"Look at me, mortal. Your ilk always insists that it is not your time, yet here I am. Death does not make mistakes."
——A Dread Reaper
The Reapers are a manifest aspect of death itself. Far more powerful than a lesser aspect, these dangerous otherworldly beings appear as cloaked humanoid effigies, complete with a dark, wraith-like hood that seems to move of its own accord, and a large, black scythe that seethes with the energies of unlife. Their host of magical attacks and weaponry threaten to annihilate anything they touch, either eroding living flesh or disintegrating it to nothing all together. While the common reaper exists to collect the common dead, the Dread Reaper’s purpose is to both deal with powerful individuals who are passing on, as well as those who have cheated death or extended their life unnaturally. A single look into the pale visage of a Dread Reaper shows a deceased reflection of the viewer, glazed over eyes and rotting flesh.
