==Ecology==
Quaggoths are sometimes enslaved by other races, notably [[Drow (Dungeons & Dragons)|drow]].

===Environment===
Quaggoths usually live in underground lairs.

===Typical physical characteristics===
Quaggoths are about seven feet tall and covered in shaggy white hair, though brown-haired quaggoths are sometimes seen.

===Alignment===
Quaggoths are usually [[Alignment (Dungeons & Dragons)#Neutral|neutral]] in alignment.

==Society==
Quaggoths are savage, bestial hunters who live in nomadic tribes.

==Quaggoths in Greyhawk==
In the ''[[World of Greyhawk]]'' [[campaign setting]], quaggoths live in cold regions above ground. They are most commonly found in the [[Forlorn Forest]], but have also been encountered in [[Blackmoor (Greyhawk)|Blackmoor]], the [[Burneal Forest]], the [[Cold Marshes]], the [[Hraak Forest]], and the lands of the [[Tiger Nomads|Tiger]] and [[Wolf Nomads]]. In ancient times, the quaggoths were far more numerous, but thousands were slain by [[Elf (Dungeons & Dragons)|elves]] in the [[War of Extermination]].

The most notable quaggoth in the [[Flanaess]] is [[Shag Solomon]], a "civilized" quaggoth who plays a minor role in the [[Age of Worms]] [[adventure path]].
