They're string pullers and manipulators, not front line fighters. 3) Ultroloths rank higher than them in the yugoloth hierarchy, and their own CR is lower... *sigh* The 3e yugoloth conversions are hit or miss. 4) Have fun with shapeshift at will 5) Advance it by HD and caster level, or just give them something to boost their con and make up for their relative lack of HP
