ABOUT

The kuthite’s torsos, heads, and arms resemble those of beautiful humans, resting upon a long snake’s body. They have bat-like wings with a span of over a dozen feet. Their skin is flawless, pale, and supple, covered only by their hair which they wear long, bound up from time to time with silver or gold broaches. Their beauty is legendary, rivaling that of any of the fey. Despite having wings, the kuthite are horrible in flight, rarely able to get more than a few feet off the ground. The wings serve more for balance while they use their long snake form to coil and climb up surfaces. In this way, they can climb vertical planes.

Eternal Recluses. The creatures are immortal, living out their lives in almost any terrain but preferring regions where they can nest high off the ground and far from the interference of other creatures. They are commonly found in abandoned castles and towers.

Dangerous Curiosity. The kuthite are very curious creatures and rarely pass up an opportunity to molest travelers or any who come near their lairs. Though not wholly evil, they are possessed by an innate greed that often drives them to kill those they molest.

Archers. The kuthite favor the bow in combat. Though they disdain clothing and armor of any type, they are able to fashion bows and arrows. Their skills are immense with the weapon and their speed beyond that of normal creatures; as such they can shoot two arrows per round. The kuthite are able to use the bow in close action combat, shooting victims they are constricting.
