Bestiary Rakshasa, Zakya

 

Zakya

Zakya is another one of many rakshasa and while look similar to rajas are a completely separate and rather warrior cast of the fiends. There hands can rotate into a normal position to wield their weapons and commonly serve as body guards for rajas only adding to the confusion of which rakshasa is which. Also see ECS pg  287.

Change Shape [one-action] (concentrate, occult, polymorph, transmutation) The zakya raja takes on the appearance of any Medium humanoid. This doesn’t change the zakya rakshasa’s Speed or its attack and damage modifiers with its Strikes but might change the damage type its Strikes deal (typically to bludgeoning). It typically loses its fangs Strike unless the humanoid form has fangs or a similar unarmed attack.
