Arcanaloth

From Forgotten Realms Wiki

[edit]

The arcanaloth are the record keepers of yugoloths. All transactions for services rendered in the Blood War goes through them. As Yugoloths goes ,they are a civilized breed.

An arcanaloth appear as a robed human with the head of a fanged jackal or war dog.

[edit] Combat

The physical attack of a powerful arcanaloth consists of a claw and bite routine. They enjoy inflicting pain and torment with their claws.

All arcanolths commonly memorize destructive spells but they keep a wise eye on their escape and defensive spells for good measure.

They are extremely intelligent and use their spells to their best advantage. In general, these creatures avoid hand-to-hand combat.

Arcanaloths are harmed only by magical weapons of great enchantment. They are immune to mind affecting spells. They may never be surprised while on lower planes. They can only be permanently destroyed while on Gehenna

[edit] Habitat

These powerful creatures negotiate all contracts with Baatezu and Tanar'ri and plays each side against other with paractised ease.

The preferred dwelling place of the arcanaloths is the plane of Gehenna as they draw power from the mighty furnaces there. They will never leave the plane if at all possible and only do so for very brief periods of time
