Details
Astral stalker roam the Astral Sea, reveling in the thrill of the hunt. They prefer intelligent creatures as quarry, for the added challenge and for the added satisfaction of a kill. They adhere to a strange set of tenets known as the Rules of the Hunt: they do not ever prey again on a creature that has eluded them; they do not hunt a creature that has employed them for at least one year; and they do not, under any circumstances, hunt each other. Astral stalkers see any creature that is not an astral stalker as potential prey, and when encountered on the Astral Sea, or something on other planes, they are liable to sneak up and attack immediately. They favor ambushes, as they are most skilled in sinking their claws into creatures that are not aware of them, breaking away from the fight, and attacking against from an unexpected angle.
