Habitat/SocietyGehreleths are the “summoning stock” of the Lower Planes, as a result wizards and priests often get one when performing an evil summoning. Gehreleths are dangerous to summoners as they never forget. Farastu in particular enjoy disobeying the summoner. For more information, see Plane Scape Monstrous Compendium I (pg. 42-45).0
EcologyGehreleths are spawned from the decaying bodies of beings who traveled to the Lower Planes and died there. They produce nothing of value and serve no purpose to anything around them. For more information, see Plane Scape Monstrous Compendium I (pg. 42-45).
