Avatar of Death

Adversaries Designed by Wolf

Adversary overview

The avatar of death is a ghostly humanoid skeleton clad in a tattered black robe and carrying a spectral scythe. Summoned from the deck of many things.

I made this for the deck of many things by Trev on heartofdaggers.com. This Avatar of Death is somewhat based on the Oracle of Doom NPC.
