Halfing Vermin Priest (4e Creature)

This creature can be used with the one-page adventure Vermin Hollow by Rob. The villain of this adventure is Old Toby Burfoot, a halfling who worships Grothmog, the god of vermin.

These priests have accrued so much divine power from their deity that their bodies have become a writhing mass of beetles, roaches and scorpions.

Encounters

A vermin halfling priest may or may not have a retinue of halfing acolytes, but will always be accompanied by giant centipedes, rats or other monstrous vermin.
