NIHILOOR

The illithid Nihiloorworks for Xanathar, spending its

days creating intellect devourers and setting them loose

in the sewers ofWaterdeep. Each intellect devourer at-

tacks the first humanoid it encounters, us ing its victim

as a puppet to spy on the city and relay information back

to Nihiloor. Occasionally, an intellect devourer is in-

structed to seek out a particular kind of target, such as a

member of the City Guard or the City Watch. Sometimes

its instructions will include orders to capture specific

Waterdavians and bring them to Skullport, where they

can be enslaved or ransomed.

Nihiloor has an alien mind, and it considers itself

Xanathar's equal. It has no interest in supplanting the

beholder, however, preferring to operate in the shadows

and pursue its own fell schemes.

GAME STATISTICS

Nihiloor is a mfad flayer.

APPENDIX B 1 MONSTERS AND NPCS

NIMBLEWRIGHT

A nimblewright is a magical construct c reated to serve

as a guard or assassin. Composed predominantly of

lightweight wood and powered by magic, it can pass for

humanoid while wearing clothing. Some nimblewrights

wear plain clothing, while others are clad in flashier

attire. A nimblewright is emotionless, its face frozen in

whatever expression was given to it by its creator.

Duelist. A nimblewright moves like a dancer and

fights like a swashbuckler, using dodges and parries to

avoid damage while deftly skewering its foes.

Constructed Nature. A nimblewright doesn't require

air, food, drink, or sleep. Damage it takes can be re-

paired with mending spells, but a nimblewright reduced

to 0 hit points is permanently destroyed.
