Grave-Bound Gutsinteraction

While within 100 feet of its vrykolakas's burial ground, an afziaka appears in the natural shape it had when it was a regular animal and can eat normally. When farther away, it doesn't gain sustenance from eating food and eventually starves to death.

Hunger Pangs

A creature damaged by the afziaka's fangs must succeed at a DC 22 fortitude save or become Enfeebled 2 for 1 minute. The creature can remove this condition earlier by consuming at least a handful of raw meat.

Trample◆◆◆

Medium or smaller, hoof, DC 23 reflex


An afziaka brute arises from a horse, bull, or other large animal.


Vrykolakas vampires use animals as tools to carry their spirits when they would otherwise be slain. The animal usually dies as the vampire is reborn, but some live on in painful starvation.
