Dikht

"According to the myths the Dikht (cursed) originally came from Zasfar island where people believe zera fell to her death. after Zutsron cursed the land, it is believed that the humans living there became numb and mindless. They say it only took a few days for most of the population to already lose their sanity and turn into the cursed. the rest of the villages fled beyond the Godraz Peaks and rebuilt their towns there"
Creatures Between the Suns by Adventurer Philik.

Basic Information

Anatomy

humanoid creatures with long arms and legs. They usually walk on all four but can run on two if necessary. their skin is rotten and like their eyes is almost white as snow

Genetics and Reproduction

Humans who have been scratched by Dikht transform after a few hours.

Growth Rate & Stages

the race does not grow in numbers. Dikht do not die naturally, however they are stuck in a small region on Zasfar island and so they can only attack humans who wander into the area or once in a while a dikht would escape and go to a human village. this is pretty rare because of the difficulty of living the region due to it's geography and because there are guards patroling the exit. Scratched humans quickly lose their sanity and start attacking everything in sight. soon after their skin becomes pale and their limbs stretch in a painful transformation. The change is complete once their eyes turn completely white.
