Beasts of Eirethune

== The Beasts ==
What follows are some of the strange creatures and beings that may inhabit Eirethune. Some of these creatures may normally be found on different planes of existence, but with the frequency of rifts between Eirethune and other worlds and dimensions, these beings can dwell somewhere on the material plane as well.
----
=== Asthikada ===
The Asthikada is a creature made of different worlds.  It has a head of an undead priest and mage and the body of a black and red worm.  It is created when a great warlock, wizard or cleric attempts to be converted to a lich-like status through a patron or deity, but the patron denies them the privilege. Instead, the being is transformed into this worm-like undead creature, typically, though not in all cases, bound to a location of the patron's choosing.
The skin is bits of flesh from other undead creatures, painted in blood, washed with black ichor that shambles about. The Asthikada has no arms or legs.  There are, however, bits of enchanted bone which move around it at erratic frequencies.

=== Azgwad ===
A horror of various appendages,, the Azgwad is a mistake if anything.  Often thrown into worlds to create chaos, using mystical rays from its several eye stalks upon its enemies before lashing them with their tentacles and throwing the victims into its giant maw.  There is nothing kind about the Azgwad.  It is best destroyed before it can do anymore harm.

=== Biborg ===
Hobbling behemoth of a man that smells like death is truly a bringer of disease, a lesser devil working for the earls and dukes to bring lingering decay on the living world.  Horrific stench always accompanies the large, scabbed, bloody man beast, wet with sweat and boils covering their body.

=== Borddan ===
Amidst the jagged remnants of shattered weapons and crumbling armor, the fallen lie in eternal repose, their bodies preserved by the unyielding cold. Their faces, frozen in expressions of agony and defiance, bear witness to the horrors of war. Yet, despite the passage of centuries, there is a palpable sense of unrest that lingers in the icy air. For beneath the snow-covered earth, the souls of the fallen stir fitfully, their restless spirits bound to the mortal realm by ancient sorcery or unfulfilled vendettas.
And so, as the pale light of the moon casts an ethereal glow upon the desolate landscape, the dead begin to stir. With eyes that gleam like frozen stars, they rise from their icy tombs, their spectral forms wreathed in an eerie luminescence.
In desolate battlefields, typically in those frozen for eons, where there had been just a pile of bone, bits of fabric and perhaps a piece of weapon, the Borddan arises in a round or 4 to become something new, made from the death of others, ready to bring the living to its sorry realm.  The Borddan are created from a collection of failed warriors who seek vengeance and, most of all, more time.  Something they will never have in the form of their previous incarnations.

=== Deedrotch ===
The Deedrotch wanders the twilight and night hours, seeking out those he can manipulate, tease and consume.  The large humanoid tentacled beast moves on all fours with large webbed claws and can move much more quickly than most believe they could.
They are necrotic fiends, even though they are often mistaken for Illithids at a distance, yet they have little in common.    Deedrotch rise from the mists and decay of the material world and seek to spread the decay and destruction wherever they go.

=== Eeklok ===
Eekloks are fiendish aberrations which thrive in the horrible spaces that bridge worlds. When placed into a material dimension by some fiendish patron, the Eekloks are found mostly in the deepest caverns and dungeons, prior to an adventurer's crossing into another world. They burrow through most anything with great speed, and then spring upon their prey by sending out their tongue and drawing their victims into their maw. They have so many claws, varying from 6 to 20 or more, to attack foes nearby, but they also have a beam of power which they can send out to damage distant foes as well.
The stat block below reflects an Eeklok with 8 arms. 4 for moving and digging and another 4 for clawing their foes.

=== Fadroosh ===
The Fadroosh appears as a floating humanoid skeleton with fire burgeoning in its chest.  It has a large single bone eye socket where its head should be.   They are created from the dead foes of fiery demon lords, almost constructs, but truly just another abomination of fiend-kind. When in combat, they use a tremendous fiery blast , but as they were constructed from tortured souls of various dead foes, the Fadroosh also has a punishing Ancestral Scream which they can bring to bear.

=== Fendweir ===
The Fendweir is an evil which inhabits a space, waiting for more death and evil to arise. When enough evil is present in the deaths of many, this malevolent spirit builds itself from the bones of the dead; manifesting itself into a strange star like face with a huge maw and 2 deep eyes.  When it moves, it sounds like shambling bone and stone.  There is also a wind-like moan that accompanies it until it finds a prey.

=== Foodradj ===
These are lesser demons who serve as guardians and responsible for protecting a larger space.  They move quite quickly and can jump long distances, making them solid choices for sentries needing to watch over large areas of difficult terrain.  These opalescent creatures have massive claws and a huge maw filled with teeth.  The entire body is covered in serrated thorns that they can manipulate at will. They also have control over certain aspects of gravity.
----
=== Goblin Dog ===
The Goblin Dog is a strange species of dog that appears like a wet, matted black and yellow dog. Saliva and bile continue to drop from the hound's mouth which makes it a disgusting site. The worst feature of the goblin dog, however, is its stench. There is some enzyme or hormone that the goblin dog exudes which is allergic to most humanoids. One notable exception, however, is goblin-kind.

=== Gorkahn ===
The Gorkahn is a lesser devil grown from the remains of lawful evil clerics or anti-paladins through the graces of a Duke or Earl of Devils.  The Gorkahn appears as a smoky suit of armor with a red glow from within.  The Gorkahn swings a mace thurible that sends caustic smoke out around him.

=== Gyrgogg ===
Gyrgoggs are constructs made of elemental energies.  Through horrific unnatural rites, these creatures are created, almost as golems, to do the anti-druid's bidding. 
Out of the floor or ceiling, the Gyrgogg will emerge like a humanoid made of liquid stone.  Their face is humanoid with sockets and a mouth.  They do not speak, but you can hear a deep rumbling sound when nearby.

=== Haroorahk ===
Haroorahk is an ancient shade of a species of tree beings.  They descended from a great line of ents at the beginning of time, flourishing in their youth.  But as they grew strong and spread out, they found their way into a rift of life and darkness.
Now they exist without comprehension of what they were.  They are only the hunger and pain that they suffered and now seek out non-plant life to destroy.

----
=== Hazjareel ===
Hazjareel is born out of the hate for those destroying the forested realms.  It is mostly a spirit created from the dead plants in once rich old forests, jungles, and swamps, rising up due to an influx of magic near some atrocity against plant life. They are no longer plants per se, but instruments of hate and destruction, bound more towards the elimination of anything they seem to find unworthy.
Hazjareel is a massive hulk bursting with thorny vines and limbs, with red fiery eyes atop the trunk.  It lumbers through the wood and marsh looking for intruders who care nothing for plant life, spreading decay upon them for the decomposers to relish.
----
=== Hokanahn ===
The Hokanahn appears as a half-shade humanoid emerging from a black and grey cloud.  Black leaves and flames drip from them at all times, although they can be difficult to see.  The Hokanahn appears to be wearing some sort of spiked armor, but it is only its own natural exoskeleton.  A creature from the darkest shades of pestilence, it wanders the living world to spread its filth and horror to those not aware of what they are missing.
The Hokanahn is a type of fiend; commonly a mutation of some semi-magical hero who encountered a demon lord at just the wrong time.

=== Keepers of Balance ===
The Keeper of Balance is a strange otherworldly neutral being which wanders the planes, seeking places of past or current conflict. When they find such a place, they create pillars of Radiance and Necrosis as they slowly move about, casting grey smoky, shadows upon whatever realm they enter. They rarely communicate and truly never stop. Rather, they move in their own shadows, continuously dropping symbols of Dark and Light wherever they go. They tend to only leave an area of conflict when they have covered a suitable amount of space from their perception. No one knows what created the Keepers of Balance, but even when they are vanquished, they rise from a different area of conflict, continuing their search again.

=== Khaluub ===
The Khaluub are demonic constructs, produced from hate and fire by fiend nobility.  They are problematic as they embody chaos, so they care little for other demons, including those that might construct them.  
They appear as tall, sinewy yet almost metallic humanoid with no discernable face. Their heads have a rift on top, lined with small horns, with fires emerging from the rift..  The body has cracks revealing more fire within. The arms are muscled ending in great hands with claws at the end.

=== Leraie ===
Lesser demon lords who appear as a strange mix of demon, bone and humanoid.  They use a massive bone bow to blast foes at a distance.  The Leraie are also known to have a massive roar which can disrupt battle plans around them.  They care little for anything or anyone, including other fiends. The bone bow is said to be enchanted with the souls that the Leraie enjoyed tormenting the most.

=== Light of An'Zhu ===
A strange gesture of light in a vaguely humanoid form.  They move quickly but with elegance, speed and grace, and without a sound.  You feel a strong pulling to get closer to the form and to follow in their strange movements. When still, they seem almost life-like, but as they move faster and faster, their form becomes more abstract.
The Light of An'Zhu is a minion of She Unspoken, the goddess An'Zhu. The Light of An'Zhu has no real attacks other than to pull people away from their paths and exhaust them somewhere far from where they started. They are trans-dimensional horrors that embody the chaos and pathos that exude from She Unspoken.
The Light of An'Zhu is almost always paired with their sister, the Sound of An'zhu, during an encounter.

=== Manifestation of An'Zhu ===
This is a lesser manifestation of the supremely chaotic, world and plane destructive deity known as She Unspoken. People dare not even utter the name An'Zhu as it gives the deity power through simple acknowledgement, which elevates An'Zhu's power in the world or plane. No one worships An'Zhu as it would more than likely mean their destruction. 
The Manifestation is somewhat of a messenger of the deity, sent to see whether someone is worthy of creating chaos on the plane in question by destroying the manifestation. The core of An'Zhu is never fought, but She Unspoken will send these manifestations out to challenge those mortals full of hubris, and to let them know that by having conflict with her minions, it gives An'Zhu more power since the champions' focus is proof that they acknowledge An'Zhu's presence and power.

=== Monglork ===
The Monglork is an amalgam of bodies that are merged together into a horrible demonic monstrosity.  When a greater demon or lord has tired of tormenting their victims, they sometimes construct Monglorks out of these victims, to do their bidding as a horrible wretched mess of body parts. Blood and bile pour out of the numerous orafices of the Monglork creating a terrible smell and caustic mess.

=== Morghoul ===
The Morghoul are heinous cousins of the ghasts and ghouls, focused on rising from hidden places to cause plague and destruction on the living when the time is right. They are shadowy more amorphous versions of their cousins, being difficult to perceive or to target. The rituals for creating morghouls is not well-known, which is good for the living. When a victim succumbs to a Morghoul, these horrific creatures will feast on their remains, leaving nothing but bits of bone behind.

=== Nygroth ===
The Nygroth is an aberration created by some demon lords to pick elements of failed subjects and turn them into the disgusting worms that they are.  The vague trace of humanity might be present in the form, but most of the Nygroth is wrinkled skin barely holding on to a skeleton and a worm's body.  They have a spiked tail, but their most feared method of attack is when they break their skull open and stare into the soul of their victims.  They also leave a trail of acid and disgust wherever they travel.

=== Sarzuur ===
The Sarzuur is a lesser devil which bridges demon and devil kind.  They are rarely seen alone, although they can be summoned with other Sarzuur.  They have the power to transfer life between creatures, typically taking from the Sarzuur's foes and giving it to the Sarzuur's allies.  When attacked, they burst into flames, leaving the battlefield in which they are present smoldering and burning.
The Sarzuur appears as an opaque black vaguely feminine humanoid form.  A fiery red crown rides a few inches about its head and smoke and sulfur emanate from its body.

=== Shade Folk ===
The Shade Folk are a mythological being that supposedly exists in Eirethune, or at least on some plane or another. The Shade Folk are semi-corporeal and rarely pay attention to any creature outside of their realm.  They appear as translucent humans or elves, who can float, fly and disappear from sight at will. Some believe them to be undead, but it is more likely that they just live between planes of existence, although they are most aligned to the physical plane of Eirethune. No one in recent times has ever encountered the Shade Folk. Elvenkind believe them to be real, but hidden, like the Fey; yet other peoples believe them to be completely fictional - creatures created as part of ancient stories to color the narrative, rather than actual beings that could have existed. 
More information on the Shade Folk can be found here: First Age#Shade Folk
The following stat block is for a level 5 Shade Folk. There are possibly much stronger Shade Folk, should they even exist.

=== Sound of An'Zhu ===
From a distance you hear a strange mish-mash of sounds.  Thundering, quickly landing footsteps, bells chiming at different pitches, shrieks and harrowing groaning sounds...but when you look, you see a strange white and blue humanoid figure staring back, moving freely, but drawing you towards them....
When they do move, the sounds intensify, but fortunately the intensity does not last long.
The Sound of An'Zhu is a minion of She Unspoken, the goddess An'Zhu. The Sound of An'Zhu has no real attacks other than to use their constant thrumming to pull people away from their paths and exhaust them somewhere far from where they started. They are trans-dimensional horrors that embody the chaos and pathos that exude from She Unspoken.
The Sound of An'Zhu is almost always paired with their sister, the Light of An'zhu, during an encounter.

=== Uthkarar ===
The great towering fiendish beast that is Uthkarar came from a land between the earth and dark planes.  Standing tall and covered in spikes, Uthkarar stinks of soot and sulfur, but the most frightening aspect of the Uthkarar are its massive claws, spikes and teeth. It stands scores of feet into the air with its body covered in spikes, each as long as a normal humanoid. A massive beast that many would prefer to avoid. Greater demon lords and devils sometimes send Uthkarar to disrupt locations which were found to be somewhat annoying. A being of chaos and destruction, and although they can be destroyed with concerted effort, the Uthkarar will often leave a trail of destruction wherever they go.

=== Visage of Uthargot ===
The Visage is created through the unwilling sacrifice of an arcane or divine adept in a ritual honoring the glory of the fiendish Duke known as Uthargot, or The Unraveler. The life force of the adept is strangled in the ritual by the otherworldly horrific power of Uthargot's minions. As the life force of the adept is removed, the destructive and hateful psyche of Uthargot takes over the mind of the husk that was the adept. The Visage of Uthargot appears as a blackened humanoid, covered in mystical runes and almost always wearing a black tattered cloak. Their eyes glow and their face is carved with tattoos of magic and destruction. The creatures can fly and move between planes, as well as unleash powerful necrotic attacks.
When the Visage dies, it transforms back into the creature that was sacrificed to create it. Unfortunately, the dead creature is without most of what made it what it was, having been horrifically drawn apart by the ritual process.
The following is a stat block for a level 9 Visage of Uthargot. Different level Visages have been encountered by the unfortunate.
