[edit] Kihi
| “ | Life energy... | ” |
| —common kihi phrase | ||
The life-draining Kihi (pronounced 'key-high') are beings of pure energy created by a power mad wizard to rule the world. The wizard had put all of his evil into the Kihi, all of his malice and spite. The life-sucking beasts devoured his soul and set out on their own. In the mineral-rich wastes near their creator's old tower, the Kihi built vast cities of energy-bound rocks and souls. It is not very uncommon for a soulfused rock golem (See Magic of Incarnum for Soulfused Construct template) to be found along side a Kihi master.
[edit] Personality
| “ | I think I knew it wasn't him. My suspicions were confirmed as the energy beast left his body. | ” |
| —account of a kihi | ||
Kihi keep to themselves,sometimes they use their body snatch ability to get into large cities and feast upon souls. Kihi are evil, calculating liars and tyrants.
[edit] Physical Description
| “ | Those horrible red eyes...oh,it's burning touch... | ” |
| —account of a kihi | ||
Kihi are made of energy. Blue,black, purple, and gray energy pulses through their forms. Their eyes glow blood red. When a Kihi snatches a body you can tell the body is dominated by a Kihi by the blue pupils the body has until the Kihi leaves the body.
[edit] Relations
| “ | Tricky little buggas, that's all I's got to say about them light beasties. | ” |
| —Ronald Diggsworth, bartender about kihis | ||
Kihi are tricksters of pure evil who wish only to dominate every race in the world with their vast soulfused golem armies and body snatching scouts who infiltrate major cities.
[edit] Alignment
Kihi are always chaotic evil.
[edit] Lands
| “ | Are we spirits of the long dead? Or are we experiments gone wrong? None will know... | ” |
| —a kihi about its race | ||
The Kihi live in the vast quarries of a ruined civilization, there they build energy-bound rock and soul architecture. Sometimes they build hidden laboratories under major cities to work on prisoners taken from the city before sucking their soul out.
[edit] Religion
The Kihi don't worship any gods but instead worship energy itself.
[edit] Language
Kihi speak Common. But when they snatch a body they can speak that creatures languages as well, as long as it remains within that body of course.
[edit] Names
| “ | I have had many names throughout the millennia, young human. But you would best know me as Korin Toth. I am a servant of a greater power than your worthless deities and am it's agent on this plane. | ” |
| —a kihi after being revealed inside Korin Toth's body | ||
Kihi change names frequently to suit their numerous snatched bodies. Kihi have no males or females but are completly genderless beings and so don't have true names at all.
