Description
Born from the fevered nightmares of the lost, the Vile Hunter is a sinewy humanoid clad in shifting shadows. Its pallid skin is etched with writhing runes that pulse faintly in darkness. Long, talon-like fingers glisten with uncanny moisture, and its eyes burn with malefic intelligence. Silent as a falling leaf, it strikes without warning, bounding away into gloom before its victim can react.
Lore. Vile Hunters are the lowest rank of a twisted league of corrupt rogues born from nightmares. They are dispatched by darker powers to scout and terrorize mortal realms. Quick, cruel, and cunning, they vanish like a bad dream once their brutality is unleashed.
