In the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, the gathra is an extraplanar magical beast. They dwell on Avernus, the first layer of the Nine Hells of Baator.

Ecology[edit]

Gathra are dangerous pack animals which hunt down and devour any creature unlucky enough to be caught in the open. Devils sometimes use them as mounts.

Environment[edit]

Though predominantly found on Avernus in Baator, gathra can also be found underground on the Material Plane.

Typical physical characteristics[edit]

Gathra resemble a blend of boar and bull. They have the body of a huge, black, ugly, fiendish bovine, with a boar-like head. They have an enormous pair of horns which curve inwards on each other, and two lower tusks which stick straight up and give the impression of large, upside-down sabre-like teeth.

Alignment[edit]

Gathra, being natives of Baator, are lawful evil in alignment.

Creative origins[edit]

Gathra appeared in the 3rd Edition Fiend Folio.
