SPECIAL TRAITS

• Spectral Howdah. A rakshasa ambari is surrounded by the ghostly vestiges of long-dead warriors that once fought alongside it and mounted upon it.

ABOUT

Horrors born from the depths of endless jungles, the ambari are undead elephants granted terrible powers through necromantic rites of the wicked rakshasa. Massive and terrifying, many of these earth-shaking undead behemoths retain the exotic trappings and elegant finery of the princes who once doted upon them. The glory of such beasts is long forgotten, though, as most serve as unholy slaves and fearless beasts of war for uncaring necromancers who have learned the secrets of their creation or directly under the rod of the immortal rakshasa rajahs.
