The central hivemind of the Shapeshifters. Though each Shapeshifters has their own colonies and entities, they each answer to Elthakar, a Shapeshifter recovered by the Psyflayers that was tamed and taught. Unlocking a latent psionic ability after it consumed a Psyflayer, Elthakar now uses it to control and speak with Shapeshifters across Tharador to bring them sentience and direction. In Elthakar’s death many would resort to their beast-like state void of any intellect.
