So I'm reading Ed Greenwood's latest Knights of Myth Drannor series, and I'm about halfway through the Swords of Dragonfire novel, when it occurs to me that I don't recall ever seeing this monster called a "hargaunt" before. But it does weirdly seem familiar...

I've tried looking through all of my books, and I must be missing it somewhere... or is the Hargaunt a new monster? At first I thought Ed was giving us a story from the "old days", but he's put in elements that didn't show up until later 3.5E.

So am I missing the hargaunt in some distant reference, and there's a statted-up description? Or is this a "new" monster for the Realms, even though it's an "early" story, timeline-wise?

Nothing familiar to me. Even I've found nothing at all in the consolidated lists.

Darn! It must be "new", then.

I couldn't find much, even at CandleKeep, but This Thread may help.

Interesting... so the hargaunt might be a "peltast"... hmm! I'll have to go find that. Thanks.

I'm guessing some variation on a Homunculus or such. Or maybe a new kind of undead?
