Krenshar

Also known as Skull-Beasts

Among the first Flame-Touched creatures encountered by the newcomers.​

From the notes of Nutesh Woodwalker: "The first dangerous creature we encountered in this world. Resembling both canines and felines, they are fairly large and formidable. They seem to have some facility with mimicry. What stands out most, however, is their unusual ability pull back the skin of their face to reveal the skull and sinew beneath. As such we initially referred to them as :"Skull-Beasts". This ability seems to be for intimidation, and it is fairly effective to that end. The creature itself is not fearless since in our first encounter the one ran rather than be slain & also (like most beasts) appeared fearful of fire. Ironically this is among the beasts the Jackals & Faen refer to as "Flame-Touched". Also it seems the Jackals have some influence over them."

Part of The Jackal's coalition of beasts in the jungle north of the place of arrival.

They seemed to have been created via the experimentations of the Jackal Sibecc with his kindled fragment of The Divine Flame.

The Jackal Abydos has control over them, much like the alpha of a pack.
