The Barghest, a telepathic magical dimension-hopping fiendish goblinoid werewolf! Magic in the form of minor mind manipulation, minor teleportation, and levitation! They START as your standard 3-4 foot goblin, being able to switch to a wolf form, or goblin-wolf form at will. As they consume powerful souls, they keep growing! Usually they go back to thier native plane of Ghenna (land between Hell and Hades) after they become "Greater Barghest," a 6 foot tall goblin that turns into a Dire Wolf. But they can stick around and keep growing, once one needed a mountain carved out for its den! In 5e they're cunning and tricky, hiding amongst goblins looking to take out strong ones with sudden force, then getting away before people figure out they're not a normal goblin.
Look, I allow myself to be biased with goblins, and I love these things, even if 5e really fucked them over imo. Screw this "yugoloths made them to hunt goblin leaders as revenge on the goblin's oppressor" garbage. Barghest versions existed with any goblinoid, and they were the original natives of Gehenna. They're dumped into the material plane as kids because it's FAR safer, only coming back once they've eaten enough souls to unlock their plane shifting powers because they need that strength. They didn't used to be sneaky goblin traitors, they were were rulers! Their eyes would glow when excited, they turned blue as they grew, and had unusual traits like a streak of white in their hair or different eye colors! Maybe it's just my extreme bias against what they did with goblinoid lore in general in 5e though. Still, Barghests are cool no matter what they change the lore to.

I think any female character can be improved by giving them Aya Brea’s outfit (Leather Jacket, White Shirt, and Jeans) as a casual outfit.
Sometimes the shirt is optional!
^ Imagine Barghest but in this.
