Ecology
Goristro* is a creature of the Lower Planes, present in the mortal world via summoning, banishment-failure, or a planar breach. It is most often found in planar regions. It is huge-sized, which shapes how it hunts, hides, or fights.
Behaviour
Goristro* is cruel and patient, willing to take centuries to repay an insult. 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.
Origin
Goristro* is codified in the 5.5e Monster Manual. Fiends originate in the Lower Planes — the Nine Hells, the Abyss, or further hells beyond — bound to whatever cosmic hierarchy that plane enforces. Within a campaign, its existence anchors a region with the kind of weight only an old, named species carries.
