The quaggoth is a monstrous humanoid creature covered in hair. The most notable quaggoth in the Flanaess is Shag Solomon, a "civilized" quaggoth who plays a minor role in the Age of Worms adventure path.

Ecology

Quaggoths are sometimes enslaved by other races, notably drow.

Environment

Quaggoths usually live in underground lairs, or in cold regions above ground. They are most commonly found in the Forlorn Forest, but have also been encountered in Blackmoor, the Burneal Forest, the Cold Marshes, the Hraak Forest, and the lands of the Tiger and Wolf Nomads. In ancient times, the quaggoths were far more numerous, but thousands were slain by elves in the War of Extermination.

Typical physical characteristics

Quaggoths are about seven feet tall and covered in shaggy white hair, though brown-haired quaggoths are sometimes seen.

Alignment

Quaggoths are usually neutral in alignment.

Society

Quaggoths are generally savage, bestial hunters who live in nomadic tribes.
