Verbeeg

Bestiary entry by Aldric Shadowmark, Grand Hunters Lodge

Classification: Giant-kin
Habitat: Hills and forests
Threat Level: Moderate

Description

The smallest of giant-kin at ten feet tall, Verbeegs are cunning and cowardly compared to their larger cousins. They resemble lanky, ugly humans and often work as scouts or servants for true giants.

Behavior

Verbeegs prefer trickery and ambush over direct confrontation. They bully creatures smaller than themselves while groveling before the strong. Many serve as intermediaries between giants and smaller folk.

Combat Notes

More intelligent than they appear. They set traps and use poison. Expect them to flee if outmatched, then return with reinforcements. Can be bribed or intimidated.
