Once normal animals, the pishacha have been twisted with dark magic. There are four common forms of pishacha: a tiger, an elephant, a crocodile, and a whale. In battle, pishacha must be controlled directly by powerful magic users, typically those that created them in the first place. A pishacha's monstrous appearance and enhanced abilities do not disappear when this connection is lost, however, their mind returns to that of their base animal. In the case of whales, their souls have been combined with those of battle elephants, becoming one of the most dangerous creatures to walk the land. Often referred to as the legendary Makara, it is both a powerful naval unit and an unstoppable siege engine. |
