Abilities

Grave-Bound Gutsinteraction(divine)

While within 100 feet of its vrykolakas's burial ground, an afziaka appears in the natural shape it had when it was a regular animal and can eat normally. When farther away, it doesn't gain sustenance from eating food and eventually starves to death.

Hunger Pangsoffensive(curse, divine)

A creature damaged by the afziaka's fangs must succeed at a DC 22 fortitude save or become Enfeebled 2 for 1 minute. The creature can remove this condition earlier by consuming at least a handful of raw meat.

Trample◆◆◆offensive

Medium or smaller, hoof, DC 23 reflex The monster Strides up to double its Speed and can move through the spaces of creatures of the listed size, Trampling each creature whose space it enters. The monster can attempt to Trample the same creature only once in a single use of Trample.

Description

An afziaka brute arises from a horse, bull, or other large animal.


Vrykolakas vampires use animals as tools to carry their spirits when they would otherwise be slain. The animal usually dies as the vampire is reborn, but some live on in painful starvation.
