Ikhoni (/ʔiːx.o:ni/)
Cruel and sadisitc, the Ikhoni are innately magical monsterous creatures who delight in inflicting pain upon other beings. Made of stone, they are often confused for the theriocephalic statutary that is commonly found in Khemian temples. Ikhoni will take advantage of this resembalance, and will stand perfectly still until their hapless prey approaches close enough to pounce upon.
