Blood Beast
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.
Blood Beast
Horrifying fiends that resemble felines, Blood Beasts stalk the jungles of Ogshora looking for any creature that might have wandered astray. Some Blood Beasts have coarse red or black fur, but most are hairless.
