Name: Nekhash
Appearance: Angry looking monster with 2 small red eyes, 2 long fangs coming from lower jaw and many more smaller teeth inside the mouth, invisible at first sight. Monster is hairy, lot of fur everywhere. On the face you can see red glowing eyes, and 2 fangs. Everything else is covered with fur. Monster\'s colors are dark brown and black. the fur is dark brown, although since the monster is covered in dirt, mud, and doesn\'t keep itself clean, the fur is different shades of dark brown, brown and occasional light brown. It\'s lips, hands are black. The monster looks small because it\'s back is arched and always sits and its muscular. It\'s 2 arms are close to his chest (like rabbit), although nothing innocent about them. The hands resembes a humanoid hand with a thumb, has 3 long fingers on each hand(including thumb). The monster can grow long nails at will(yeah like wolvorine ) on any finger. The nail can grow fast or slow, doesn\'t matter, one at a time, all at once, doesn\'t matter, monsters choise.
It\'s back is arched, it\'s legs are like cats legs (feline). Although the monster most of the time prefers sitting in upward position, when it walks, he uses his hands and legs like a feline creature.
Skill level: intermediate to expert.
Combat style: The monster is fast, no sense to run from it, however while you run it cannot attack you because it\'s not in it\'s combat position. The monster likes to ambush and attacks players either out of anger or for food. It\'s normal and dangerous attack is with nails. Nails can grow very long and attack from far (well not that far, but..), however to use nails, the monster has to be in sitting/standing position, not in walking position. So whenever you move, monster is forced to move as well and regrow nails. Monster can jump, but rarely does so. Jumping means very quick death for you because when landing on you, monster quickly grows nails that pierce you and hold on to you, then the monster uses it\'s fangs and small teeth to bite your throat. This way you have chance to bleed to death or if you are on low health, it\'s probably death. Although he rarely jumps, (don\'t know why, I guess its hard for it), if you can predict it jumping you can block it easily by switching to full defense mode. This way your shield (or whatever) gets hit by monster and its nails cannot pierce it. Other than that, like I already said, its nails are main attack method and are grown when its not moving, so if monster needs to change it\'s location for any reason, it\'s nails are down and good time to attack, etc.
It\'s nails can do all sorts of attacks and techniques to pierce or slash you.
History:
The name was given based on the sounds the monster makes. \'nekhash\' (try sounding arabic or something, prolongating \'sh\' part) Although monster doesn\'t actually say that, people thought that this name is closest to what it sounds. Few lived to tell the tale of the monster\'s appearance or whereabouts. They live in dark areas like forests, caves, dungeons. People learned that when an area suddenly becomes uninhabited with any life, Nekhash is probably nearby. They are parasites and do not just kill for food, they kill for the fact that they cannot stand any life near them. They are omnivorous, eat plants, meat, fish, etc. They live one by one, not in groups. How they reproduced is unknown to the people.
Ok, that\'s it, hope you like it.
