The shator are the shortest of the gehreleths. Standing at just 6 feet in height, the shator are considered squat and broad for their kind. Their hides are extremely baggy and quite often have several layers of folds. Their heads are huge, and their mouths - like the maw of a bulldog is the predominant feature.

Habitat/SocietyGehreleths are the “summoning stock” of the Lower Planes. Wizards and priests often get one when summoning. Gehreleths are dangerous to summoners as they never forget. Farastu in particular enjoy disobeying the summoner. For more information, see PlaneScape 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 PlaneScape Monstrous Compendium I (pg. 42-45).
