[Unlike most of the monsters posted here, I have actually used a psoglav in game! My players really hate it when monsters have ranged capacity.]
Psoglav Crouching in the shadows is a
twisted giant, its hands tipped with iron claws and its legs in iron hooves.
Its head is that of a snarling wolf, a single eye glaring balefully from over
its muzzle. The stink of rotting meat wafts off of the creature.
Psoglavs
are monstrous predators native to the Plane of Shadow. Psoglavs have an
affinity for the undead, treating smaller and weaker undead as snacks and
minions and kowtowing to more powerful creatures such as liches or
nightshades. They delight in spreading
panic and will terrorize a community for days before striking, digging up
graves in order to consume corpses and loot burial goods. Avaricious creatures,
they hoard gemstones with fervor and will take foolish risks in order to obtain
especially fine specimens.
A psoglav
is a cunning adversary and rarely fights fair. They use their natural abilities
to weaken and harass opponents before closing in for the kill. Most psoglavs do
not hesitate to flee if the battle turns against them, and may attempt to
abduct a weakened adversary and whisk them away to the Plane of Shadow as a
parting insult. Psoglavs are not especially cooperative creatures, and combats
with multiple psoglavs often turn into competitions between the monsters to
slay more opponents. A psoglav stands 12 feet tall and weighs about 1000
pounds.
