Millions f years before the rise f the humanoid races,
o
the rakshasas of Eberron ruled a civilization that
spanned Khorvaire. Masters of combat, the rakshasas
of Eberron wield their weapons with demonic fury, rush­
ing into battle seeking vengeance against those who
bound their fiendish masters.
Rakshasas are described in the Monster M a nual. A
martial variant-the zakya rakshasa-is presented here.

ZAKYA RAKSHASA
Zakya rakshasas are the bloodthirsty foot soldiers of
the rakshasa horde. They are driven to free their fiend­
ish rulers, seeking vengeance against the dragons and
those who revere the couatls. Unlike other rakshasas
with their luxurious robes and fineries, zakya rakshasas
are almost always clad in battle gear: well-worn scale
mail, a razor-sharp longsword, and a heavy shield bear­
ing the emblem of their demonic master.
