Malvernis is a unique entity within Thedas, it is seemingly a Demon of some kind but even this is not known for certain. Malvernis attacked the dwarves first but eventually came to the surface. Malvernis initially takes on the form of a humanoid mage, with a long black robe with white trim, and a black cowl which obscures its face and is capable of creating spectral Skeletons to attack its enemies. Malvernis is also capable of transforming into a strange spectral version of a High dragon.
