Hygith - the Barer of Bones

Much of the inspiration and details were developed from Colombia Games information.

The Hygith inhabit the freshwater lakes and rivers ways. They scavenge and hunt feeding on a diet of small animals and fish but are not above taking bites out of large prey. They can be found as individuals but more often in swarms. Of low animal intelligence, they possess a hivemind, and their cunning and hunting skills increase remarkably the larger the swarm. Some swarms become bold enough to attack large animals and even humans, striping their flesh from their bodies in minutes. This is the fisherman's bane, or the feared Crimson Frenzy.

These are among the smallest of Ilvir’s creations, usually 6 to 8 inches long. They have a large eyeless head, segmented armored body with two wing-like flippers, and a finned tail. Their sharp teeth are extensions of its armor plating, and they color from light grey, green, or a sandy yellow.
