Rakshasa

Rakshasa are tiger-like extra planar beings. They have inverted hands with powerful claws and fierce fangs. However, they'll rarely use those features in combat as the disdain fighting at close quarters as ignoble. They have the innate ability to shape shift into other humanoids at will, and will use this to manipulate others. They are formidable sorcerers as well, and employ an arsenal of skills to both fight and deceive.

Rakshasa crave power above all else. They use their natural abilities and considerable intellect to acquire the influence they desire.

Vox Machina was contracted to hunt a rakshasa by the Slayer's Take Guild in Vasselheim.

In the hunt it is revealed that the rakshasa has a very powerful resistance against magic as Tiberius and Keyleth's spells often fail. It is also hinted that the rakshasa has the power to pry into a person's memory as he learnt about the team's most beloved (Vax's sister, Tiberius's family, Thorbir's daughter, and so on) and threatened to harm them. Upon being slain, a rakshasa will be reborn in the Nine Hells and will seek revenge on its killers and their loved ones.
