Dergholoth

From Forgotten Realms Wiki

[edit]

Dergholoth's are lower rank yugoloths and are used as rank-and-file troops. They have a round body with five arms and three legs, and their insect-like heads can rotate 360 degrees. They are extremely strong but also extremely stupid.

[edit] Combat

Dergholoth's five arms end in stubby four-clawed hands. Sometimes they can carry weapons but never magical ones.

They can grab their opponents with 2 of their arms which can give them a bonus attacking with their other arms.

They have the power to feeblemind by chattering senselessly and clicking it's mouth pincers rapidly. They can only use this power with long periods between.

Despite their stupidity, they are stubborn creatures to control. They can not be harmed by normal weapons. They can only be destroyed in their home planet.

[edit] Habitat

They are the native of planet Hades but are found in planes Tarterus and Gehenna as well.

Dergholoths are subjected to constant abuse from higher level yugoloths and that makes them very mean, which in turn serves yugoloths well.

When not fighting battles for their masters, dergholoths wander Hades, stealing and devouring larvae from the night hags. They can sometimes get away with many stolen larvae altough most of the time, this ends with their annihilation.
