The Jachyra are beasts that were imprisoned even before the creation of the Forbidding. They are known for their awe-inspiring strength and for their ability to kill even the most powerful of beings. Among the creatures' victims are Allanon, arguably the greatest of the Druids, and Garet Jax, the legendary Weapons Master. The Jachyra reappears centuries later when Grianne Ohmsford transforms a wolf into a creature of similar appearance and abilities.
