Dusolith

Dusoliths are intelligent, evil beasts that are located in nearly every uncivilized part of the mid-regions. They're quite aware of fear and are said to be capable of sensing it in other creatures. This is said to arouse the beast to become violent. Some dusoliths have notable personalities, some like to play with their unfortunate victims (often roaming nomads or wandering and helpless children) before eating them.

Some creatures who are able to tame beasts may make mounts or 'pets' out of dusoliths. This requires a lot of skill and a willingness to deal with a malevolent beast. Most tame dusoliths were raised by their masters from birth.

Dusoliths can understand common, but cannot speak it.

Appearance
Dusoliths are named for their dwellings in sandstorms and other harsh weather conditions, and their obsidian bodies, which resembles thick stone in texture. Their eyes are narrow and their teeth are like needles. For their size, their legs are quite spindly and thin.

A full grown dusolith stands around 11 feet tall and weighs around 700 lbs.

Combat
Dusolith attack with their legs and stinging bites. They're also able to spit corrosive acid that comes from their stomach. This corrosive acid is also regurgitated sometimes to aid in the assistance of torturing creatures the dusolith may have locked in its jaws, dissolving a creature while it is still alive.
