YAGNOLOTH
Anyone who would contract yugoloths for a task usually
ends up dealing with a yagnoloth. Cunning negotiators,
these strange fiends handle the writing of contracts for
all of their kind. Once a yagnoloth is hired, it communi-
cates its employer's desires to the fiends it commands.
Although they are entrusted with leading lesser yu-
goloths, yagnoloths ultimately take their orders from
arcanaloths and ultroloths. Aside from their superiors,
yagnoloths have full authority over and expect obedi-
ence from the fiends under their command. A yagnoloth
follows the dictates in a contract it negotiated, but it is
certain to have included a loophole to escape its obliga-
tion if the situation warrants.
A yagnoloth has one arm of human size and one
giant-sized arm, and it always covers one or the other
with a long cape. During negotiations, the yagnoloth
uncovers its human arm and uses it to draft and sign
contracts. When a show of force is necessary or when
combat is joined, it shifts its cape to reveal its brutally
powerful giant appendage.
