BRAXAT

Braxat are a tribal group of hulking

monstrosities that stalk deserts and
mountainous regions of the world,
stalking their prey with brutal precision.

Tough Physique. A braxat is a monstrous creature that

stands fifteen feet tall and weighs over a ton. They have
tough, chitinous shells that grow in plates over their
bodies. Each plate is covered in elongated spikes. The
parts of their body that don’t have these plates, typically
the arms, legs, chest, and face, are covered in thick gray
skin.
Ruthless Hunters. Braxat consume a diet made up
almost entirely of sentient creatures. Due to their innate
psionic nature, they find sustenance not just in the meat
of their prey, but also in the psionic energy. They are
highly skilled hunters who pride themselves on excessive
cruelty to those they hunt. A hunting party of braxat will
set ambushes for their prey, fighting them for as long as
they hold the advantage, only to abandon the fight and
wait for a better opportunity if things should shift against
them. They use their psionic abilities to wear down their
foes, only closing in with massive clubs when victory is
certain. Often, they will use their tremendous telepathic
ability to taunt their foes or give them false hope as the
hunt continues, only to further wear down and savor the
agony of their prey.
Tribal Society. Braxat live in tribes of twenty to eighty
members. Each tribe is ruled by a single individual who
may be challenged for the right to rule once each year
at an annual event where all members of the tribe who
have proven themselves in combat and on raids is given
a chance to take leadership for themselves if they believe
they are more capable than the war chief. This ideal of strength
is found in every aspect of braxat life
