Over-race: Undead

Classification: Undead

Family: Phantasm

Sphere: Destruction

Origin: Yakhut made these from the souls of the weak & dying

Lifespan: Immortal

Habitat: Rural countryside

Food: None

Description: They appear to be legless, flying versions of their former selves.

Procreation: They harvest the souls of the recently dead (as in, right off their death beds) for the flock.

Magic: None.

Special Powers: Sluagh assimilate recently dead at a 10. They roam the country side causing great destruction where they go, often uprooting trees in the woods or causing small avallanches in the mountains. They've been known to knock down the odd house, too. They're relatively harmless alone, but in groups, they move with speed & force. It is a 10 undeath power to make someone a sluagh.

Culture: They travel in a flock, floating about (mostly at night) through the countryside. If they are not harvesting new members of the flock, they are causing wanton destruction. Like poltergeists, they delight in mischief, but due to their large flocks, they tend to do more damage, despite being weaker on their own. Flocks tend to range from four to forty sluagh.

Notables: The largest flock ever came near the end of First Shem, having 1000 sluagh.

Sample statistics:
