The official GemStone IV encyclopedia.
The pyrothag is a huge creature, towering over the tallest of giantmen. Scorched black by the heat of its environment, its thick skin protects it from blows and the hostile lava flows. The most striking thing aside from its size, is the lack of facial features. A smooth face matching its smooth black skin leaves one wondering how such a thing could have evolved.

Other information
Their massive glaes club is a modified quarterstaff and weighs approximately 95 lbs.
If their club attack misses you, there is a chance it will strike the ground sending shards flying at every player in the room. These shards are dodgeable, but are potentially lethal if they hit you.
