Tharantal (Silent Deceiver)
The Heritor Lords of the Epoch of Wonders applied their sciences to beget many strange creatures, like the shapeshifting tharantal, whom they employed as spies and assassins. Standing 7' tall, the tharantal's natural form is that of a spindly, pale-skinned humanoid with a single eye. In the present cycle, sorcerers and potentates sometimes enlist them and independent bands of them dwell in secluded locales, including, it is said, the Vaults.

More lovely artwork for this project. Quite effectively creepy looking.
ReplyDeletePretty darn scary in a fight, too. Hits pretty hard with twin attacks and if it has time to keep shifting forms and healing it's got something like 48 EHP per day. That's tanky by OSE standards, but if the players can keep the pressure on it the healing can be taken out of the equation.
Shapeshifters. Why did it have to be shapeshifters...
