Elthakar the Reborn – Shapeshifter Flayer

Elthakar the Reborn – Shapeshifter Flayer

Aberration (Monster)

Surrounded by a crown of eye-stalked tentacles and wearing heavy ceremonial vestments over a mass of writhing tendrils, Elthakar the Reborn projects absolute alien authority across the battle grid. Featuring a central facial aperture flanked by staring eyestalks and clawed limbs, this creature commands the field with an unsettling physical presence. Keepers can deploy this Artifact as an aberration boss, a reanimated mind-weaver, or a horrific centerpiece guardian in subterranean vaults.

Tabletop Lore

In the frozen depths of Duoarastat, the corpse of the Shapeshifter Flayer lay dormant for nearly three years, preserved among the icy wastes. When Hendrak delved into the ancient dungeons beneath the Oldavori capital, he discovered the slain entity and recognized its terrifying potential. Reanimating the fallen creature, Hendrak bestowed upon it dark powers far surpassing what it wielded in life, unleashing a reborn nightmare to serve his grand design.

Highlight

The terrifying canopy of multiple eyestalks arching outward above intricate, embroidered ritual robes creates an imposing and unnatural alien silhouette on the table.
