Inak

Description
The Inak (EE nok) were an intelligent undead species that haunted the tunnels below the northern portion of the basilisk's spine mountains. Superficially, they appeared to be skeletons bounded together by thick, boiled leather however, their skeletal structures consisted of more than just humanoid bones. Inaks built themselves out of any parts they had available. One Inak may had the head of a ram with six long appendages while another may have crawled like a scorpion and had a six-foot-long neck terminating in an infant human's skull.

No one knows how long the Inak were in the low. The elves of Vaskil believed that they were around at least as long as the Anorian empire and perhaps even predated the elves themselves. "So long as there have been bones there had been inak," the Vaskilish saying went.

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

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

Undead Nature. The Inak did not require air, food, drink, or sleep.
