Ankou
A shadow-winged herald of death marks its doomed quarry and rarely hunts alone, splitting itself into a host of murderous shade duplicates.
The ankou is a herald of death wrought from living shadow, flitting on cold-iron wings to mark the doomed and hunt them through the dark. It rarely fights alone—it splits itself into a host of murderous shades.
