Greetings everyone,
Despite flawless Google-fu I cannot locate a monster from AD&D 2nd edition. It has the head of hyena with the arms of a humanoid. It's legs are reverse jointed like a dog's but they end with talons like a bird. It possesses wings and I am fairly certain Good maneuverability.
They reproduce my shooting living creatures with a Tak'lif(sp?) Arrow. A few days after being shot by this arrow the victim's soul is devoured and it becomes this creature. They only kept one Tak'lif arrow at a time.
It was always pictured holding a longbow.
It may have been called a Marishi. I remember it being pronounced like MAR - E - SHE but I do not remember the spelling.
I hope someone can tell me what this thing is and possibly locate the stat block for it.
Also, first time posting on the forums. /overly enthusiastic wave
After more searching I finally found the creature...
May I present the Marrashi.
Marrashi
I got a 3rd edition stat block for you
But I recall seeing a very similar paizo creature, I will look it up
Seems I am confused with the Garuda, it is a bit similar in appearance and has abow, but still a completely different creature.
Greetings and welcome. I remember this thing because I remember my reaction when I first read the entry:
"Taklif" arrow - omg, I guess the editor has taken his life as this went through.
"Taklif" arrow - omg, I guess the editor has taken his life as this went through.
I... don't get it.
I think he's saying that the Taklif arrow by it's very name is a ridiculous shortened form of Take Life and any editor worth a damn should have veto'd the hell out of it.
