Apt is a demon of the Shadow Realm, her black hide bearing the puckered marks of recent battles. She first appears as a silent, powerful guardian, later seen carrying and protecting the child Panek with surprising tenderness. Her elongated head, single eye, and heavy limbs mark her as something otherworldly, yet her actions reveal a fierce loyalty.

Description

Her hide is black and marked with puckered scars, her head long and blunt, her single multifaceted eye slate-grey and glittering. She moves with a heavy, ambling gait on a single forelimb, her wide mouth filled with daggerlike fangs. Her presence is both imposing and strangely watchful.
