Vrah
SupportingA massive towering mantis alien with a heavy powerful build and hard exoskeleton. The entirety of her back and insectoid shoulders are covered in a pile of severed decaying humanoid heads attached like grotesque round pustules, with two prominent ones flanking her neck like headphones. Her triangular bug head features gnashing mandibles capable of clicking and a cracked smile, paired with large compound eyes. Segmented arms end in sharp claws used to hold a crossbow or slam into the ground while she moves with sinister purpose.
Vrah debuts in Dungeon Crawler Carl Book 5 as a towering mantis alien hunter whose grotesque exoskeleton is festooned with decaying humanoid heads, embodying the brutal spectacle of the Butcher's Masquerade. Her role quickly escalates from menacing antagonist to personal nemesis when she targets Carl with crossbow and claws, only for Carl to slay both her and her sisters in a decisive confrontation. Familial intervention by her mother Circe Took, who sponsors aid through Diwata, proves futile as the entire lineage is eradicated by Carl's group, sealing Vrah's arc as a short-lived but visceral foe whose vendetta underscores the series' escalating stakes.
