description: Once a barghest has eaten enough to grow into a greater barghest, it
  typically seeks a method to leave the Material Plane and return to the Abyss, there
  joining other fiends as yet another of that plane's horrors. As barghests have no
  innate ability to travel the planes, though, the time it takes for most greater
  barghests to engineer such a return can usually be measured in years, if not decades.
  During that time, greater barghests continue to play the roles of gluttons, hunters
  of humanity, and tyrants of goblinoid tribes. More than a few grow accustomed to
  such lives on the Material Plane and wholly abandon the end goal of returning to
  the Abyss, despite the fact that those who do make such a return home often grow
  even more powerful over time, gaining eerie new abilities and qualities absorbed
  from the raw chaos of the Abyss itself.

  description: The barghest takes on the shape of a goblinoid (a goblin, hobgoblin,
    or bugbear) or a wolf, or it transforms back into its true form. When the barghest
    is a goblinoid, it loses its jaws and claw Strikes, it becomes Small if it is
    a goblin, and its Speed changes to 20 feet. When the barghest is a wolf, its Speed
    changes to 40 feet and its jaws gain Knockdown. Each individual barghest has only
    one goblinoid form and one wolf form.
