Githyanki gish are a class-like archetype of githyanki NPCs encountered throughout Baldur's Gate 3. Battlemages that blend arcane spellcasting with melee combat, gish soldiers are versatile combatants.

While regular gish troops can be encountered in many places of githyanki influence, Veteran Gish githyanki can only be found during the end game scenario in Upper City.
