Dretch are the most common and least powerful of all demons, being
scarcely capable of dealing with a [quasit] on =equal= terms.
Their numbers enable them to hold their own against most other minor demons,
however. Normal attack mode is a bite and two clawing attacks. In
addition to their normal attack mode, dretch can, at will, perform the
following spell-like powers, 1 per round:
    [darkness] (5-foot radius),
    [scare],
    [stinking cloud] once per day,
    [telekinese] 50# weight,
    [teleport] once per day.
A dretch may gate in a [Type I demon] (5% chance of success).

Dretch have round, rubbery bodies and thin, spindly arms and legs.
Their small heads are set squarely upon their shoulders.
Their hair is sparse and bristly, ears are lopped and stick out,
eyes are slanted downward and the nose appears squashed.
The mouth is slack and slobbering with many small fangs.
