Shi'Gal Assassin

Shi'Gal Assassins were K'Chain Che'Malle whose purpose was to guard their Matron.Forge of the High Mage, Chapter 21, UK HC p.319 They were bred for cunning and a Matron never produced more than three assassins at any one time.Dust of Dreams, Prologue, US SFBC p.30/32 Their flavours were anathema, preventing any manner of alliance. Should one of them decide that the Matron must be expunged, the remaining two, by their very natures, would oppose it. Thus, each Shi'gal warded the Matron against the others.Dust of Dreams, Prologue, US SFBC p.30
They were twice the height of a K'ell Hunter, although gaunter with retractable talons slick with neural venom and with eyes able to see the body heat of their prey.Dust of Dreams, Chapter 20, US SFBC p.798Dust of Dreams, Chapter 4, US SFBC p.158-159 They had four arms and wide, foreshortened snouts with needle-fanged mouths and nostril slits capable of picking scents off the wind.Dust of Dreams, Chapter 10, US SFBC p.366 Tough natural armour deflected smaller weapons, such as throwing daggers.Forge of the High Mage, Chapter 26, UK HC p.406 Unlike their K'ell Hunter kin, they could live more than ten centuries and potentially outlive their Matron.Dust of Dreams, Prologue, US SFBC p.32
When it was time to kill, the Shi'gal Assassin could cloud the minds of his victims.
Shi'gal Assassins were reputed to be capable of slaying Eleint.The God is Not Willing, Chapter 13, US HC p.231
