Homebrew Asteeryven Species Details
The Asteeryven are a race of mind eaters, seeking out intelligent life to devour the minds of it's victims. With each mind they consume, their intelligence, hunger and maliciousness grows.
Standing anywhere from 4 foot to 6 foot tall, their bodies appear to be made of the darkness of the void itself draped in robes, the only descernible feature of them being where their mouths would be. A series of glowing vertical lights represent their mouth, when devouring a mind, the lights stretch to be big enough to fit a head inside the mouth, whereby they bite down and start to consume all thoughts, memories, ideas everything about their victim, gaining access and use of this knowledge and skills until their next feed.
As voracious eaters, without a regular intake of new minds, they start to unravel, reverting back towards their basic state of incoporeal energy.
