A rast was a creature of ash and cinder with ten to fifteen legs, a bulbous floating body, and great head filled with teeth. It was the size of a great dog and weighed around 200 pounds (90 kilograms).[1]
Behavior[]
They roamed around in swarms of half a dozen and continuously consumed any prey they were able to catch and kill.[1]
Abilities[]

Were they lose to their ability to float by some magical means however, they would become greatly hampered as their fighting was predicated on their flight and they could to little else than try to regain their bearings.[1]
