Change Shape. The barghest polymorphs into a Small goblin. It
statistics do not change except for its size, and any equipment it carries is not transformed. It reverts to fiendish wolf form when dropped to 0 hit points.
Spellcasting (Goblin Form Only). The barghest is a 7th-level
spellcaster that uses Intelligence as its spellcasting ability (spell save DC 12). It needs to use only somatic and verbal components to cast its spells. The barghest knows the following spells:
At Will—levitate, misdirection 1/Day Each—dimension door
Reactions
Devour Body and Soul. When the barghest kills a humanoid
creature, it begins gorging on the creature’s body. It feeds until the end of its next turn, whereupon it also swallows the creature’s soul and traps it in its gullet. If the barghest is wounded before it can finish gorging, it loses the soul and gains no benefits.
When the barghest traps a soul, its current and maximum hit points both increase by 10 for 24 hours. These benefits are cumulative with multiple gorgings, up to a maximum increase of 60 hit points. After 24 hours, a trapped soul is completely consumed, and the barghest’s maximum hit points decrease by 10. A creature killed by the barghest cannot be raised from the dead as long as its soul is trapped in the barghest’s gullet. A creature whose soul is completely consumed by the barghest cannot be raised or resurrected by any means. If the barghest dies, any undigested souls in its gullet are released.

Petrifying Gaze. Each creature that starts its turn within 30 feet
of and able to see the basilisk’s eyes must either make a DC 11 Constitution saving throw against petrification or, unless surprised, avert its own eyes. Until the start of its next turn, a creature that averts its eyes has disadvantage on attack rolls against the basilisk. On a failed save, the creature is restrained and begins to turn to stone. While restrained in this way, a creature must repeat the saving throw at the end of its next turn, becoming permanently petrified on a failure or ending the effect on a success.
A petrified creature is stunned and has resistance to all damage. If it is physically broken or damaged while petrified, the creature suffers from similar damage or deformities when it reverts to its normal state.
If it sees its own eyes reflected on a polished surface that’s within 30 feet of it and in an area of bright light, the basilisk can be affected by its own gaze.
