The ghast is a small, vicious creature that dwells in mountain caves. One is little more than a nuisance and will flee if threatened. A pack of five or more, however, is much bolder and can be easily overwhelm a bear.

Although ghasts are cunning and able to cooperate for survival, they show no signs of true intelligence. They are unable to speak, communicating only through grunts and squeals.

Ghasts are short but vicious humanoids that dwell within mountain caves. Though individually small and timid, these creatures are surprisingly vicious when encountered in large numbers.

Background

Taking shelter in various mountain caves, ghasts are highly territorial creatures who live together in packs. If they have sufficient numbers, they will drive away or even kill those who encroach on their territory with malicious fervor.

While they are cunning and are capable of understanding the basics of cooperation, ghasts aren't considered truly intelligent beings, as they are incapable of speech. Despite this, some ghasts have demonstrated an aptitude for magic. Called velghastrial, these ghasts quickly rise up in the pack's social structure, and often become its leader.

Trivia

  • Ghasts share many traits with common fantasy goblins, who are also short, individually weak creatures who find strength in numbers. It's possible that ghasts also share their habit of scavenging, as seen with some of their number.
