• Dhergoloths rush into battle like whirlwinds of destruc-
tion, lashing out with five sets of claws, which extend
from their squat, barrel-shaped bodies. They take
contracts to put down uprisings, clear out rabble, and
eliminate scouts and skirmishers, and they revel in the
butchery they create, their unhinged laughter rising
above their victims' screams.
Since dhergoloths are little more than dumb brutes,
employers must use caution when instructing these
fiends. They can handle simple orders that don't take
a lot of time to resolve. When given anything complex
to do, they either forget what they're told or don't listen
in the first place, and then bungle the task that was
set for them.
