An otyugh ("OH-tyoo") or '''gulguthra''' is a fictional monster featured in several popular games, though it originated as one of Gary Gygax's creations in Dungeons And Dragons . An otygugh has a huge, bloated body covered with a rock-like skin that is brownish gray in color, which is in turn covered with dung. Its three thick legs give an otyugh slow ground movement but enables it to pivot quickly. With three eyes on a leaf-like stalk that moves quickly from side to side, it can quickly scan a large area. An otyugh's primary means of attack is by two long tentacles which are laden with bony thorn-like ridges. Even more fearsome then the otyugh is the neo-otyugh, a larger, more ferocious species of otyugh, which has some psionic powers as well as a bite which can lead to super-tetanus. OTYUGH IN FINAL FANTASY Otyugh-like monsters appear as common enemies in the Final Fantasy series.
While the name is usually rendered as "Ochu" in the translated English versions of the games, it is likely that the Japanese name オチュー was always intended to be the phonetic equivalent of Otyugh. REFERENCES
