Denizens of Leng are residents of the mysterious and alien Plateau of Leng which lies just beyond the borders of the material plane. While they have a generally human shape, on close examination it is clear that they are far from human.

Appearance
At first glance denizens of Leng could almost pass for human--they have two arms and two legs, they are about five and a half feet in height--however on closer inspection they are clearly alien in nature. Their legs end in cloven hooves and their bodies are covered in horn-like protrusions. Most alien of all are their mouths which are comprised of tentacles and polyps that open in ways that human mouths do not.[1]
It is not known whether the denizens of Leng were originally a race from the material plane, or if they were always an entirely alien race. One notable fact about their physiology is that their bodies are made not of flesh and bone but of some substance that imitates these materials. As a result, the denizens of Leng don't bleed. Instead, when they are cut, the blood simply flows straight back into the wound. Any body part that is severed quickly dissolves into a pool of filth.[2]
Habitat & Ecology
Though denizens of Leng can primarily be found on their home plane, the Plateau of Leng, they are also found frequently on the material plane. They possess incredible intelligence and a strange insight into matters normally mysterious to mortals. Because of this combination, denizens of Leng can be found advising both leaders and madmen, though interestingly, they have also been known to aid the weak and seemingly insignificant. Few try to fathom the complex plots of the denizens of Leng.
Abilites
- Disrupt Flesh
- The bite of a denizen of Leng warps the flesh of the bitten into horrible new shapes that disrupt the creature's dexterity.
- Gift of Tongues
- A denizen of Leng can speak any language it hears spoken for at least a minute.
- Planar Fast Healing
- Denizens of Leng are always connected to the Plateau of Leng from which they can draw planar energy to heal themselves. Also, if a denizen is killed on any plane apart from Leng, rather than dying, they are merely banished to Leng unable to return for a year.[1][2]

In Golarion
The denizens of Leng have a thriving trade supplying luxuries to the intellect devourers of High Ilvarandin. As a result, their black galleys are a common sight on the Irikusk River.[3]
