Shedus are good creatures found roaming the Material Plane seeking out evil and destroying it wherever and whenever they encounter it. Shedus aid good creatures in need and never knowingly associate with evil creatures. They are on good terms with lammasu and kirin. Shedu found on the Material Plane make their homes in abandoned and ruined temples and shrines dedicated to gods of law and good.

Shedu rarely enter combat, but always come to the aid of good creatures in need. Shedu relentlessly attack evil on sight, using a combination of their hooves and spell-like abilities.

Priests and holy men sometimes seek the advice and wisdom of a shedu and will journey great distances to find the knowledge they seek. Some ancient cults even worship and pray to the shedu holding them up as deities in their culture.

A typical shedu is about 8 feet long and weighs about 500 pounds.
