The evil vaaths are known throughout the planes as relentless, vicious killers. These bloodthirsty, intelligent terrors like to inflict pain and misery as well as kill.

A horrible amalgamation of insect and reptile, the vaath’s long body is coved with dark scales, while its head is protected by a hard black carapace. Long white teeth drip venomous saliva as they protrude from its oversized, lipless mouth. The snout is whiplike, the narrow-slitted eyes peek out from under its chitinous headshell. A small, almost tonguelike tentacle lurks in a cavity just behind the beast’s mouth. The body is sleek and muscular, able to make quick dashes or keep up an enduring, tireless pace.

Vaaths use a limited series of hisses, growls, and barks to communicate. It is a crude language, impossible to understand or speak without magical aid.
