Belkers are evil elemental creatures native to the Plane of Air.

Appearance

Belkers are winged, clawed, red-eyed creatures with leathery wings who can take the forms of ash, dust, and smoke clouds.

Habitat and ecology

Belkers are territorial creatures who assault mortal invaders of their domains in the Plane of Air by being inhaled into their lungs and slashing them apart from within. Most are loyal to Hshura, elemental lord of air, but a few are secretly loyal to Ymeri, lord of fire and smoke.

On Golarion and in the Great Beyond

Belkers can be summoned and bound by powerful spellcasters to serve as guardians. Among the greatest of these summoned belker guardians was Aethsan, who was bound by the powerful undead sorcerer Yithdul in the ruined Shory city of Ulduvai in the Mwangi Expanse. Although belkers are native to the Plane of Air, and are occasionally summoned to the Universe by ambitious arcanists, they have also been spotted on (and are assumed to be natively living on) the demiplane of Leng.
