Goristros are gigantic demons that devastate cities with raw strength and embody pure destruction. They prefer to attack structures and beings that are larger than themselves, such as castles, towers, or giants.
Their massive, scarred appearance is reminiscent of prehistoric minotaurs and reflects their creator Baphomet. In their abyssal realm, the Endless Labyrinth, they relentlessly hunt all non-demons.
With a strength score of 25, they have a +7 modifier on skill checks. They can add +13 to their strength saving throws, making them truly formidable adversaries.
This is also reflected in their CR. Well-equipped groups of 4 players should therefore be at least level 17. Thus, goristros are particularly suitable as opponents later in a campaign.
