Ecology

Mavka is a creature that has crossed the threshold of death; its continued presence is itself a violation of natural law. It is most often found in any regions. It is medium-sized, which shapes how it hunts, hides, or fights.

Behaviour

Mavka is haunted by what it was in life; its goals echo old grievances or the will of the necromancer who raised it. Its Chaotic Evil alignment shapes how it engages with the world — predictable in tendency, even when unpredictable in detail. It is intelligent enough to plan, scheme, or remember. Spellcasting expands its repertoire well beyond what its physical stat block alone suggests.

Origin

Mavka is introduced in Kobold Press's Tome of Beasts 1 (2016). Undead are the wounds the Negative Plane leaves on the mortal world — every undead has a death story behind it. Within a campaign, its existence anchors a region with the kind of weight only an old, named species carries.
