Kapra

"And to think, we nearly made it. Hunted though we were, terified for our lives and fearful of the deep, resonant chuckle of the hunter, we wandered aimlessly thorugh the dark recesses of an unknow land. When finally we came to what we perceived to be a rent in the world, we took it as an opportunity to leave this hellish landscape.

"Still some leagues from the scar, we ventured forth. As the last of our lightsources dwindled, we finally approached the anomaly. It was then, while we made preparations to step through, that the predator struck.

"Now only I remain, trapped in this realm of fear, unable to leave and unable to fight the thing which pursues me relentlessly. I can only wish for a swift death by it, though I know it will toy with me till the last."

Terrors of the Shadows

Kapra are mysterious entities that wander the darker regions of the planes. Although they resemble an emaciated goat or ibex, the kapra is neither.

Theories on the kapra's origins range from the mundane to the absurd. Some hold that they are descended from fey creatures corrupted by the negative energies of the Shadowfell. Others believe they are born of the sins of mortals, cursed to be hunted by the manifestation of their evil deeds.
