Description
These twisted dryads have been turned into vampiric monstrosities by undead warlocks and vampiric experiments.
Charred Dryads. With burnt and blackened skin, burnt twigs for hair, and clawed hands and feet that resemble burnt and twisted roots, mavkas seem scorched and even frail. Pupil-less red eyes gleam in their eye sockets with a hellish green flame.
Death Riders. All mavkas ride Open Game License
