Belgoi

Terrain: Tablelands

Frequency: Uncommon

# Appearing: 1-10

At first sight, the belgoi appear human – and then you notice the long clews on the end of their fingers, their puckered mouths, deep set eyes, skull like features and their webbed, three-toed feet. They are a race of ignorant demihumans who dwell in the most forlorn wastes of Athas. They have a taste for the flesh of intelligent races and no ruler will tolerate them within five days travel of his city

Combat

Belgoi usually attack by sneaking up on their victim’s camp and selecting a juicy looking target. Each belgoi rings a smell bell that allows it to make contact with its victim, then attempts to use domination to take over the victim’s body and have him leave camp, or attraction to lure the victim into the darkness. If the belgoi’s contact is successful, only the victim can hear the bell, but if it fails, then the entire party hears it. Once the victim is lured out of camp, the belgoi caresses and touches the victim, temporarily draining their strength until they fall unconscious, and the belgoi sits down to feast. When a battle starts to go against the belgoi, they will flee and fetch replacements for any of their fallen comrades, then return a short time later to attack again. Therefore, battles with belgoi often turn into long, running fights that last for many days. The only way to prevent the belgoi from returning time after time is to kill them all before they have a chance to escape.

Habitat/Society

Basically, the belgoi form huge raiding tribes end behave as such. They tend to make their homes in forlorn parts of the desert, but journey forth in greet numbers to harass the trading routes, settled villages, end anywhere else they can find a plentiful supply of poorly defended people. Belgoi hosts tend to move in small parties of 1-10 individuals. When they encounter likely-looking prey, the scouting party usually attacks, looking to its own dinner first. If they have stumbled across a large group, however, they will fetch other members of their tribe end return to attack with greeter numbers.
