Orsatkas are a brutish, unsubtle species of rakshasa.

Appearance

When not disguised, orsatkas resemble hulking humans with bear heads, which sometimes boast thick, red-tinted fur. Their hands have six fingers and too many knuckles. An orsatka's joints are strange and unnatural even by rakshasa standards. Orsatkas are about seven feet tall and weigh around 400 pounds.

Ecology

Orsatkas arise from those who committed massive, senselessly brutal acts. They are cruelty and brute force incarnate: instead of having incredible spellcasting power, orsatkas have prodigious physical strength. They also have an uncanny way of sniffing out enemies, bypassing abjurations and illusions.
