Dhergoloth

Dhergoloths prefer to enter into contracts to guard valuable treasures and important locations. They always do exactly as asked never any more, never any less. Dhergoloths rush into battle like whirlwinds of destruction, lashing out with five sets of claws, which extend from their squat, barrel-shaped bodies.
Since dhergoloths are little more than dumb brutes, employers must use caution when instructing these fiends. They can handle simple orders that don't take a lot of thought to resolve. When given anything complex to do, they either forget what they're told or don't listen in the first place, and then bungle the task that was set for them.
Dhergoloth are fundamentally lazy creatures. Given no reason to attack, they rarely rise to the bait.
A Dhergoloth’s head doesn’t turn around along with its furiously spinning torso, and its torso can spin in a different direction from its dancing legs.
