Gurax

[Back to creatures]

Fiends of Sanguineth

Sanguineth houses a brutal, sweltering jungle known as Ogshora, which both grows and decays at an unnerving pace. None can take the same path between strongholds multiple times, as the jungle changes too rapidly for roads to be established. Within Ogshora, rivers of blood flow between fleshy tumorous growths vaguely reminiscent of mangroves. The fiends of this domain relish in emotion, be it rage, envy, or lust, and do little to curb their voracious desires besides indulge in horrific excess as they hunt through the claustrophobic foliage, which can be just as deadly as the fiends themselves.

Gurax

The Gurax are swarming avian predators found in the flesh trees of Ogshora. These winged creatures perch on spindly, taloned legs, and would look like a malicious hawk if not for their heads that more closely resemble hairless howler monkeys. Their body and bat-like wings are covered in reptilian scales that shimmer with garish colors shifting to the Gurax’s mood. Their long, leathery tail curls about the branches on which they perch, or around the throats of their unfortunate prey
