The Gagoulya
Now.....take this with a grain of salt....it is an excerpt from a biography from a character I made a while ago. I though the race that I made up from scratch would make for a good addition to the site though slightly modified to fit in.
Thousands of years ago, a powerful necromantic wizard mage upset several clans of vampires and lycanthropes. He became a hunted man, and decided to creature his own personal guards. Making his way to the small local cemetery, the mage walked his way through the cemetery, glancing around he found the three oldest tombstones. Written upon them where only three names, no last names at all. The mage knew that tombstones in the old days like this where full of superstitions. Last names were not written upon the names of tombstones of criminals, demons, and devil worshippers to prevent them from coming back to life. Stupid superstitions, how would that prevent him from bringing these three back from the dead? Gathering his supplies, the male began his spell. He quickly raised the three vampires, and then continued his tampering. Quickly, the male created what could only be the perfect killer as he saw it. He created the gagoulya. Three of them from the once dead vampires.
The gagoulya where powerful. The ease with which vampires and lycanthropes can tear a human apart is the same ease that the gagoulya would tear apart a vampire, lycanthrope, demon, or any other mythological creatures. They had super strength and speed and reflexes. Each had wings, allowing them to fly. They had dermal armor, so tough and durable their skin was practically invincible, impervious to any known physical attack. Their retractable nails where strong enough to shred steel and concrete. They could exhale a powerful stream of fire up to fifteen feet with the heat to turn concrete to molten lava and melt steel.
The gagoulyas where undead creatures, and as such had no need to breath or sleep. With that in mind, the mage decided to make also able to operate as some of the most magnificent spies this world had ever seen. He gave them chameleon like abilities, able to take on their background and surrounds to the point where even the texture of their skin would change to blend them in perfectly. To enhance this feature, their aura fluctuates to allow who ever looks upon them to see them as one of their own species. Last, each gagoulye could shape shift their human form to blend in better with the crowd as well. However, the down side to all this power was as just like vampires did not like the sunlight, neither did the gagouylas. Their eyes where super sensitive to light. Although they had perfect vision in the dark and at night, bright lights would scorch their retinas causing excruciating agony.
