They appear to be among the Ba'al side of the Fallen Bloodlines and seem warlike. Shapeshifters-52 Rakshasas are powerful spirits in a humanoid tiger's body. All rakshasas are immune to either +2 or +3 weapons or less and are completely immune to all spells lower than 8th level. The spells they use are usually levels 1-6. They drop non-magical swords when killed. Rakshasas are numerous in Suldanessellar - they may disturb your rest there. One called Ihtafeer is in the lodge in the Druid Grove, and one is a magical clothes vendor in the Black Pits I named Elan Garaq. Rakshasas are a race of evil spellcasters. Rakshasha is a majestic, purple, feline-like cryptid that guards Kur's Tomb. It made its first and only appearance in Cryptid vs. Cryptid. Once upon a time, the rakshasas dominated both Khorvaire and Sarlona. However, the dragons of Argonnessen and the couatls of Xen'drik joined forces, and waged a great war against the rakshasas and their rulers, the great rakshasa rajahs. Though the dragons and couatls were victorious, most of the couatls gave their lives to bind the rakshasa rajahs, called the Overlords, deep within the Khyber. A number of rakshasas remain free, and call themselves the Lords of Dust. Their end goal is to free their rajah rulers and avenge themselves against the dragons and the remaining agents of the couatls: the devas. In Hindu mithology, Rakshasa, or Rakshasa Raja, is a type of demon or goblin. Rakshasas are shapeshifters and can assume the form of animals, as monsters, or as beautiful women. They are most powerful in the evening, particularly during the new moon, but they are dispelled by the rising sun. They especially detest sacrifice and prayer. First mentioned in White Night, then again in Turn Coat and Ghost Story. A rakshasa is a demon or unrighteous spirit in Hindu and Buddhist mythology. Rakshasas are also called cannibals. According to the Ramayana, rakshasas were created from Brahma's foot; other sources claim they are descended from Pulastya, or from Khasa, or from Nirriti and Nirrita. Legend has it that many rakshasas were particularly wicked humans in previous incarnations. Rakshasas are notorious for disturbing sacrifices, desecrating graves, harassing priests, possessing human beings and so on. Their fingernails are venomous, and they feed on human flesh and spoiled food. They are shapeshifters, illusionists and magicians. Ravana is said to be the king of rakshasas. Hit Dice: 7d8+21 (52 hp) Initiative: +2 Speed: 40 ft.

They were powerful sorcerers and, although they disdained physical fighting as ignoble, could be dangerous in close combat as well. The rakshasa were a race of semi-immortal demonic entities whose true forms resembled bipedal tigers with human-like hands. They were shapechangers, illusionists, and sorcerers who fed on human flesh. Rakshasa were created by The Empress. They are immortal beings, their life-cycles tied to those of the Deva. Most Rakshasa worship Hammu, god of Justice, though they know him as Shamasa. Branche: GeheimdienstHauptsitz: Shiva (Bündnis) Rakshasas are creatures from Hindu mythology and are very nasty. They eat human flesh, sleep on a bed of dead insects and are great at shapeshifting. A rakshasa cannot enter a house without first being invited. The one in Supernatural appeared as a clown at the fair who would follow children home, get the child to let them into the house and then eat the parents. The origins of the Rakshasas is unknown due to conflicting stories - according to the Hindu epic known as Ramayana, Rakshasas were created from Brahma's foot; other sources claim they were descended from the god Pulastya, or from the ancient Khasa, or from the gods Nirriti and Nirrita. Rakshasas were notorious for disturbing sacrifices, desecrating graves, harassing priests, possessing human beings and generally causing destruction and mischief. Their fingernails were said to be venomous and they fed on human flesh and spoiled food. Their literary origins can be traced to Vedic sources through Hymn 87 of the tenth mandala of the Rig Veda. Here they are classified amongst the Yatudhanas, demonic creatures who consume the flesh of the humans. Rakshasas all have a humanoid appearance and wear large iron masks on their faces. Their bodies disintegrate into a blue mist upon death, therefore their corpses can only be briefly dragged backwards by the Drag Takedown skill. Despite this, Kalinag has enough time to execute a Knife Throw Takedown before their corpses vanish. According to Kalinag, Rakshasas could be possessed Shangri-La warriors or seekers. This is supported by their appearance. Rakshasas crave power above all else. They use their natural abilities and considerable intellect to acquire the influence they desire. According to Allura Vysoren, the essence of a slain rakshasa returns to the Nine Hells, where its body reforms in a painful process that takes weeks or months. Rakshasa is a powerful individual possessing the ability to create convincing illusions and change his physical form. Though not much of a combatant his talents make him a favored servant of his master, Doctor Destroyer; whereas his other superpowered henchmen are often dispatched into situations where fighting is expected, Destroyer often reserves Rakshasa's abilities for times when a more delicate touch is called for. A close relative of vampires, rakshasas are named for demons in Indian folklore. Under Her Majesty's Supernatural Acceptance Decree, the rakshasas are made tax collectors in the British Empire. Attack used as OverDrive, looks like the normal attack, but it does twice the damage and dispels the target, rather than silence it.

Rakshasas are creatures from Hindu mythology and are very nasty. They eat human flesh, sleep on a bed of dead insects and are great at shapeshifting. A rakshasa cannot enter a house without first being invited. The one in Supernatural appeared as a clown at the fair who would follow children home, get the child to let them into the house and then eat the parents. Race: outsider Alignment: lawful evil Armor class: 21 Hit points: 52 Attack bonus: +9/+4 Damage: d10+2 slashing damage; criticals 19-20/x2 (bastard sword +1) Hit dice (level): 7 Challenge rating: 7 Size: medium Damage reduction: 20/+3 Trained skills:(‡) listen (14), move silently (13), perform (15), spot (15) Feats: alertness, darkvision, dodge, weapon proficiency (creature), weapon proficiency (exotic), weapon proficiency (martial) The origins of the Rakshasas is unknown due to conflicting stories - according to the Hindu epic known as Ramayana, Rakshasas were created from Brahma's foot; other sources claim they were descended from the god Pulastya, or from the ancient Khasa, or from the gods Nirriti and Nirrita. Rakshasas were notorious for disturbing sacrifices, desecrating graves, harassing priests, possessing human beings and generally causing destruction and mischief. Their fingernails were said to be venomous and they fed on human flesh and spoiled food. They were adept shapechangers and magicians with a talent for casting illusions. Rakshasa are, like the Manananggal, Indonesian Vampires who are believed to consume flesh as well as blood. They appear to be among the Ba'al side of the Fallen Bloodlines and seem warlike. Rakshasas are powerful spirits in a humanoid tiger's body. All rakshasas are immune to either +2 or +3 weapons or less and are completely immune to all spells lower than 8th level. The spells they use are usually levels 1-6. They drop non-magical swords when killed. Rakshasas are numerous in Suldanessellar - they may disturb your rest there. One called Ihtafeer is in the lodge in the Druid Grove, and one is a magical clothes vendor in the Black Pits I named Elan Garaq. Rakshasas all have a humanoid appearance and wear large iron masks on their faces. Their bodies disintegrate into a blue mist upon death, therefore their corpses can only be briefly dragged backwards by the Drag Takedown skill. Despite this, Kalinag has enough time to execute a Knife Throw Takedown before their corpses vanish. Rakshasas appear briefly in the mission Don't Look Down. There are two guarding the two components to craft the Grapple, and since Ajay is left unarmed, the player is forced to avoid them in order to get the Grapple. Later during the mission, one will appear behind Ajay while grappelling down a cliff and will cut the rope. Since Ajay seems to be hallucinating during the level, it can be assumed that they are only seen by Ajay, as a result of hallucination. Rakshasas most notably appear in the Shangri-La missions, where they appear as the main enemy faction. Kalinag, the protagonist during these missions, must defeat them in order to save Shangri-La. The apparent leader of the invading Rakshasa is a gigantic bird-like creature. This large avian Rakshasa is defeated in the final Shangri-La mission when the player shoots arrows into its vulnerable mouth, then commands the Sky Tiger to enter its mouth while it is temporarily stunned on the ground. According to Kalinag, Rakshasas could be possessed Shangri-La warriors or seekers. This is supported by their appearance. The Rakshasas also appears in multiplayer mode. They have a very different appearance, which closely resembles that of the Royal Army Hunters, owing to the fact that these Rakshasas are actually a rebirth of the concept within the Royal Army based on Pagan Min's research into Kyrati legends. These Rakshasas utilize the ability to summon and have specialized Hunter Bows with arrows such as teleportation "Blink" arrows and bee-firing "Swarm" arrows. A close relative of vampires, rakshasas are named for demons in Indian folklore. Under Her Majesty's Supernatural Acceptance Decree, the rakshasas are made tax collectors in the British Empire. In Hindu mithology, Rakshasa, or Rakshasa Raja, is a type of demon or goblin. Rakshasas are shapeshifters and can assume the form of animals, as monsters, or as beautiful women. They are most powerful in the evening, particularly during the new moon, but they are dispelled by the rising sun. They especially detest sacrifice and prayer. First mentioned in White Night, then again in Turn Coat and Ghost Story. Rakshasas crave power above all else. They use their natural abilities and considerable intellect to acquire the influence they desire. According to Allura Vysoren, the essence of a slain rakshasa returns to the Nine Hells, where its body reforms in a painful process that takes weeks or months. Rakshasas were a type of evil outsider from the lawful evil regions of the Outer Planes, though most lived on the Material Plane.

Their literary origins can be traced to Vedic sources through Hymn 87 of the tenth mandala of the Rig Veda. Here they are classified amongst the Yatudhanas, demonic creatures who consume the flesh of the humans. Some sources credit Kashyapa with the origin of the rakshasa, although the Hymns of the Vedas for artistic reasons fail to do so. The knowledge of the Rakshasa lineage traceable to Kashyapa may have been known at the time of the compilation of the Vedas, but lineages are altogether foreign to the style of the Vedas and thus would have appeared out of place. This might explain why the Puranans and Hindu epics elaborate on their lineage, but the Vedas do not. The rakshasa were a race of semi-immortal demonic entities whose true forms resembled bipedal tigers with human-like hands. They were shapechangers, illusionists, and sorcerers who fed on human flesh.

A rakshasa is a demon or unrighteous spirit in Hindu and Buddhist mythology. Rakshasas are also called cannibals. According to the Ramayana, rakshasas were created from Brahma's foot; other sources claim they are descended from Pulastya, or from Khasa, or from Nirriti and Nirrita. Legend has it that many rakshasas were particularly wicked humans in previous incarnations. Rakshasas are notorious for disturbing sacrifices, desecrating graves, harassing priests, possessing human beings and so on. Their fingernails are venomous, and they feed on human flesh and spoiled food. They are shapeshifters, illusionists and magicians. Ravana is said to be the king of rakshasas. In Japan, the rakshasa is known as Rasetsu, and in Shingon is identified as the lord of demons (Rasetsuten) and guardian of the southwest. It is depicted as horse-headed. Taraka is said to be a Rakshasa. Once upon a time, the rakshasas dominated both Khorvaire and Sarlona. However, the dragons of Argonnessen and the couatls of Xen'drik joined forces, and waged a great war against the rakshasas and their rulers, the great rakshasa rajahs. Though the dragons and couatls were victorious, most of the couatls gave their lives to bind the rakshasa rajahs, called the Overlords, deep within the Khyber. A number of rakshasas remain free, and call themselves the Lords of Dust. Their end goal is to free their rajah rulers and avenge themselves against the dragons and the remaining agents of the couatls: the devas.
