Nyloc:
The word Nyloc is one to inspire fear in many a civilized heart. These beings of shadowy sorcery were created long ago by the drow as a servitor species; over the centuries, more and more nyloc escaped thrallhood, and now enough free ones exist to constitute an independent race.
A nyloc resembles nothing so much as a solidified shadow; their winged forms trail off below the waist into a wispy tail, with no legs in evidence. They hover continuously, rarely making contact with the ground. They are not alive in the ways most folk consider living; nyloc are unaffected by biological effects that would slay less fey beings. They do not breathe, and can use both of their claws with equal dexterity. Nyloc are inherently creatures of darkness; their nightvision is outstanding, and none can match their abilities at stealth.
Nyloc are, however, vulnerable to many forms of energy, particularly light, due to their unusual makeup. Prolonged exposure to sunlight, for example, is known to burn their shadowy flesh. Flame and heat are known to be dangerous to them, as well. They typically live for somewhat over a hundred and ten years. Knowledge of the languages Zadjalin and Dazask is present in every newborn nyloc; this is implicit in the nature given them by their drow creators.
