Dretch

Dretches were the least powerful of tanar'ri demonkind.

Description
Dretches were ape-like creatures with arms ending in clawed hands. They stood about 4 feet tall and weighed 60 pounds. They were unable to speak and communicated only telepathically.

Personality
Dretches were thoroughly wicked and possessed a driving need to cause dismay and ruin. They were very cowardly and incredibly stupid, but they were more afraid of their demon overlods than of death.

Combat
Dretches preferred to attack in large mobs to overwhelm their victims. Each dretch had the ability to summon another dretch, but that ability often failed.

Society
Dretches served greater tanar'ri demons as fodder.
