Machalas first appears in Ed Greenwood's article "The Nine Hells Part I" in Dragon #75 (1983).[1]
Machalas was briefly detailed in Fiendish Codex II: Tyrants of the Nine Hells (2006).[2]
Machalas appears as a tall, thin humanoid with black, scaly skin, a black forked tail, black cloven hooves, large black batlike wings, and large jaws. His horned head is a startling fiery red, and his eyes are slanted and entirely white, so that they appear to have no pupils or irises unless examined very closely. His face appears ugly and batlike (the jaws most prominent), and his voice is a soft, menacing, hissing tone.
Machalas was formerly a vassal of Geryon, commanding 11 companies of hamatulas (barbed devils). He presently serves Levistus.
