The Nothic

Rhymes with Gothic.

A strange one eyed intelligent monster that lives in the ravine under Tresendar Manor in Phandalin. This being had a collection of corpses picked clean, and a chest at the bottom of it's dark pit. When the party showed up to clear out the Redbrands, they made a bargain for free passage and information on the redbrands, and offered to bring the creatures several corpses after the fact.
