These creatures are shrouded in secrecy and rumor, with their true forms and identities hidden behind their impenetrable armor. Their primary function is to serve as loyal minions and soldiers to evil wizards, carrying out their master’s orders with ruthless efficiency and cunning. Equipped with a combination of a Sagaris Axe and a dagger, the Xyd’Ye are skilled in both close combat and swift strikes, making them formidable adversaries on the battlefield.
In battle, the Xyd’Ye is a relentless and agile combatant, utilizing its weapons with deadly precision and speed. Their ability to vanish without a trace upon death adds to their mysterious and elusive nature, leaving behind no remnants or clues to their existence. This makes them valuable assets to evil wizards, who use them for covert missions, ambushes, and acts of subterfuge against their enemies.
Encountering a Xyd’Ye signals a potential threat from the shadows, as these covert operatives lurk in the service of dark and nefarious forces.
Special Abilities:
- Brilliant Blue Eyes: The Xyd’Ye’s glowing blue eyes can pierce through darkness, granting it advantage on sight-based perception checks and allowing it to see in dim light as if it were bright light.
- Disappearing Act: When a Xyd’Ye is killed, its burnished bronze plate mail disintegrates and whatever was inside vanishes without a trace. This prevents any potential loot or evidence from being left behind.
- Minion of Evil Wizards: Xyd’Ye typically serve as loyal minions and soldiers to evil wizards, carrying out their master’s bidding with unwavering loyalty and obedience.
