Kadyx

The Kadyx is a deadly carnivore of magical origin. His identity and species remain a mystery, though the following facts are known about him:

• He is highly intelligent and has a sense of humor, which he demonstrates by displaying the remains of his victim in unusual ways.
• He has claws that look like scythes and dull black scales on at least a portion of his body.
• He has a strong resistance to magic, evidenced by his apparent immunity to magical scrying.
• He emits a strong odor of cinnamon. The odor lingers in the area 24 hours after his departure.
• Motivated solely by hunger, he has no interest in treasure or material possessions of any kind. He eats all types of living creatures.
• He has no known natural enemies. But he does have a natural lover, Pyre the Doomguard.
• He is probably a burrowing creature, using his hind legs (or some other method) to fill up tunnels behind him so he can't be followed.
• He never leaves the Slags.

Rumors suggest the Kadyx was made by the Tanar'ri to be used as a weapon in the Blood War. It is suggested it was too difficult to control and could not be destroyed, and has since escaped and for the last few thousand years has been occupying the Slags in the Hive Ward.
