[QUOTE="Leatherhead, post: 8682248, member: 53176"] [HEADING=2]Shoosuva (VGtM)[/HEADING] Shoosuva are hyena-demons, that are in the service of Yeenoghu*, obviously. They are often given as a gift to particularly noteworthy cultists*, including Gnolls, and especially Gnoll Fangs of Yeenoghu†[I]. [/I]Any Gnoll who manages to receive such a boon is considered to be a high ranking member of their warband, only second to a Flind‡. * Much Later in this book. † Not actually in this book, they are in the MM, and confirmed to be in the Revised MM too I guess. ‡ Previously in this book. I suppose the main takeaway from this is that despite Gnolls turning into Monstrosities or Demons in this book, there are still humanoid cultists of Yeenoghu that can run with the pack. Shoosuva are, despite their relatively simple combat routine, more dangerous than their CR of 8 would imply. They have a multiattack with a Bite and a Tail Stinger. Demonic resistances. The Rampage feature that enables them to key off of Gnoll leaders (or just go on a rampage). And they are big and fast enough to make for an effective mount. What makes them stand out is the poison that their tail stinger comes with. This poison also paralyzes, which is a really bad status condition to have when you are surrounded by hungry Gnolls (or Canibal Cultists for that matter). In the changeover, the Shoosuva lost their resistance to non-magic weapons, but at CR 8 basically everyone had one anyway. In return, they gained 26 HP, which is quite the windfall at any level.
