Dretch
Stinky trash demon. A small aberration.
Imagine a slumbering and bloated hairless green monkey with a bat face. All it wants is to create the biggest pile of rotting flesh.
Like a very dumb and evil chimp.

It is immune to poison. It resists mind attacks (because it’s an aberration). It can smell the absence of rot. It can’t die unless it’s would-be killer saves vs fear.
Attacks (1/round)
Claw. The dretch makes two melee attacks (1D4).
Fetid Cloud. The dretch expels a putrid cloud that obscures the area around it, lasting 1 minute. Creatures must save or be poisoned while in the cloud.

DM Notes
The most common and least powerful of all demons according to Jim Holloway in the Monster Manual II. I wanted to keep them pretty close to the original. — SaltyGoo
