Rokuro-kubi

Rokuro-kubi were a race of evil humanoid creatures native to Kara-Tur.

Description
Rokuro-kubi outwardly resembled a human. The main distinguishing feature was their neck. They had the ability to stretch their neck up to 20 feet (6 meters) in length. Their mouths were filled with fangs.

Combat
Rokuro-kubi used humanoid weapons in melee combat. They would also use their sharp fangs to bite an opponent. Their neck was strong enough to be able to constrict an opponent, but this was a rare attack, since a rokuro-kubi had to focus all its concentration on one opponent.

Society
Rokuro-kubi were cunning and mischievous. They took great pleasure in the suffering of other creatures.

Ecology
Rokuro-kubi were solitary creatures. They had a nomadic lifestyle, roaming from village to village. They were most often found in the nations of Kozakura and Wa.

A tribe of rokuro-kubi occupied the Jufosu Range of mountains in the southern end of Tsukishima in Wa. They took victims from the farming villages in the foothills of those mountains.

Background
The Rokuro-kubi is based on the rokurokubi of Japanese mythology.
