From the writhing, daemonic horde, a lone figure makes itself known, striding forward with an otherworldly confidence. The creature is tall and lean, its mottled gray body heavy with corded muscle. Bulbous, ovoid eyes swirling with light and color peer out from an otherwise featureless visage, and fine, silken robes drape its shoulders. Around its neck hangs a necklace of severed fingers from myriad creatures. Its beastly followers gather around it, sneering and snarling as the leader brandishes a wicked, curved blade of alien metal—and then points its tip at you.
Ultroloths command the yugoloth armies of the Blood War. An ultroloth looks like a slender gray-skinned humanoid with an elongated head. Its face bears no features except for two ovoid eyes. These eyes can become sparkling pools of light that can transfix other creatures and leave them reeling and helpless.
Frequently at one another's throats, ultroloths continually scheme to enhance their own power. When not employed to fight in the Blood War, ultroloths lead yugoloth forces throughout the planes, acting as crime bosses or commanders of evil mercenary companies.
With a reputation for cruelty, ultroloths command their minions to fight while the ultroloths stay removed from combat themselves. Lesser yugoloths know their place when facing an ultroloth and respond to its summons without demand for payment.
