An ancient race of beings thought to be extinct in current times. The True Vampires, Werevolves and Dark Mages/Wizards, all in one individual, or into a singular existence. It is a known fact in modern days the Štrigon/Štrigun which was a being of vast magical powers, physical strength, speed and senses as well as animalistic traits imbued in its very 'life essence' was the race that created the three races it once made them whole. Their extinction was thought to be corelated with Humanity loosing it's edge and former glory, back in times forgotten. As it stands the Human individuals thought to be able to fully integrate all the aspects of the being in question into oneselves disappeared, and with them the Štrigon itself, as it lost it's main way to perpetuate itself.

Modern Humans, even the strongest Incubi and Heroes simply aren't capable to 'fit' inside themselves the aspect of such magnitude. How they returned remains a mystery. However, by ancient times standards these new specimens albiet holding the potential in themselves to be able to grow to rival lesser Lilims are but a fraction of what a Štrigon as a being used to be.

There is one oddity no one was able to explain about this race shrouded in mystery. It is the only type of monsters in existence that comes in both Undead and Living variations. At first gance there is not much difference between the two types other than the undead one always showing signs of discoloration in skin pigmentation and hair, making said individuals ranging in looks from  a rather pale one with light, mostly silverish-white hair to ashen white skinned individuals with hair white as snow, light. Despite that both can pass for regular humans if the undead one  is either attentive to the fact they don't breathe thus masking it with learned body movement or via their magic.

Being The creatures of the night from legends of old, they have embued into their very existence, their being, the power to freely transform into a Wolf, Bat, Goatand  or Horse at will. Warying in size and shape. They can freely adapt their animal forms into more humanoid looking ones both ugly looking monstrish fiends or beautiful women with animalistic features. It is said they recieved that gift from an old 'Dark Deity', asociated with the Night among other things.

When searching for a husband however, the distinction between them becomes much easier to tell appart. The Undead type, usually much more agressive will relentlessly pursue the one she choose as her man.

(Still Under Construction!)

(*1) The Original form of the 'modern creatures of the night'  from RL legends. Known well in my country and the ones around. The case of Jure Grando, a Štrigon from my very Region, the oldest real Person documented as one. Vukodlak, Vampir (werewolf and vampire ) were once the same being in RL lore here in the Balkans, a creature that came in both Living and undead forms with some wickedly powerful magic.
