Ankou

CR 14.00 Fey LE Large

Cloaked by wings of darkness, this horrific, skeletal creature appears to burn from within.

Description

Ankous are assassins for powerful fey nobles, sent to kill, terrify, and torture. They never speak, only telepathically whisper their lord's verdict to victims. A typical ankou is 10 feet tall and has an 8-foot wingspan, but weighs less than 100 pounds.
