- Grotesque monsters that are said to ascend from the realms of Vakmatharas to take back those who would stray from their destined paths. Creatures the size and shape of hippos with reptilian maws shaped like that of a crocodile. Despite their great size, they function well as ambush predators, their dark leathery flesh reflecting almost no light, and seeming to require neither air nor sustenance to persist. Any being who agitates one of these creatures puts themselves at great peril, for they will defend themselves with great malice and hook-clawed forepaws not unlike a dragons. But their prey is not the living. Undead roam the continents of Lithrydel, cold bodies that are owed to the underworld. When they prove unwilling or unable to reach their ultimate destinations, an ammut may appear to assist in their delivery. Vampires, zombies, liches beware.
Some have even known to be adorned in what appears to be ceremonial armor. Bands of celestial bronze shackling their limbs and coating their teeth lending them the power to break curses and sever tethers that bind beings to the material existence past their time. After being shredded and rent by the talons and flesh, the released are then consumed, where it is hypothesized that rather than being digested, the undead are transported directly to their final resting place in Vakmatharas's domain.
They are most often seen in Vailkrin, though they aren't a common sight. It seems that they're predominantly tasked with bringing low those undead who repeatedly evade their final peace, often to the point of flaunting their abominable existence. Especially devout members of the Vakmatharas clergy have also been known to be capable of summoning them, seemingly at will. In such a case where their common Lord's trust has been so placed in the summoner, they will obey their commands, even to the point of becoming a steed.
