Editing Skulk (section)

==Greyhawk==
When updated to 2nd edition in the Greyhawk Monstrous Compendium Appendix, skulks had... literally not changed a bit since the WD/FF days. To the point of ignoring later FF, not that ''that'' was unusual.

The first change in skulk lore came when they received a writeup in the [[Dragon Magazine]] article "Legacies of the [[Suel Imperium]]", which postulated that skulks might have either been created as assassins by said Imperium, or else might be connected to the Suloise Goddess of Treachery and Deception, [[Syrul]]. They were portrayed with a slightly greater bit of nuance, but still the same cowardly thieving murderers.

The final depiction of skulks came in first the 3e Fiend Folio, and then in the 3.5 Races of Destiny. Here, at last, they received a new backstory as members of an underprivileged caste within a lost empire whose resentment ultimately led to them using powerful magic to draw power from their "untouchable" status, transforming them into a race of human chameleons who then went on a murderous rampage against their oppressors and who basically haven't stopped since.
