Barghests often make use of their shapechanging abilities to rule tribes of goblinoids or to discreetly hunt in rural areas in the guise of unnaturally intelligent wolves. They do not work well together, as each barghest wants all the kills for itself; cannibalism is the typical result of too many barghests in one small area. **__Recall Knowledge - Fiend__ (__Religion__)**: DC 19' hp: 50 hp_misc: null immunities: null items: null languages: - Abyssal - Common - Goblin level: 4 melee: - action_cost: One Action damage: formula: 2d8+5 type: piercing name: jaws plus_damage: null to_hit: 13 traits: null - action_cost: One Action damage: formula: 2d6+5 type: slashing name: claw plus_damage: null to_hit: 13 traits: - agile name: Barghest perception: 12 proactive_abilities: - action_cost: One Action critical_failure: null critical_success: null description: The barghest takes on the shape of a goblinoid (a goblin, hobgoblin, or bugbear) or a wolf, or it transforms back into its true form.
