Scather (Skay-ther)

A Creature of the Null

Basic Information

Anatomy

Scathers have an imposing bat-like shape. With a wingspan of 12 feet, these creatures have a sharp purple and black crystalline texture to their features.

Ecology and Habitats

Where death is the normality, scathers thrive. That is why they are numerous within the desolate realm of the Null. To be within the presence of the living, or even any form of positive energy, is to stir its wrath.
