A Shedu is a strange creature, appearing as a winged bull with the head of a human. They are quite intelligent, speaking their own language as well as the languages of humans, elves, and dwarves; however, they can use telepathy as an innate ability and usually choose to communicate by means of direct psychic contact.
Shedu are naturally benevolent creatures, and seek to aid those in need first and foremost; they seek out and battle evildoers only when absolutely necessary.
