Monsters of Omeria | Inaks

The inaks (EE noks) are an intelligent undead species that haunt the tunnels below the northern portion of the Basilisk's Spine Mountains. Superficially, they appear to be skeletons bound together by thick, boiled leather. However, their skeletal structures consist of more than just humanoid bones. Inaks build themselves out of any parts they have available. One inak may have the head of a ram with six long appendages while another may crawl like a scorpion and have a six-foot-long neck terminating in an infant human's skull.

No one knows how long the inaks have been in The Low. The elves of Vaskil Valley believe that they've been around at least as long as the Anorian empire and perhaps even predate the elves themselves. "So long as there have been bones there have been inaks," as the Vaskilish saying goes.

Dragon Trainers. Inaks have a close relationship with the subterranean drakes of The Low, dubbing them zogo-ba-inak, or "our dragons". For whatever reason, it's considered sacrilege for the inaks to utilize zogo-ba-inak bones to create new inaks. Instead, the inaks use the reckless zogo-ba-inak as guard dogs and weapons of war. In many ways, zogo-ba-inak are the inaks' first line of defense. There's no question that the drakes are the reason the aboveground humanoid races have yet to discover Kwa-ba-inak.

Kwa-ba-inak. The inaks live in a massive vertical shaft pocked with thousands of labyrinthine tunnels and alcoves named Kwa-ba-inak ("our city"). Creatures who lack sufficient means to climb quickly find themselves at an disadvantage within the inaki city. Not that it matters, of course. No humanoid who has ever set eyes on the city has lived to tell the tale.

Undead Nature. The inak does not require air, food, drink, or sleep.
