Muthra

Muthra are creatures of the night. They are a vaguely humanoid bipedal race. They do not like direct sunlight, and generally travel at twilight, night, or underground. They have large membranous wings that they use both to fly and to trap and feed on their prey. They are mammals, and bear their young live. Muthra hate humans and most other humanoids. A great war was fought by a united front of nations against the Muthra hundreds of years ago. That war decimated their population and drove them far back into the wilderness. They like living near bodies of water and swamps, and have a small colony, which is all that remains of their original huge numbers, on the shores of a small lake deep in the mountains that is called Lake Muthra. Muthra feed by sucking juices, mostly blood, from living beings. The resulting shell cannot be Resurrected or Restored without the body's fluids being released. This means you must kill the Muthra that consumed the blood. Muthra are repelled by a properly presented holy item, such as a blessed cross held by a true believer, and cold-rolled steel weapons will do aggravated damage against them. Muthra have three fingers and an opposable thumb on each hand, and three toes and one dewclaw on each foot. Their bat-like wings stretch out from their arms and down their sides all the way to their feet. They can "fold out" these wings for flight with an extra "arm" that extends out from where their hand is. This increases wing size by nearly double. They do not weigh nearly as much as the same sized human. Their bones are honeycombed with air holes and passages, making their bones lighter and more flexible, but more fragile. Their leathery skin provides a tough outer covering to protect their bodies. They have a fine brownish fur all over their bodies and hands, but not on the main surface of the wings. They look a lot like a cross between a man and a bat. Their tail acts like a rudder in flight, making them extremely nimble in flight. Their forehead is very round and quickly tapers to a point at the chin. The only reason a Muthra would not kill its prey immediately is to use it for an unholy sacrifice. Virtually any Human, Orc, Dwarf, Elf, or Mnoken will kill a Muthra on sight.
