Monsters: Neogi

Monsters: Neogi

Ah, neogi - one of my favorites! These alien aberrations' mindset dictates that everyone is either a slave or a master. Thus, the entire neogi society is a multi-tiered chain of masters and slaves. Their lore is very interesting, so I'd recommend reading Lords of Madness and an article about them in Dragon Magazine #214.
