The Daedroth is an evil creature from another world, sent to guard the ruins of temples once used by the Drow in arcane and blasphemous rites. A humanoid creature with a reptilian cast, this beast can claw with it's great talons or bite with it's alligator-like mouth for considerable damage, but the real danger lies in it's breath weapon. Four times daily, the Daedroth can breath forth a cloud of chlorine gas like a Green Dragon (q.v.). It prefers to weaken opponents with this attack before rushing in to claw and bite them.

The Daedroth's otherworldyness gives it a special defense: it can only be injured with magic weapons or spells. 

When guarding the forgotten ruin it has been set to, it will pursue intruders up to a half-mile away; however, if missile weapons or ranged spell attacks are used it will continue the pursuit until it has slain those who trespassed. The Daedroth will usually not attack Drow immediately; all other races are forfeit if they intrude upon the places the Daedroth has been set to guard.
