Namorrodors are undead hunters who live in the Netherworld but eternally crave the meat of creatures from the Universe.

Appearance

Namorrodors are bestial looking undead, appearing vaguely lupine in form, and they have dark fur and large, vicious teeth. A namorrodor is quite comfortable as both a biped or quadruped and will change between the two as the situation requires. A namorrodor's skin sits loosely across its frame with bone spurs tearing through its flesh. These bone spurs are hollow and emit a eerie, haunting whistling sound as air passes through them, frightening their prey.

Habitat and ecology

Namorrodors dwell in the Netherworld, but the food there provides them only the most limited sustenance, so they instead seek prey in the Universe. They can sense the life force of prey in the Universe wherever it is coterminous with the Netherworld and can move between the planes to kill and feast. This transition is always marked by the appearance of a shooting star. It is said that they can make this leap between planes only on the eve of a death, and they are forced to return to the Netherworld within a day.

Namorrodors are drawn to the smell of cooking meat and often prey upon lone travellers who stray too far from their camp fires. They have a natural vulnerability to fire and tend to avoid open flames. Unprotected babies are their preferred meal by far, and a namorrodor will risk even fire to try and snatch an unprotected child.

On Golarion

Namorrodors are active across Golarion, anywhere the Netherworld and Universe meet. They hunt near the river gorges of the Storval Plateau of Varisia, across the Bandu Hills of northern Vidrian, across the Windswept Wastes of distant Casmaron, and along the river that divides the deserts of Shanguang from the nomadic kingdom of Hongal.
