Zorbos (pronounced: /ˈzɔːrboʊz/ ZOR-bohz[1]) were small, carnivorous creatures[3] native to Chult.[5]
Description[]
Zorbos were typically around three feet tall, and covered in gray fur. They had sharp teeth, as well as sharp claws on both hands and feet.[4]
Within Shou Lung, a variety of zorbo that resembled pandas was known.[6]
Behavior[]
They favored human meat, but were also known to enjoy the meat of dwarves, elves, gnomes, and halflings.[4]
Combat[]
In combat, zorbos had the unusual ability to draw on their surroundings to make themselves tougher. For example, a zorbo fighting inside a cave could draw upon the aspects of stone. Additionally, zorbos could absorb the protective features of armor and magical items. If such an item were hit by a zorbo, it would dissolve into dust.[4]
Ecology[]
Zorbos were most often found in groups of one to four individuals.[3] One of their preferred homes was within wukka trees,[7] and as many as a dozen zorbos could live in a single wukka tree.[8]
Notable zorbos[]
- Obo'laka, one of the Nine Trickster Gods of Chult, was a zorbo.[9]
