ABOUT

The bodach stands at around six feet tall, with a hunched posture that gives it a menacing presence. Its body appears emaciated, with gray, pearly skin stretched taut over its bony frame. Its mouth is filled with sharp teeth, and its sinister smile sends shivers down your spine it. Cloaked in ragged, tattered garments that were once worn by mortals, the bodach exudes an aura of decay and neglect.

Bodachs (bo-TAK) are solitary creatures that wander the Prime Plane looking for easy prey to snatch and take back to Infernus. They can be found in dark, desolate places, such as abandoned ruins, haunted forests, and forgotten burial grounds. They have a particular affinity for areas where the boundary between the Material Plane and the Ethereal Plane is thin.

These cunning tricksters delight in playing malicious pranks on mortals, especially children. They relish in causing fear and confusion, feeding off the negative emotions they provoke. Bodachs have a deep understanding of deception and enjoy manipulating others for their amusement.

Bodachs prefer psychological torment over direct confrontation. They use their innate spellcasting abilities and deceptive nature to sow discord among their victims. They excel at disguising themselves and infiltrating communities, causing unrest and suspicion.

Bodachs are opportunistic predators, targeting those who are isolated or vulnerable. When forced into combat, bodachs rely on their natural agility and sharp claws to tear through their opponents. They are known to employ hit-and-run tactics, vanishing into the shadows and reappearing when least expected.
