The mightiest of all kilkorn are the kilkorn overlords, vast creatures with huge greatswords that combust when they strike their victims, vicious horns that drip with poison that they use to rip apart victims, and formidable spellcasting abilities. They resemble fat, bloated foulbloods, but they are surprisingly agile for creatures of their size, and they have four arms, two of which carry their hefty greatswords, while the others carry mighty crossbows. They are the leaders of kilkorn settlements, though they rarely enter combat, instead relying on their underlings to win battles for them. A kilkorn overlord's enmity against the drow is nearly unmatched, however, and they will often trick unwary adventurers into doing their dirty work for them. A kilkorn overlord is the result of a foulblood that survives a harrowing ritual that bonds it permanently to a certain archdevil, and the armies of a kilkorn overlord are often reinforced with devils that also serve their bonded archdevil. It is said that when a kilkorn overlord dies, it is instantly transported to the side of their archdevil, transformed into a powerful fiendish form, with complete memory of what it once was, and how it died. Fiendish Nature. A kilkorn overlord doesn't require air, food, drink, or sleep.
