Tasloi

Tasloi are small, goblin-like creatures that, despite typically being jungle-dwellers from south Faerûn, can be found in various areas at the Sword Coast in Baldur's Gate, particularly the more forested places.
Sometimes they appear in company with other creatures, such as bears, ettercaps, spiders and all kinds of dogs and wolves, in certain areas even with ghouls (Archaeological Site), gnolls (Mutamin's Garden) or an ogrillon (Cloakwood Lodge).

* Gurke's Cloak – Getting either asked by Gurke to get his cloak back or killing the tasloi carrying it: it doesn't matter what happens first
** One in the group of nine at the Cloakwood Lodge will hold this item.
==Locations==
In all editions of the first Baldur's Gate, common tasloi may be encountered in the listed areas at several places in groups, at all times of day, and again and again.
* Optional: Candlekeep's Storage Cellars (during Obe's combat training, 5th stage)
* Archaeological Site (953.691; 4556.1035; 4205.3560; 1069.3235; 1231.2144; 2668.2165; during rest)
* Lighthouse (2578.834; 4177.1921; 2826.2791)
* Mutamin's Garden (503.1305; 3970.1822; 1024.1984; 4113.2622)
* Spider Wood (4032.704; 960.3072; 384.320)
* First Cloakwood (599.708; 3832.1836; 2637.3283; 963.1979; 2252.2753; 1028.1582; during rest)
** A specific group of nine tasloi will hardly be missed when traveling here for the first time, as they reside near the arrival point (at around 4375.3451). One of them carries Gurke's cloak. These will only be met once.
* Third Cloakwood (2458.478; 4293.383; 3956.1647; during rest)
* Fourth Cloakwood (4687.1301; 4400.2339; 3615.3174)
* Cloakwood Mines (3809.2863; 2095.2812)
==Notes==
* The tasloi that can be encountered on the Sword Coast are usually male.
* In common lore, tasloi are regarded as their own race (see the linked article further below). As per game mechanics, however, Baldur's Gate's tasloi are handled as if they were kobolds.
** Technically this can be explained by both creatures using similar animation sequences; this also applies to xvarts.
* Obe's summonings yield neither item nor experience.
* Unused references: TASLOI02.cre and TASLOI03.cre aren't used by the game.
==Trivia==
* The offical website for the original game, now archived, had – in addition to some combat-related statistics – the following information about these creatures:Tasloi are long-legged, flat-headed humanoids. They walk in a crouching posture, touching their knuckles to the ground from time to time. Their skins are a lustrous green and are thinly covered with coarse black hair. Their eyes are similar to a cat's and are gold in color.Often they can be heard at night, speaking in their high, whispery voices.The size was given as two to three feet tall.
