(HAHZ-rah-deem)
Corrupted Ashkions in the Fifth Realm.
Arderaphim can also take the form of Hazraadim in our reality if they choose. They may also manifest in other forms, including human guises, much like the Divines do.
Typically they are represented by an amalgamation of things in their environment. Which has caused them to take on the forms of everything from creatures made of rock or trees, to mechanical nightmares.
They retain the memory of the Lebenflus and/or Voldeflus which they are made from. As such, their basic shapes are those of things that existed or were imagined. This leads to things like animalistic shapes, humanoid shapes and even monsters from cultural memories.
It is a broad category and many varieties exist.
In the years following the events at the Nordmauer Mountain Complex, many different types of Hazraadim emerged and swept out over unsuspecting communities (like Moringen). While their physical bodies can be destroyed by conventional means, their immaterial form will slip back into the wilds and manifest a new body.
The only way to truly kill a Hazraadim is to destroy its essence. This can be done with Deitech weaponry or Magic (even physical magic types hurt non-corporeal entities due to its nature).
Classes:
Clsss-1: Small and skittish. These have taken on minor forms and are often non-hostile. Similar to the warped creatures lurking in the ruins of Highland. They have found a comfortable spot in the local ecosystem, behaving much like animals.
Class-2: Bigger and more aggressive. They still resemble animals and typically behave as such.
Clsss-3: Humanoid size or slightly larger. These display definite intelligence, behave on logical ways and may hunt in packs.
Class-4: Ranging from human size to large animals, these usually display intelligence and have been seen communicating with each other.
Class-5: Typically larger than humans. They can grow to very large proportions and are very intelligent. They have been known to communicate with humans, attack things that are hostile towards them and defend their territory. Some have taken on mythical forms, as “dragon-like” beings have been reported in the wilds.
