Skull Hunter

"You can't outrun them, prayers or a sword are your best option." - Falvonan Wilderness Guide

A horrific species the planet itself created. With such powerful entities the planet over, nature at some point was going to create something of nightmares. With a stout and sturdy body, thick spines, metal-shearing claws, and a uncovered skull-like face with destructive teeth, the Skull Hunter is universally reviled in places of the world. Few creatures, or humanoids, that cross its path live to tell the tale. These bear-like predators are things of nightmare and legend.
