Homebrew Enoron Skurgalesh Species Details

There are places all through the realms, such as Uraexas, that are haunted by lingering spirits of those passed. Skurgalesh  are those who have had their very essence touched by these spirits and have been transformed by having that bit of themselves torn between The Material Plane and The Umbral. This transformation is obvious in their mostly clear, greyish flesh that shows the pumping veins and strands of muscle that lie beneath. The Skurgalesh  have rounded ears, white hair, and yellow tinted eyes, while keeping all the other physical attributes of their ancestral species. However, the Skurgalesh  also gain traits such as longer lives, ethereal sight, and darkvision that may not be traditional to their species.

While some Skurgalesh  are born, having been touched in the womb, most are transformed later in life. Many Umbralesh seek a life of adventuring, feeling cast out in normal society or treated harshly, and hope to find some sort of cure.

Ghost Touched

The creation of is unintentional and never motivated. While it is widely not understood how it happens at all, there are beliefs that some are born with a spark of The Umbral in their blood and those few are prone to being transformed if they come in to contact with a spirit. This being said, there seem to be certain other circumstances required that aren’t understood either. The creation of Skurgalesh  is confusing, and to most, extremely frightening.
