Ecology
Berbalang is an outsider to the natural order, often associated with the Far Realm or other planes whose laws differ from this world. It is most often found in desert regions. It is medium-sized, which shapes how it hunts, hides, or fights.
Behaviour
Berbalang is cold and inhuman in its goals; it does not think the way mortals think. Its alignment varies by individual or is irrelevant — it acts on instinct, drive, or whoever commands it. It is intelligent enough to plan, scheme, or remember. Spellcasting expands its repertoire well beyond what its physical stat block alone suggests.
Origin
Berbalang is reprinted in Monsters of the Multiverse and expanded in Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes. Aberrations leak from the Far Realm or older creations that predate the gods, where the laws of reality differ. Within a campaign, its existence anchors a region with the kind of weight only an old, named species carries.
