Ravenous Corpse (Daevar)

A Daevar (the elven name for a Ravenous Corpse) is a long dead corpse possessed by a spirit from the Between. These spirits have spent so long between worlds that their sole desire is to feed when they enter Uteria.

Often they inhabit long dead and skeletal bodies, the common feature being a long pointed tongue which seems to grow from whatever rotting flesh is left on the body.

They are fast moving, and have an ability to cause the area around them to seem darker, as if ink forms in the air around it. Its claws and bite cause paralysis in most victims, which allows it to begin to feast on the flesh. It is not particular, any living being is a suitable victim to this horrific unnatural hunter.

Reaver (Baak Mor)

A large cloaked creature drifts from the night sky, its leathery wings so thin the moonlight passes through it. A head that resembled a vulture stares out from under the tattered hood. Its skin is marked with runes or tattoos, and its blank white eyes glow with a pallid life. Long fingered hands hang low to the ground, its talons lazily scrapping symbols in the ground as it watches you.

Created by Daigon(maybe) the creator. He was the dreadlord who loved to try and create. He twisted many different creatures into the Reavers.

Red Howler

A large four legged creature stalks out from the shadows. Its yellow cat like eyes glow in the dim light. Red barbs create a deadly mane and run down its slender back. The moth parts in a growl, its white teeth stark against the black gums.

Red Howlers find their way into Atheles through breaks in the veil. They prowl the dark forests and wastes near where they came through. They are 8’ in length and weight in around 800 pounds. They have no language besides the growls of hunting and mating.

Combat

A red howler will attack from surprise, catching its prey off guard and immediately howling to try and daze them.

Quills

The quills that cover the howler damage anyone who they attack or attacks them with a non reach weapon, natural weapon, or unarmed strike. The quills do 1d4 damage. If the howler is attacking, the defender only suffers the quills if the howlers attack is successful.  If someone attacks with a close weapon, they automatically get struck by the quills. Anyone struck by the quills will find them lodged into their skin. To remove the quills, it takes a DC18 survival check or another 1d4 damage will be done to the wounded.

Howl

The howler may howl as an action, which dazes any within a 15’ radius. A DC 12 Will Save will negate.

Trip

A howler often tries to trip its opponent, pulling them to the ground. They receive a +2 bonus to a trip action, and is treated as a Heroic Action using the Howlers DEX bonus. If a defender fails, they become prone that round. A howler may attack after a trip attempt, but only if it has an extra action left.
