Description

Castigators are horrific abominations that have tormented the world ever since it was created. Reminiscent of a cross between humans and centipedes, castigators can be found in the more tenebrous corners of the world, where they prey for food with their spider-like stature.

Terrifying to behold. A castigator can grow up to be ten feet long, with an endless torrent of arms sprouting from either side of its body. In middle of its "torso" there is a gaping chasm that has many eel-like, toothy maws that it uses to feed on the blood of its victims.

Unknown creators. Castigators, while definetly not natural beings, have not been identified by any nation or aberration. Nor fiends nor celestials see them as their creation and the time when castigators were first seen, no great mages hailed the lands. Now, they are as low as beasts serving no obvious purpose other than to feed.
