| Standing near thirteen feet tall, this vaguely humanoid creature glares at you with a pair of burning yellow eyes. Its slate gray body is completely hairless and corded with muscles. Its two long, lanky arms end in three wicked looking talons. Despite its hulking appearance, a fierce intelligence burns behind those yellow eyes. |
| The cacoloths are the guards in the yugoloth caste system. Specifically, they are the personal guards of the Altroloths and the Oinoloth, however they do occasionally serve high ranking ultroloths and arcanaloths. |
|
Cacoloths are unquestionably loyal in their guard duties – an oddly lawful trait – however, when serving ultroloths and arcanaloths, they do very little to hide the contempt they have for their charges. Obviously, cacoloths think that ‘mere’ ultroloths and arcanaloths are unworthy of their protection or that their abilities would be better served elsewhere. Unfortunately, the cacoloths haven’t been very forthcoming on this issue as of yet. |
| Cacoloths stand near 13 feet tall and weigh about 1,000 pounds. |
| COMBAT |
| A cacoloth’s most potent abilities are its emanations and it knows this. Their emanations allow them to quickly change tactics on the battlefield and easily affect a large number of opponents. Despite this, cacoloths love to wade into battle and tear into enemies with their talons. Often, if they know that they will soon be going into battle, they prepare by casting greater magic fang on their bite and claws. |
| A cacoloth’s natural weapons, as well as any weapons it wields, are treated as evil-aligned for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. |
| Emanations (Su): As a swift action, a cacoloth can emanate one of five different effects from its body. The cacoloth can only have one emanation active at the same time. The emanations are: |

| Spell-Like Abilities: At will – deeper darkness, desecrate, detect chaos, detect good, detect law, greater dispel magic, greater magic fang, greater teleport (self plus 50 pounds of objects only), polymorph (self only), wall of force; 3/day – call lightning storm (DC 20), cone of cold (DC 20); 1/day – blasphemy (DC 22), circle of death (DC 21), power word stun. Caster level 16th. The save DC’s are Charisma based. |
| Summon Yugoloths (Sp): Once per day a cacoloth can attempt to summon 1d6 dergholoths, 1d4 mezzoloths, or another cacoloth with a 60% chance of success. This is the equivalent of a 7th-level spell. |
| See Invisibility (Su): Cacoloths have a continuous see invisibility ability, as the spell (caster level 16th). |
