[edit] Types of Obyriths

Draudnu: Has three, long, spindly legs that support and attach to its body at the top. Swollen sacs of fluid bulge from its barrel-shaped body, which terminates beneath with a single red eye, around which extend three hooked appendages. These ruthless killers seek to rid the Abyss of non-obyriths, corrupting the minds and destroying the bodies of creatures they encounter.

Ekolid: Resembling the union of an ant, a scorpion and a spider, these verminlike obyriths live in swarms, except on Zionyn (663th layer of the Abyss), where they build huge, resinous cities in honor of their master and patron, the demon lord Obox-ob.

Laghathti: Laghathti resemble oily black octopuses. They lurk near the surface of the River Styx, where they steal memories from their victims.

Sibriex: Sybriexes resemble enormous deformed faces floating in the air, linked to the ground by metal chains. Sybriexes enjoy modeling flesh, and are rumored to have a role in the shaping of the forms of the tanar'ri.

Uzollru: Uzollru resemble massive aquatic centipedes, with fins rather than legs, and a head sporting a single red eye ringed by feeding tentacles. They primarily serve the demon prince Dagon in his realm of Shadowsea.
