Dosk the are remnants of the The Aahliads. Corruped beings with now true form they sculk trough the lands surrounding thier old homes pushing further and further outwards as the bonds that keep them there slowly decay.

Dosk are commonly amongst the first creatures realised from any given Aahliad Ruin and from the vanguard of the horrors within. Despite this, they are not generally overly concerned with releasing their brethren. Instead turning their attention to destroying any trespassers and retrieving anything stolen from them. Yet once their home is secure, Dosk will begin to wander further and further away from them as the tethers that bind them there start to weaken.

Dosk are particularly difficult to slay by most methods and are far more easily sealed away; A fate they are more susceptible to than most.

The Dosk could not make its way into the house of the Neeps. But in kinder form, it found its way inside as a guest. As a reward for helping it in Little Ramhorn was the only one who woke up after falling asleep that night. But they could not eat the meat of livestock in time before their bodies rotted away.
Every Neep, Neeplet and Nupe were slain; Now their ghost won't let anybody enter ever again.
