Description
Ursaloths are the most powerful of guardian yugoloths. These vicious yugoloths look like a 12-foot tall bipedal bear with bat-like wings sprouting from their backs and terrible eagle-like talons for hands.
In combat, they prefer to tear their opponents to shreds with their bites and talons. If facing challenging opponents, they can use their devastating fire breath. In addition to these abilities, they are able to employ spells that can snuff light, confuse opponents, and dispel enemy magic. This kind of versatility and power makes the ursaloths highly sought after, and are very expensive guardians to acquire.
