Minions of Set
Today? The last conversion from the Egyptian Mythos chapter of the AD&D Deities & Demigods for use with 5E D&D.
[Minions of Set] appear in black scaly platemail and use broadswords. They are fully intelligent and act as go-betweens for Set and mankind. These beings never need to check morale. (Deities & Demigods, pages 54)

Devil’s Sight. Magical darkness doesn’t impede the minion’s darkvision.
Infernal Fortitude. The minion adds double its normal proficiency bonus to Strength and Constitution saving throws.
Magic Resistance. The minion has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
Shapechanger. The minion can use its action to polymorph into a beast form that resembles a giant snake (Large, 30 ft., swim 30 ft.), a brown bear (Large, 40 ft., climb 30 ft.), a giant crocodile (Huge, 30 ft., swim 30 ft.), or a giant scorpion (Large, 40 ft.), or back into its true form. Its statistics are the same in each form, except for the size and speed changes noted. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying isn’t transformed. It reverts to its true form if it dies.
