Biography

Characteristics

Physical Appearance

Death Reapers resemble robed figures which lack legs but have a ghost-like tail forming from their cloak, while they float slightly in the air. From what can be seen of their hooded faces, they bear a devious grin and are thin, bony monsters. Characteristic of grim reapers, these monsters always wield a tall scythe in their hands.
