A hakeashar was a type of nishruu, similar to them in many ways.
Description[]
They were a subspecies of nishruu and found in the Old Empires of Mulhorand, Unther, and Chessenta. They were identical with nishruus in almost every way except for their appearance.[5]
Hakeashars had hundreds of grasping claws, piercing eyes and outstretched fanged mouths among the globular blood-red mist. Thus, hakeashars had a more horrific appearance and thus naturally could fill their foes with horror.[5]
Combat[]
Hakeashars were slightly more powerful than their nishruu cousins: they had more powerful attacks, higher health, and immunity to standard weapons. Thus, it required a more powerful mage to summon one.[6]
