Heart Reaver
Heart Reaver
Medium Aberration, Lawful Evil
CR 8 (3,900 XP)
Heart Reavers drift from place to place, leaving behind emotionless voids where people once where. Their pale flesh and eyeless faces make them haunting imitations of humanity. Drawn to mortals by their passions, they harvests emotions for their collections and for trade.
Heart Reavers prefer isolation and subterfuge over open combat. They hunt in the dark corners of the world, watching for moments of weaknes. Each attack drains their victims’ vitality and emotion, leaving them numb and joyless. Over time, entire communities can wither under a reaver’s influence, their laughter turning to silence as the creature harvests feeling itself. As they gain more and more emotions the reavers will become bolder, donning emotions to fool and best their victims.
For Dungeon Masters, the Heart Reaver is ideal for a taste of horror or emotionally charged stories to campaings. Introducing one as the cause of a mysterious plague of apathy, or as a secretive trader dealing in bottled emotions. Heart Reavers' relentless nature makes them an excellent nemesis for players. Whether encountered in an alleyway, a noble’s court, or beneath a festival’s lights, the reavers challenge players not only to survive, but to understand the value of emotion.
