This article covers the species of velstrac. For the troll diviners, see augurs.

Augurs are the most common type of velstrac in the Netherworld.

Appearance

Unlike other more humanoid velstracs, augurs have been mutilated into a sphere of bloody flesh, leaving only a single eye exposed within a tangle of metal plate armor. Most are a foot in diameter and weigh 30 pounds.

Abilities

Augurs are stealthy and capable of magical flight, but can also roll themselves around. Lacking limbs, they manipulate objects through magic. Their single eye's piercing gaze is magically unnerving.

Ecology

Like other velstracs, augurs are native to the Netherworld. An experienced lawful evil spellcaster can also summon an augur as a familiar. Some augurs even serve as apprentices to or students of mortals. They view bloodletting as an artform to be appreciated and enjoy being offered freshly plucked eyeballs from living creatures.

On Golarion

Joyful Things can summon an augur velstrac per day, and evil spellcasters—including followers of Zon-Kuthon or divinities of Hell—who can summon creatures can choose to summon an augur.

Augur velstracs serve as sentinels at Edammera's Folly, a mysterious tower in western Nidal near the Usk River's fork.
