Eblis

Eblis (pronouced "EH-blee" or "EB-lis" ) were large birdlike monstrosities that roamed the jungles of Chult.

Description
Eblis resembled large cranes and behaved like ordinary birds in many ways, including laying eggs.

Personality
They were intelligent, greedy, and utterly evil creatures, who were interested mainly in using other creatures to forward their self-serving goals. They were also extremely vengeful and took great pleasure in luring other creatures into deadly traps.

Society
Eblis dwelt in huts and nests that they constructed out of riverside foliage, which they also used to hide their treasure hordes.

History
It was said that eblis originated as reincarnations of evil humans as a punishment for deeds such as larceny and kidnapping.

Notable eblis
Papazotl, one of the Nine Trickster Gods of Chult, was an eblis.
