Sahkil

Source Monster Core 2 pg. 274
Ages ago, when this cycle of the multiverse was in its adolescence, a coterie of psychopomps who felt bored and restrained in their role of ushering souls to their ultimate resting place rebelled against their station. It was this violation of the cycle of souls that transformed these former psychopomps into the first sahkils.

These fiends have drastically changed from their dedicated psychopomp predecessors. Ambivalent to the prescribed order of the multiverse and hateful toward all mortals, sahkils delight in spreading fear and unease to all, clogging up the metaphysical cycle with anxiety-ridden mortals too scared to achieve their potential. They're creatures of spite and torment, fear and disgust. They exploit both the most common and rarest fears for their own perverse satisfaction, utilizing whichever is most effective for their current victim. They want nothing more than to frighten mortals into a distraught and wretched state that makes them question the very reasons for their existence and will utilize all the tools at their disposal in pursuing this goal.

Most sahkils lurk on the Ethereal Plane, but they frequently invade the Universe to torment mortal targets and spread terror. They use their innate ability to slip between the veils of the Ethereal Plane and the Universe effortlessly, often stalking their prey for days or weeks before enacting their devious plots.
