About

The ghost-faced cultists are a terrifying sight, swiftly moving through the underbrush and descending upon anyone who strays too far into the misty wilderness or finds themself caught in a trap. Many wander the jungle’s edge searching for vulnerable people, but when none can be found they venture into the surrounding villages to look for victims. They use the cover of the jungle to ambush in a coordinated pack and prefer to attack lone targets. If they cannot overwhelm a creature with surprise, force, and numbers, they quickly retreat into the wilds.
