Description
Monstrous squid-headed aberrations that hide in dense jungle and prey upon the unwary, the savage yaggol are the bane of the cha’asii elves in Taladas.
The yaggol, also known as akitu-shai or crawling maws, are an ancient race of wicked squid-like humanoids. Once gifted with remarkable innate powers of mysticism, their connection to the ambient magic of the world has faded, and their culture degenerated into barbarism and depravity. Two distinct castes have formed: the savage yaggol and the rare elite yaggol
Yaggol Traits. Members of both yaggol castes have bulbous, tentacled heads and lean, emaciated bodies, although the savage yaggol possess a wiry strength that the elite yaggol have lost. Elite yaggol are dressed in tattered robes, tunics, torn cloaks, or other clothing that give every impression of decrepitude. Savage yaggol wear less clothing or eschew clothing altogether. All yaggol are violent and fierce, perhaps because they know how far their kind has fallen.
Yaggol are somewhat short-lived, having a life expectancy of only 50 to 60 years. They are well over 7 feet tall and weigh between 200 and 240 pounds.
Yaggol speak a language of their own known as Yaggol. Many also pick up the language of the cha’asii elves or that of local human tribes.
A savage yaggol will lie in wait for an enemy, using its natural camouflaging skills to best effect. Then, when its opponent is in range, it will charge in and use its slam attack. Savage yaggol usually do not resort to their mind blast attack, as it drains their resources. They prefer to beat their opponents into submission and remove their brains. They almost never make use of weapons.
