The Nekropoth are the Black Reapers of the Carsil Forest. Black-clad wolves of high stature and razor-sharp talons. They rarely venture outside its depth to the great comfort of the outsiders. Nekropoth take pleasure in striking unseen and relish the terror their lightning-fast wake. Cunning and patient, it is impossible for them to become frenzied as they cannot enjoy a hunt without a calm spirit.
