Editing Sahkil (section)

==Breeds of Sahkil==
{{NotFunny Sourcebook}}
Naturally, there are many different kinds of Sahkil, and theoretically there could be an infinite number of different subspecies. So far, these are the ones that have been developed.

===Chakanaj===
Originating from the 2E ''Night of the Gray Death'' adventure book rather than a 1E bestiary, the chakanaj sakhils represent the fear that one's secrets will be revealed. Their miniscule size and vague shape makes them incredibly stealthy, and they can pick up on lies being told in their vicinity without anyone knowing. They can hide on someone's persons without being noticed, and they drive people to great anxiety without them knowing someone else is feeding their discomfort.
If a chakanaj wants to be a bit more on-the-nose about keeping someone in line, they can rest on someone's face as a mask. While mundane in appearance, the chakanaj has whoever wears them at their mercy - able to plunge their razor-sharp legs into their face at any moment.

===Esipil===

Like every other clade of outsider in ''Pathfinder'', sakhils have a breed that a 7th-level spellcaster of the proper alignment with the Improved Familiar feat can call upon.

These three-foot-long bulldog-worms represent the fear of domesticated animals, and the worry that they could degenerate to their base instincts at any moment. Often, they worm their ways into the lives of people (especially evil spellcasters who use them as familiars), and largely act as loyal pets, occasionally having aggressive, primal outbursts. They're more eager to fight than most, and they tend to not rely on supernatural methods of invoking fear in others.

===Ichkoh===

Ichkohs feed on the fear of one's body failing. They taunt mortals who feel they're no longer in their physical prime, or torment those with positive body images. They drive these souls to self-destructive behaviors, often culminating in suicide.

===Kimenhul===

Kimenhuls are the strongest sakhils beneath the tormentors, and represent the fear of failure. They're able to turn the slightest inkling of inadequacy among the mightily competent into a vortex of self-loathing and trauma.
The fleshy tower connecting their three heads to their three legs is constantly changing in shape, and someone who looks into them will often see someone who has caused them pain or trauma in the past, be that through abuse or loss.
Kimenhuls almost always leave indelible marks on the people who encounter them, and they regularly check up on people they've marked to reinforce their burgeoning self-hatred.

===Nenchuuj===
From the ''Ruins of the Radiant Siege'' Adventure Path of ''Agents of Edgewatch'', the nenchuuj is a sakhil that relishes the worry that magic will fail. They are able to show casters all the possible ways that their spells can fail them, and can redirect spells cast targeting them.

===Nucol===
Originating from the ''Book of the Damned'' sourcebook, nucol are sakhils in the shaped of plagued boars who feed on the fear of parasitic infestation and mysterious sicknesses. They plague mortals with diseases, offering to cure them in deals that claim something more dear to them than their physical condition.

===Pakalchi===
[[File:Pakalchi.jpg|left|150px]]
Pakalchis live to see relationships crumble, and are willing to spend as much time as they have to to see a bond be broken. Using manipulation and domination, they find as much pleasure in slowly pulling people apart as they do from dealing massive damage to a relationship with a single spoken word. They enjoy watching the havoc they cause, though they sometimes use third parties to divide people. In the fallout of their destruction, pakalchis take the people torn apart by their interference and finish the job of breaking them.

===Penqual===
Also from ''Ruins of the Radiant Siege'', penqual sakhils take the form of swarms of featureless humanoids, and bunch up with incredible closeness. Their favored fear is that of being lost in crowds.

===Qolok===

The massive bloated bodies of qoloks spread feelings of discontent and fear of lacking. Mortals pulled in by them are driven to gluttonous indulgence.

===Tumblak===
Another variety of sakhil described in ''Night of the Gray Death''. Resembling corpses crushed into a rectangular shape, the tumblaks represent claustrophobia in all its forms, including being crushed and being buried alive. They have an affinity for seeking victims in crypts and ruins, and they make the air in their vicinity thin.
Many tumblaks are susceptible to being repelled by burial rites that ward off the undead. 

===Wihsaak===

Wihsaaks are unsubtle sakhils who preside over the fear of vermin, showing off their ugly forms to all those they seek to bring fear to. They push their victims to commit misdeeds, making them think that the onus of their sins lies with them and not with their tormentor.

Uniquely, when in battle against a group, wihsaaks don't single out targets to frighten and pick off. They try to plague all of their opponents with fear, tearing them to pieces when there is nobody left to resist.

===Ximtal===
[[File:Ximtal B6 PF.png|right|150px]]
Ximtals' domain is loneliness and exclusion. Being mighty members among the painfully edgy sakhils, they abhor goodness, and they manipulate the allies of the great and virtuous to discredit and isolate them. When faced with those who proactively work for the cause of good, ximtals seek to burn everything they work for to the ground.
While almost invariably working alone, cooperating with the similarly relationship-breaking pakalchis allows these sakhils to tear apart massive organizations.

===Zohanil===
[[File:Zohanil B6 PF.png|right|150px]].
Zohanils haunt those who fear needles and invasive medical procedures, and push their victims to addiction.
Basically, they are that guy offering drug-laced candy that only exist in your parents' imagination.
They make excellent pushers.
