Nitemaehr's were created out of hatred and spite for the gods. They had one soul purpose; destroy all intelligent life in any plane. Their numbers are slim, but their strength is multiplied in numbers. The largest and strongest among them take the lead, and they lead with fear and cruelty to the weak. Naturally, they were created in the darkest of places, and fear the light, so they choose to hunt during the night. They stalk their prey to begin, only showing hints of their existence before slaughtering some livestock or children. Only once they have installed pure fear in their victims do they strike. |
