Every Altara is essentially identical: a tall, beautiful woman with slightly pointed ears, a shaven head, and no eyes. Almost every Altara a person might encounter is a servant of the dread Splugorth, extradimensional horrors who control the continent of Atlantis. They are typically encountered while wearing their distinctive “uniform”: a one-piece skinsuit, an eye-covering helmet, and various deadly weaponry. In the field, Altara are almost always accompanied by a Slaver or one or more Sunaj assassins.
