Description
A Bodach looks like a huge hairy goblin with green complexion. It stands up to seven feet tall. A bodach can appear as an old man, but even then it dresses with rags and mismatched clothes and with several decrepit- looking weapons such as spears, swords, and axes. It can speak Common and Elvish and use the following spell-like abilities at-will: Speak with Monster, water breathing, Ventriloquism, Crystal Ball (Clairvoyance only), and darkvision.
A bodach likes to talk, taunt, and tell bad jokes and tall tales. It is prone to fits of giggles. It is normally solitary but sometimes a pair of them will be encountered wandering about. On occasion, one can also be found in the lair of a bog crone.
