Essence reavers are feared predators that hunt sources of psionic or magical power. They are native to the continent of Sarlona . [1]
Description
Essence reavers resemble a black dragon without wings, but with white eyes and a long whip-like tail tipped with a glowing membrane spike. [1]
Behavior
Essence reavers are apex predators who prey on anything that moves, but are particularly interested in spellcasters, wielders of psionics, and items of magical or psionic power. They prefer hunting alone but in areas with high levels of magical or psionic power they may gather to form a small hunting pack. [1]
Abilities
Essence reavers have the ability to drain magical power from people and items and use those powers themselves. [1]
History
While most aberrations that once roamed Sarlona have been hunted to extinction by the Inspired of Riedra , essence reavers have managed to survive. They are kept around because they tend to inhabit more remote areas and they are useful in hunting down rogue magic users. It is rumored that the Inspired have attempted to introduce them into Adar , but their tendency to kill anything that moves has made relocating them difficult. [1]
