Aghashes are a div species whose obsessive hatred concerns beautiful mortals.

Appearance

An aghash is a filthy hag-like creature draped in rags and hunched over on goat-like legs, giving its emaciated frame an obscene, jerking gait. Its face is featureless save for a large eye ringed by fangs. An aghash stands between five and six feet tall and weighs about 100 pounds.

Abilities

Merely watching an aghash opens one to the curse of the evil eye which it embodies. It can deliver curses from a distance, leading some victims to believe they have been afflicted by a disease or cursed by the gods, all while the aghash delights in the suffering it has caused.

Ecology

Aghashes wander deserts of the Universe spreading doom with their evil eyes. They hold nothing sacred, taking particular pleasure in bringing mortals, particularly spellcasters, to ruin.

Aghashes have an obsessive compulsion to despise beautiful mortals and will always choose to attack the most physically attractive foe if given a choice. Such is its loathing that an aghash might stalk attractive foes, delighting in afflicting them with curses that undermine their charm.
