Slayer

The Slayer was one of the avatars of Bhaal, the Lord of Murder.
==Name==
The Slayer was called "duk-tak" (unholy executioner) and "elgg-hor" (destroyer) in drow language.This information could be revealed if Minthara Baenre was a companion of the Dark Urge in Baldur's Gate III.
==Description==
The Slayer resembled a massive corpse with a feral face, pale white skin and gaping wounds that continuously wept dark ichor.
While Bhaal rarely took avatar form in the Realms, he preferred his Slayer form when appearing in urban environments.
==Possessions==
The Slayer kept an impressive array of bone-hewn daggers upon his person, and could readily conjure them out of nothingness. It could also animate up to a half dozen of these daggers at will, after which they would independently strike out at a victim of its choosing.
Any mortal wounded by one of the Slayer's bone daggers would see their appendage wither away off their body. Anyone slain by the weapons could―as the Slayer wished―be raised as a zombie. It could then be detonated at the Slayer's will, exploding in a mass of bone shards and viscera. Any undead creature animated by the Slayer had to follow its every command.
==Powers==
The Slayer moved in complete silence, with the ability to levitate and even walk through air.
It also had the ability to incite attraction in others, and remove any negative feelings they felt, or compel an urge to slay in any intentionally malevolent being, whenever it chose.
If needed, the avatar could defend itself by manifesting a blade barrier of bone shards that surrounded its physical form.
==History==
A lesser form of the Slayer appeared in Faerûn during the Avatar Crisis, in the , alongside avatars of other gods of the Realms. When that avatar was slain, the essence of Bhaal possessed the mortal man Kae Deverell,, before being slain by the mortal Cyric wielding Godsbane, and forever tainting the waters of the Winding Water beyond the Boareskyr Bridge.
