Innate Spellcasting. The justice archon's innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 14). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:

At will: aid, continual flame, detect evil and good

Aura of Menace. The archon emanates an aura of menace in a 30-foot radius. The first time any enemy creature enters the aura or starts its turn there during a battle, the creature must succeed on a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened of the archon for 1 minute or until it takes any damage.   Magic Resistance. The archon has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Actions

The archon magically teleports, along with any equipment it is wearing or carrying and any creatures it has grappled, up to 60 feet to an unoccupied space it can see.

Bonus Actions

The fearsome justice archons are the peacekeepers in Mount Celestia, appearing as winged humanoids garbed in resplendent looking plate armor.   Zealous Inquisitors. If anyone commits an atrocity in the Upper Planes, you can be sure that justice archons will come for them. Unfortunately, their zealousness to mete swift justice often brings them into conflict with those who ask for mercy or leniency. Despite these issues, justice archons are highly valued for their vigilance and fervor.   When encountered in the Material Plane, justice archons are likely on a mission to capture or deliver judgement on a creature.
