Gwyllion are hideous lesser hags. They attack travelers, or else lead them to dangerous stretches of the mountain they call home. Gwyllion love the suffering of humans, but are friends to the mountain goats, and sometimes take the shape of such an animal.

Combat: Gwyllion do not like an open fight. They will attempt to ambush an opponent significantly weaker than they are, but otherwise would prefer to trick travelers into a pit trap or other hazard In their natural form, it does not take much for a Gwyllion to be mistaken for an old and bent human woman, but her red eyes and claw-like nails give her away on close inspection.

Alternate Form: A Gwyllion may choose to take the form of a mountain goat at any time. Shifting between forms is a move equivalent action that provokes attacks of opportunity. In goat form, the Gwyllion has its own mental stats, but is otherwise like any normal mountain goat.
