Kept on the brink of death, trapped in hot gunk clustered in hives like cattle are the fates of those unfortunate enough to be caught by the flying Tar Shrikes. They swoop down on any fools traveling at night, it doesn't matter if you're moving in a party or alone. Before you know it, silently, the Shrike will attack. Once grabbed you'll be brought to their nest where they'll cover you from the neck down in tar, just enough to breathe but not enough to move. As you cook from the inside out the Tar Shrikes will begin consuming you from the bottom up. Saving the heads for last.
Unknown if they are demons, or beasts a demented sorcerer stitched together, what is known is do not be caught by the Tar Shrike.
