Winged Horror

For the Animate Dead summon see Flying Ghoul.

Winged Horror are undead creatures and a non-playable race which can fly, unlike their Ghoul counterparts. They can be encountered at the Last Light Inn, Mind Flayer Colony and in The High Hall.

“

With their jagged wings and razor-sharp teeth, these undead gorge on humanoid flesh in the depth of night.

— In-game racial description

Involvement

Though most are naturally hostile, a group of three neutral winged horrors can be encountered along the upper ramparts of Moonrise Towers at X: -173 Y: -205. These particular flying ghouls lament their hunger, remarking that dead bodies have been poured into the tunnels below the tower rather than being fed to them, as they were promised.

The player character can pacify them with a DC 16 Persuasion, or Intimidation check, use Illithid Persuasion to convince the ghouls to eat one another, or attack them outright.
