Soulblight Gravelords – Vargskyr
8" 8 5+ 1 Not all of those who were bitten by Radukar the Wolf and his kin were destined to rise anew as true vampires. Some proved unable to control the bestial curse that seeped into their veins, devolving into the blood-hungry beasts known as Vargskyrs. Their flesh split apart, their bones cracked and expanded agonisingly, and thick, wiry fur sprouted along their flanks. Three times the height of a mortal human, the Vargskyrs were corded with lithe strength – the manifestation of the ancient Vyrkos bloodline. The citizens of Ulfenkarn dreaded them above all, for they knew that Vargskyrs liked to toy with their prey.
Though most were thought to have perished during the fall of the Cursed City, there have been sightings of Vargskyrs in Shyish and even further abroad, preying upon mortals. They are capable of wrenching a human’s head from their shoulders with a single twist, and when they fall to all fours and pursue their prey, few creatures in all the realms can outrun them. Vargskyrs are also possessed of cunning befitting their predatory nature; they will stalk a victim patiently, sometimes for many hours, before falling upon them in a frenzy of slashing claws and tearing fangs. | ||
