Fiend Folio's Sarkrith redux

[Chaoszero]

I love the 3e fiend folio and here is my interpretation of one of my FF favorites, the magic hating Sarkrith.

It is hard to make monsters that eat magic in 4e, but I think I did well. Let me know what you think.

Those are both really good mechanics for combating magic power, in my opinion (spell absorption and resist magic). Nice work, and I'll keep them in my mental reserves

These two guys hold a warm spot in my cockles. They wiped out an entire party I was DMing back in 3.5. They'll crap themselves if they see them coming again.
