Kazgaroth Kazgaroth ( sometimes Kazgoroth ) was an aspect of Malar , who was a powerful , intelligent , evil beast opposed to the balance and the influence of the Earthmother on the Moonshae Isles . It would periodically ravage the land until it was defeated , only to return several years later . Kazgaroth ' s natural form was of a huge " Tyrannosaurus rex " , but it could shape - change to other forms , including those of people whom it might kill and devour before impersonating . . It served Bhaal , corrupting the eponymous moonwell , enabling his avatar to enter the Moonshaes . Activities . Kazgaroth took several guises . The first few were a cow , which attracted a bit too much attention , and a woman named Meridith , who drew too much attention because Kazgaroth used its powers to make the body of the latter guise more attractive . His first victim was a man named Erian who was a guard for the prince Tristan Kendrick of the Moonshaes . Afterwards , he changed into a dryad in order to lure Trahern of Oakvale . His next victim was Thelgaar Ironhand , king of Oman ' s Isle , of whom he took the identity so he could command the army of northerners in the attack of the southern Moonshae Isles , mainly the city of Caer Corwell . Appendix . Identity Controversy . Niles ' own sourcebook , Moonshae ( 1987 ) , describes Kazgaroth as an " aspect of Malar " , which agrees with many of Kazgaroth ' s properties , including the ability to spread lycanthropy and its strong opposition to druidic balance , but almost all later works identify Kazgaroth as an avatar or minion of Bhaal . Given that Malar was subservient to Bhaal it is not impossible that both claims are true . Hall of Heroes ( 1989 ) refers to Bhaal knowing the goals of " his avatar , Kazgaroth . " However , the use of the word " avatar " would seems to mean " agent " here , as the rest of the text suggests that Kazgaroth is an independent being with its own goals ( which Bhaal happens to know of ) . Heroes ' Lorebook ( 1996 ) , refers to Kazgaroth as a " manifestation of Bhaal ' s influence " but also refers to them as separate entities . Villains ' Lorebook ( 1998 ) , refers to Kazgaroth as a " minion of Bhaal . "

One creature could imbibe a dose of " water of Eldath " by sipping for one minute , giving over a hundred creatures the benefit of this potion . However , if any attempt was made to capture the magical waters in flasks , potion bottles , leather wine skins , " etc . " , only about a half - dozen or so containers the size of the caster ' s two hands put together could be filled before the spring ran dry . Purify a spring . This spell could be used to purify an existing spring such that all pollutants , poisons , taints , waterborne diseases , corrosives , and monster secretions were permanently removed . Any aquatic monster with a fluid - based attack could not use it within 70 ft ( 21 m ) of the center of the spell for an entire year . Additionally , the target spring became transparent as glass to the caster , with no distortion or dimness in the depths . If light was available , the caster could examine the stream bed , aquatic life , or submerged objects . Invisible creatures in the water were visible to the caster even if they were creatures such as water weird s or water elemental s . Teleport to a spring . While standing on the banks of a spring , " spring mastery " could be used to transport the caster and all nonliving belongings being worn or carried to the nearest intersection with another watercourse , either upstream or downstream from his or her current position . The caster did not need to have prior knowledge of the destination . This spell could also be used to teleport from the banks of one spring to the banks of any other spring in Faerûn previously visited by and familiar to the caster , above ground or subterranean . Components . In addition to verbal and somatic components , this spell required three drops of water blessed by Eldath herself , one of her servitors , or one of her high - ranking priests ( known as an Exalted of Eldath ) . These blessed drops were poured on the ground where a spring was desired to form , poured into an existing spring for purification , or poured into the hand of the caster for teleportation .

Some animals that grew large teeth or tusks were behemoth , boar , elephant , hippopotamus , mammoth , narwhal , umber hulk , walrus , and the cachalot whale . Larger specimens were used for carving while smaller pieces were used for buttons or ornamentation on clothing , accouterments , and even buildings .

Carved and polished ivory items had a base value of 10 gp . Fossilized ivory was found in small quantities , being the result of prehistoric elephant , mastodon , and smilodon teeth being buried for millennia , causing parts of its structure to be replaced by minerals . Because it was not soft enough to carve , there was not much of a market for fossilized ivory . Powers . Ivory from common animals had no known magical properties .

Note that unicorn horns only resembled ivory in coloration and were not true ivory , since they were not teeth .
