Description
The Apex is an abomination, mutated by dark magic and unnatural experimentation. What creature it started out as is more or less unknown, but it has since taken on the forms of many different beasts and monsters. It's current shape is that of a grizzly, werewolf-like, bipedal beast with tufts of dark fur and leathery skin. It is faster than one would ever believe a thing of that size would be, and far stronger than any other beast you would encounter in the darkness of the forests.
