A marrashi, 9, is a type of monster that appears in SpliceHack as part of the gnoll monster class. The marrashi, G, also appears in Hack'EM as part of the gnome monster class. A marrashi is a powerful type of gnoll that is capable of flight, has infravision, and will seek out and collect gold, gems and magical items.
A marrashi has two weapon attacks and a sickness-inducing bite attack, and possesses sickness resistance.
Marrashi are poisonous to eat or digest.
Generation
Randomly-generated marrashi are always created hostile.
In SpliceHack's black market, a marrashi named Kite is one of One-Eyed Sam's assistants.[1]
Marrashi are always generated with several stacks of arrows, one special filth-encrusted arrow, a +3 footbow, and a random defensive item; in SpliceHack, marrashi are also generated with green dragon scale mail.[2]
Origin
Marrashi originate from Dungeons & Dragons, where they are extraplanar evil spirits from the 2nd and 3rd editions that served other beings such as genies in return for treasure or the freedom to spread plagues. Marrashi possess humanoid bodies with the wings and talons of a large bird and jackal-like heads; they are deadly aerial combatants capable of powerful bow attacks, and their arrows were usually barbed and/or treated with a powerful contagion that can kill victims within a day if left untreated.
Growing marrashi spread their populations by attacking with these arrows, then consuming the soul of the dying victim; if the victim's corpse was buried, it would slowly be transformed into a new marrashi within one week, and often retained its previous memories. Marrashi that are summoned often attempt to increase their numbers in secrecy, with the hopes that their offspring would avenge their servitude. Gnoll shamans in service of Yeenoghu once summoned marrashi to spread plagues among Faerûn's avian creator race, which is why the marrashi of SpliceHack are gnolls.
