Description
“When the Akhitar would routinely dive into the icy arctic waters with nothing but a javelin, dragging killer whales to the surface to sacrifice. The god rewarded the Akhitar with the Akhlut.” - Old manuscript found in the Icect Wastelands.
Arctic Apex. The Akhlut has no natural predators. The natives of the Icect Wastelands revere them as holy beasts and nothing views a pack of Akhlut as worthwhile prey, as the potential losses far outweigh the potential gains. Akhlut are highly social, hunting in coordinated groups they can take down much larger prey, such as Whales, or deadlier foes such as Woolly Venators.
Whether on land or at sea, the Akhlut’s ability to work together to form complicated plans and execute them with minimal communication is a testament to their deific origins. Akhlut don’t attack the natives of the Icect Wastelands unless attacked first, or mad with hunger.
Chosen Companions. The natives of the Icect Wastelands are not able to tame Akhlut, but sometimes a powerful beastmaster will be chosen by an Akhlut as a companion. The process is not a safe one, as the Akhlut will test the chosen one, feigning attacks and severely wounding the unworthy.
It is not known why some Akhlut choose this partnership, most speculate that it is a god’s influence, for all natives chosen by Akhlut have gone on to fulfill notable destinies.
