Talk:Hakeashar

Lost Empires of Faerûn claims that these are exactly the same thing as nishruu. Is there a clear source that explains the distinction? This article says that it is the hands and mouths, but normal nishruu have those also. ~ Lhynard (talk) 22:23, May 3, 2020 (UTC)
 * They are very similar, as hakeshar are subspecies of nishruu. Monster Compendium: Monsters of Faerûn states "a subspecies of nishruu, the hakeashar, is found in the Old Empires of Mulhorand, Unther, and Chessenta. It is identical with the nishruu in all ways except its appearance: Hundreds of grasping hands, probing eyes, and gaping, hungry mouths within the red mists of the creature's body give it a much more horrific appearance." There are two separate spells to summon them, and only more powerful mages could summon hakeashar. Despite similarities, they are different enough to be two separate pages, and I don't think they should be merged. ~ Possessed Priest (talk) 22:32, May 3, 2020 (UTC)
