Vazalkyon

Vazalkyons are a race of monstrous humanoids , connected to elemental cold, that are closely related to phoelarches . [1]

Description

These humanoids are generally slender and stand taller than humans , on average reaching heights of 6​ to ​6.5 feet (1.8​ to ​2 meters) and weighing around 180 pounds (82 kilograms). They have pale blue skin. Brilliant silvery-white feathers line their jaw, as well as the backs of their arms and legs. Much thicker feathers grow on their heads in place of hair. And their eyes have a slight glow to them. [1]

When engaging enemies in combat, they often wear studded leather armor. [1]

Abilities

Vazalkyons are impervious to harm from cold-based spells or abilities, their bodies instead being healed by them. However, they are vulnerable to fire-based spells and abilities. They are also immune to most diseases and poisons. [1]

Vazalkyons are harmfully cold to the touch. [1]

When killed, a vazalkyon explodes in a flurry of cold. In the wake of their death, only a pile of slushy ice is left behind, along with a chrysalis in the form of a small, black glass egg roughly 6 inches (0.15 meters) across. These eggs radiate a faint transmutation magic , but otherwise have no magical properties. A vazalkyon cannot be raised by any means, though their slushy ice and chrysalis can be used to resurrect them. Casting gentle repose or a similar spell on their chrysalis stops it from hatching. Otherwise, after 24 hours have passed, the egg hatches and a fully grown vazalka emerges. This vazalka is an entirely new creature, possessing none of the vazalkyon's memories. Once hatched, the only way to bring the previous vazalka back to life is by using the spells miracle or wish in conjunction with some resurrection effect. [1]

Combat

Vazalkyons are deadly combatants, whether fighting from a distance or in close-quarters. They typically fight with their spell-like abilities and falchions. Vazalkyons generally prefer to rely upon their spell-like abilities in combat. [1]
