Ozhalig (3.5e Template)
Ozhalig
3e Summary::Ozhalig are highly beautiful creatures with mind-based powers. There are two ozhalig kinds: animal ozhalig and humanoid ozhalig. The humanoid ozhalig are the more powerful (and much more dangerous) among them, and are much rarer than animal ozhalig. They have a near-absolute control over the mind, able to manipulate it with frightening ease. Predator animal ozhalig have a taste for ozhalig flesh, including humanoid ozhalig flesh, while humanoid ozhalig have a taste for only animal ozhalig flesh, not humanoid ozhalig flesh. Ozhalig's offspring are always ozhalig themselves.
