A new creature for your Dark Sun games - the deadly K'lgythk.
The crimson sun began its descent out of the olive-tinged sky. Only a few moments after the sun dipped below the horizon, the heat of the day began to ebb away, promising another frigid night. Ulinar gathered up his bedroll into his pack, flung the two waterskins over his shoulder and belted on his sword. Preparing to depart, Ulinar went still when a sound caught his attention. Lifting his head towards the disturbance, Ulinar caught a faint movement from the corner of his eye. Scanning the area, but detecting nothing out of the ordinary, Ulinar presumed the cooling breeze was playing tricks on him and readjusted his pack and waterskins in a more comfortable position for the night’s journey. However, just to be safe, he opened his palm to the ground to draw the needed life force to cast a spell. Pulling a pinch of dried carrot from his belt pouch, Ulinar completed the incantation and began scanning the area with magically enhanced vision. He did not detect any activity beyond the breeze and small scavengers emerging from their dens, so he began to walk towards the cliffs.
