Description:

Gytrash are shapeshifters that inhabit quiet moorlands across Elysia and in rare cases even on Earth. They live in packs of three or four, often a family unit led by the male as their alpha, and prey on lone travellers or anything they perceive as weaker than them. They can take the shape of horses or mules but prefer the form of a dog. Only the red eyes make it possible to tell them apart from real animals, giving them a place in folklore. Known for its violent temper and changeable moods, the gytrash is rarely seen in urban areas. Those that do live in cities are often weaker and smaller but more predatory and are scavengers.

Abilities:

The gytrash can change shape to deceive its prey, taking the form of a horse, mule or dog.
