The mglak are horrific creatures that came from ghoul and ghast stock but evolved with the thick fog and mist that comes into the harbors, ports and forests of the great island empire of Phoenicia. Their horrific appearance is said to first resemble two glowing ghostly blue orbs that dance in parallel harmony together as they follow you through the mist. When the mglak reveals itself to its prey it stands at a surprisingly gaunt height with great sickle claws and a fanged maw. |
