Characteristics
Nail blighters are beastly bipedal anthropomorphic reptilian or fish-like manic monsters with red, slimey spotted skin and preposterous purple fins on its back. True to their name, their most distinguish feature are the incredibly long and sharp nasty yellow nails on their hands, which they use to rip into foes and dish out high damage.
