Ultroloth

Ultroloths were the faceless, enigmatic rulers of the yugoloths, holding sway over their underlings by the force of their will and their reputation for cruelty.

Description
Ultroloths appeared as literally faceless humanoids with their only features being their bulbous, ovoid eyes that resembled fire opals. They were lithe and slender, standing roughly between tall and weighing  pounds. Their skin was a mottled dark gray, contrasting the coursing colors and swirling patterns in their eyes. Those not entranced by the colors were deceived by the ultroloth into viewing them as a subject they loved or admired. Most ultroloths wore robed cloaks or flowing capes, as well as using the severed fingers of their victims as materials for necklaces. They had a distinctly alien appearance with greatly elongated heads, and without the benefits of a mouth, they communicated using telepathy.

Combat
Ultroloths, though evil, were cerebral and reserved. They rarely entered combat. Their physical attack consisted of two hand strikes, whilst their touch inflicted energy damage. They could be found carrying weapons, too. They were fond of swords and great pole-arms. Their gaze had the power to fascinate, as the spell hypnotic pattern. No attack of a non-magical nature affected an ultroloth. They were harmed only by weapons of magic. They had infravision and were never surprised.

Habitat
None of the lower planes mercenaries would dare to disobey an ultroloth for fear of the punishment. Even non-yugoloths dwelling in the lower planes steered clear of them, fearing their powers. However, the actual power of the ultroloth was not all that much greater than others of their kind, no yugoloth of lesser status knew the capabilities of their rulers. They were of an unknown quantity, and thus greatly feared.
