Slyardach

A hideous, foggy-looking creature capable of disguising itself in shadows and moving with utmost silence, the Dindae Slyardach serves the evil animist Lhachglin, an agent of Sauron's in Mirkwood's northern reaches. Constrained by the Dark One's will to serve the whims of the animist, this Demon serves as messenger and envoy to the troops of Orcs and Spiders that guard Sarn Goriwing, the animist's fortress, from a distance. Presumably, the Dindae would also make an excellent assassin. Disturbing to look upon because of its vagueness of form (anyone beholding itconstantly must strain their eyes as they gaze, con- vinced that there is something in that mist; actually, of course, the Dindae is the mist), this Demon is in addition a sadist given to sneaking up on thingsandhalf-stranglingthem,then leaving them to jump at shadows forever after.
