ABOUT

Urdefhans created the first skavelings—flying undead horrors nicknamed “ghoul bats”—and rely on them to maintain air superiority in their colossal caverns.

While some urdefhans subdue wild undead mobats for use as mounts, others create new skavelings and form permanent bonds with the resulting less intelligent but more loyal specimens. Skaveling riders serve as forward scouts who report on enemy movements, track intruders in urdefhan lands, and support or lead urdefhan soldiers in battle. The casual urdefhan view of death and destruction doesn't extend to these riders' skavelings, and an urdefhan will shake the foundations of the world to murder the creature who destroys its mount.
