Nothics cackle maddeningly for no apparentreason.Dungeoneering DC 23: Nothics serve powerfulcreatures that enjoy their erratic and amusing behavior.Nothic are also vicious combatants; they defendtheir masters with devotion.Dungeoneering DC 25: Nothics live among theundead and in cults of Vecna, serving as guardiansand jesters.
