===Encounter details===
Filro will use the the height advantage he has among the cliffs and roots to throw down debilitating spells onto intruders for the monstrosities to pick off. He favors casting {{SAI|Tasha's Hideous Laughter}} to make his enemies fall {{Cond|Prone}}, leaving them open for a Hook Horror's deadly {{SAI|Multiattack (Hook Horror)}}. Grouping up near him on the high ground can also lead to a lethal outcome if he uses his {{SAI|Thunderwave}} to knock party members off the cliff.
If the [[Bulette]] is still alive when the party begins the fight with Filro and the Hook Horrors, then it has a chance of burrowing out of the ground to join the combat. Its {{SAI|Territorial}} passive leads to it attacking the Hook Horrors before going after the party.

=== Tactics ===
Filro will use the the height advantage he has among the cliffs and roots to throw down debilitating spells onto intruders for the monstrosities to pick off. He favors to cast [[Tasha's Hideous Laughter]] to leave his enemies [[Prone (Condition)|Prone]], leaving them open for a Hook Horror's deadly [[Multiattack]]. Grouping up and position can also lead to a lethal outcome with his [[Thunderwave]] which can throw someone to their demise.
Filro has low [[Wisdom]] and [[Charisma]], making him weak to spells with such [[Saving Throw|Saving Throws]]. A well aimed {{SAI|Shove}} can also instantly kill him via fall damage or by knocking him into a chasm, though in the latter case you risk losing the {{SmRarityItem|Icy Crystal}} he carries.  


Filro has low [[Wisdom]] and [[Charisma]], making him weak to spells with such [[Saving Throw|Saving Throws]]. A well aimed [[Shove]] can also lead to an instant kill from a high fall or even into a chasm, though you risk losing the [[Icy Crystal]] he carries.  
The party can also consider not fighting the Bulette until it makes its appearance during this fight. The Bulette and Hook Horrors will deal good damage to each other, potentially weakening all of them enough for the party to kill them.


Also, if [[Glut|Sovereign Glut]] is a follower, he can use his [[Animating Spores]] ability to revive a Hook Horror as a "Spore Servant", letting you use their powerful natural abilities against the other Horrors and the insane wizard.
