Gheist

From Wildermyth Wiki
A Gheist

A type of Gorgon. The bears resisted longest, the solitary and lonesome bears, who loved their independence. Now they move silent in sorrow, their gaping maws full of baleful flame, their melancholy strength unquestioned, unmatched.

Gheists have very high movement and are able to shred armor as a swift action. This allows them to close rapidly on your heroes, remove their armor, and then deal a killing blow – potentially all in a single turn. Keep your distance!

Description

Its shuffling shoulders scrape like stones. Gory stench rises off its matted fur.
