Abduct: With a successful bite, a Barghest Snatcher gets a free grapple check. If it succeeds, the victim must make a Will save DC 21, or be teleported to the abyssal plane. A Barghest Snatcher may only do this once per day. The Barghest Snatcher may attempt this as many times per day as needed until it succeeds in abducting a victim. It is rumored that if a Barghest Snatcher kidnaps enough nonevil humanoids, it attains demon status.


A snarling canine beast stares with cold white eyes, its jagged teeth and claws shimmer as it tenses, ready to pounce.

Author's Note: I needed a way to randomly teleport my players around the cosmos tee hee!
