Ultimate predators who feed on psychic energy and life energy; even constructs and the undead are not immune to the hunger of these abominations. So fearsome are these creatures that the Elder Race destroyed the original homeworld of the Vintehl in a failed attempt to exterminate the species. These terrible creatures were responsible for the extinction of countless civilizations, including that of the Elder Race. Each "individual" is a gestalt organism, composed of a Core and up to thirteen Vintehleen (hence the fear of the number 14). In their immature form, the Vintehl are fearsome enough, able to depopulate entire cities in a matter of hours. In their mature form, they can drain entire planets are sucked dry of vitality within a day, and even gods, demons, and the Great Old Ones will fall are not immune to the insatiable hunger of the Vintehl.
