Canoloth

Creature
Canoloth's are specialized yugoloths who serve as scout, skirmishers and trackers. They are not common but a few is always a great plus to any yugoloth mercenary company.

They resemble to great semi-instectile mastiffs, their body is covered with chitin armor. Their mouth is made from both a horizontal and vertical set of teeth and a barbed tongue lolls out from the creature's mouth. It has no eyes, it relies on smell and hearing.

Combat
Canoloths are never surprised. Only powerful stenches or very loud noises can "blind" them.

They attack with their front claws and bite their opponents with their horrifying jaws. They can entangle their opponents with their tongue.

They suffer double damage from cold-based attacks. They can be struck only by weapons of magical enchantment.

Habitat
Their lack of intelligence made the cannoloths the most loyal of their race, theirfore the yugoloth leaders use them as personal servants. They make excellent guards, assassins or retrievers.

When canoloths are not with a mercenary company, they spend their time bounding through the foul wastes of lower planes in search of lesser creatures to torment.

Some spells of binding and entrapment use canoloth tongue as recipient, the organ will bring about 1.000 gp in the right market.
