Golp

The Golp is one of the many monsters roaming Tal'Lyra. While it isn't particularly smart, it can send out a wave of flames burning everything in it's path. How the undead ball of bones and fire came to be is not know, but most of the time it lives deep under the earth guarding old relics or treasures. Because of that, most scholars assume that the Golp is a creation of old magicians, who left the bone constructs behind all over the continent after they died. The reports about the monster are not clear, so it's not sure if there are different variants or if the stories are just unreliable. Some tales mention a floating sphere, others an orb rolling around the floor, even others talk about the Golp having little feet underneath all that fire.
