This humanoid is about the size of a human but seems thin and gaunt; the creature's sallow skin gives him a skeletal look. He has long hair the color of drying blood, arranged in loose braids studded with beads. He wears an elaborate, but functional, breastplate, and he carries an equally ornate and deadly greatsword.

Githyanki soldiers exemplify the grim attitude of their people. They approach their roles with ruthless efficiency.

Githyanki soldiers are resourceful combatants who disdain simple frontal attacks. They prefer to fight on their own terms and at times of their choosing. Before a fight, soldiers activate their blur abilities for an extra defensive edge.
