Dretch are the weakest of all demonkind. Their appearance is almost comical, with a plump body with thin, gangly arms and legs. Their squat heads are bald and they have a slobbering, stupid visage.

Dretch usually attack in hordes, using tooth and claw in blind abandon. They also have the following special abilities which they can use at will, one at a time: darkness (5-ft radius), scare (as the 2nd level magic user spell), telekinesis (as the 5th level magic user spell, up to 50 lbs), or gate (as the 9th level magic user spell) a class A demon (15% chance of success). In addition, once per day they can cause a stinking cloud (as the 2nd level magic user spell), and teleport without fail (as the 5th level magic user spell, but with no chance of error).
