Monster Trove: Old Fears and Hungry Things
Gallu
Large
About
A Gallu is a powerful Lower-Realm captor sent to seize someone whose presence is demanded below. It has a human outline distorted by talons, burial dust, and the pressure of a realm where refusal carries physical weight. Gallu bypass temptation and negotiation. They present an authority, name the claimed soul, and drag away anyone who obstructs the collection.

Special Attack
Drag Below: one creature within 20 ft makes a Tough save. A failure pulls it 20 ft toward a dark threshold and deals 2d8 necrotic damage.
Special Defense
Demand the Warrant: presenting a conflicting divine claim or proving the named soul is not the intended one forces the Gallu to make a Mind save. On a failure, Drag Below ends while it verifies the claim.
