Thoul
This bony humanoid stands about 6 1/2 feet tall. It has hairy skin, thick, ropy hair, feral eyes and a flat nose and chin.
A thoul is a magical combination of a ghoul, a hobgoblin, and a troll.
A thoul looks almost exactly like a hobgoblin, though leaner and bonier. It is only when one approaches closely that distinguishable characteristics can be discerned. Its skin is a pale greenish color and rubbery. Their hair is brownish to black in color, and thick and matted. Their eyes are yellowish or dark brown, and their teeth are larger and sharper than a hobgoblins. They tend to dress in drab colors, often wearing animal hides or furs over leather armor.
Thouls speak Goblin. Those rare few that have Intelligence scores of 12 or higher also speak Common.
COMBAT
Thouls are undisciplined and lack complex strategies when they attack. It will use its natural paralysis ability to incapacitate as many foes as possible, allowing it to concentrate its attacks on those opponents that prove immune to its ghoulish touch. Their reliance on their healing abilities often leads thouls to underestimate their chances against any particular group of foes- usually leading to fatal consequences for the thoul.
Paralysis (Ex): Any foe struck by the thoul’s claw attack must make a Fortitude save against a DC 14 or else be paralyzed for 1d6+1 rounds.
Fast Healing (Ex): A thoul heals 3 hit points every round, so long as it has at least 1 hit point.
THOUL SOCIETY
Thouls are uncivilized and violent creatures. They exist on the fringes of humanoid society, feeding on the carrion and waste left behind by others.
Occasionally, thouls are taken into the service of hobgoblin tribes, to serve as bodyguards and shock troops. Under the militaristic discipline of the their "cousins", these thouls can prove to be very deadly foes. Thouls in these conditions often have very clean and high quality armor and weapons, and prove to have a keen strategic sense of mind.
