In Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide reference is made to a malaugrym - something that can apparently take the form of an elf. I have looked through the index of MM, FRCG and FRPG, but have not pored through the books enough yet to find any description.

Anyone know?

Does anyone know what a malaugrym is - as referenced on page 88 under the Simbarch Council heading?

There is a decent amount of info - everything worth knowing really - on pages 258 and 259 of the Forgotten Realm's Campaign Guide.

When the index fails - try the table of contents.

These creatures are described in the threats section later in the book.

-The Malaugrym are a race of shape shifters that hail from another world, and have been invading Faerûn via the Plane of Shadows since around the Time of Troubles, at least. They are spherical in nature, float above the ground, green, with three tentacles that end in hooks, three eyes, and a beaked mouth on their bodies.

In their natural forms they're kind of freaky looking. The only other source I've seen them in is Monsters of Faerun for 3.0. I don't know how easy it would be to find, but there is some more information on them there.

There's a two-page spread on the malaugrym on pp.258-259 of the FRCG.

The lack of a proper index in any of these 4th ed. books is just breathtakingly annoying.

See Ed's "Shadow of the Avatar" trilogy for more on the malaugrym. And Ed's compiled Candlekeep replies also.

MUCH earlier then that - One was involved in the fall of Athalanter, Elminster's home, and that was a thousand years ago.

-Hence "at least".
