A horrible creation by the Sand-People under the influence of old magics, a spawn of ancient rituals and sadistic breeding-ceremonies between chosen tribesmen and -women and charmed rare beasts of the Desert, known to be emissaries of the Great Dune-Father. After the breeding-ceremony mummyfied and buried in the sacred boneyard the worthy ascend from the ground as undead beings of skin and bone, one part human, one part beast. Worshipped but no longer controlled by the Sand-People they rip apart their own kin or head out into the desert to seek prey in the settlements in the deserts, only guided by the will of the Great Dune-Father. Sand-People slain by the crossbreed are considered infedels and will be thrown out into the desert, as a feast for the carrion feeders. Instinct: To devour

• Bring terror to the civilized
