Description

Description
When a gnoll gains the attention of Akata, for good or ill,
Akata infuses the creature with demonic power. The process
destroys the gnoll’s mind but the “blessing” gives it power and
ferocity beyond that of any common gnoll. The Claws dreams
are visions from the Abyss and its waking hours are spent
making those visions real.
Tactics
Claws of Akata charge headlong into battle, shrugging off
curtains of arrows in order to get their claws into the ones
behind the bows. They attack anything alive and will
eviscerate a gnoll just because it is in the way of an enemy.
They look for the largest and meanest thing on the battlefield
to prove their worth to Akata and fight to the death, either to
be reunited with Akata in the afterlife or to gain the release of
death and end their suffering.
