The zaraths employs mind corrupting treats and measured tactics to gain access to a veritable horde of corrupted children from which it feeds its ravenous appetite for the innocence and raw emotions of children. Additionally zaraths are able to eavesdrop through any children it has under its control gaining valuable information which it uses to trade for protection or plot its next move, ever increasing the amount of children it holds under its control.

A Subtle Evil. It is unknown what causes a zarath to manifest, many have proposed children feeling unwanted and uncared for assist in their manifestation but there is no definitive evidence to support this claim. When zaraths first manifest on the material plane they often prey on the urchins of cities. Cleaning up the streets and seemingly doing the city a service until it sets its sights on children whose parents hold a higher station.

Sacrifial Tactician. While zaraths show a perverse love for their corrupted children they often times are willing to cut deals with those searching for the release of a select child. Releasing the sought after child in return for gaining a number of harder to reach children they have had their eyes on. Though if trade does not work the zarath will not hesitate to sacrifice its children to defend itself. Relishing in the moral turmoil caused as the corrupted children defend the zarath to their death. Strangely upon defeat and banishment back to where ever zaraths come from they always release a blue liquid substance similar to their corrupting treats. When fed to children corrupted by that zarath the substance will return them back to normal. Their memory left with a gap from when the zarath took them until their release.

Reclusive Operators. Zaraths always keep a secret room in its lair where it is able to relish in the innocent experiences and emotions of its children away from the view of others. These rooms are often well furnished and hold any trophies or mementos of past favourites or troublesome individuals it has dealt with.
