Rakshasas are a race of malevolent spirits encased in flesh that hunt and
torment humanity. No one knows where these creatures originate, some say 
they are the embodiment of nightmares. The only way to describe their form
is that they are humanoid tigers, with hands whose palms curve backward, 
away from the body. Most of the worlds rakshasa are evil, but recently 
many have decided to stop their tyrannical living and become adventurers,
although they still retain their fondness towards the great sandy wastes 
of their homeland.
