Very Rare | Medium | Neutral Evil | Aberration
Null Beasts resemble sleek, eyeless hounds with matte-black, shimmerless skin that seems to drink in the light. Their lean forms ripple with tension, and they move without a sound. Psionic activity causes them visible agitation, their form twitching with hungry anticipation.
