Though they resemble big goblins, barghests are fiends that can change into lupine form. They come into the world to feed on blood and souls and thus grow stronger.
As whelps, barghests are nearly indistinguishable from goblins, except for their size. As they grow larger and stronger, their skin darkens to blueish-red and eventually becomes a blue altogether. A full-grown barghest stands about 6 feet tall and weighs 180 pounds. A barghest's eyes glow orange when the creature becomes excited.

Barghests speak Goblin, Worg, and Infernal.
