A halfling that becomes lost and dies in the Plane of Shadow turns into a grievian, doomed to suffer a grey and emotionless existence. The form of a grevian twists over time the longer they spend in the plane; the oldest grievians look the least like their former selves. Their heads grow bulbous and disproportionate, their bodies become emaciated, their skin turns mottled and grey, and their nails extend into gnarled claws. Grievians linger at shadow crossings between the Plane of Shadow and the Material Plane, hoping to come into contact with the living, halflings especially, so that they might once again experience something resembling joy, even if only by proximity. Such experiences are impossible for the grievians, however, not only because they are no longer capable of such feelings, but also because even if they were, their mere presence drains the life force from any living creatures nearby. While a grevian may initially attempt conversation with the living, they quickly grow frustrated and attack when their efforts are not reciprocated.

A grievian doesn’t require air, food, drink, or sleep.
