Created of both necromancy and elemental magic, a windhusk can only be created from a humanoid that died of choking or suffocation. As if still experiencing such a death, a windhusk perpetually wheezes and gasps for air, though it need not breathe. Its lungs have enlarged and strengthened grotesquely, giving it a broad-chested look. Its glassy eyes are clouded in a way that resembles a stormy sky. The smell of rot entering and leaving a windhusk's lungs repeatedly creates an invisible aura of stench around it. Windhusks can exhale violent winds to blast foes around the battlefield or as a result of their swollen lungs being struck. Undead Nature. A windhusk doesn't require air, food, drink, or sleep. |
