The embodiment of rage, hatred, and malice of a conjurer given form as a shadowy figure
A Skerraxis is the embodiment of the rage, hatred, and malice of a conjurer, given form as a shadowy figure. Its ethereal form makes it both delicate and difficult to strike.
It tends to focus on those who are the weakest in a party, picking off the easier targets before overwhelming the more powerful foes.
