description: 'The bythos is a guardian of space and time, and at all times seeks out
  those who misuse planar and temporal magic. A bythos is a roughly humanoid creature
  with four arms and a body made of swirling clouds and mist. Despite its appearance,
  its body feels like dry stone. A bythos seeks out paradoxes caused by irresponsible
  planar or dimensional travelers and repairs breaches where the barriers between
  planes have become thin or damaged. If the mortals responsible remain in the area
  and cannot be convinced to cease their activities, the bythos has no qualms about
  removing them. Using its ability to manipulate time, a bythos might cause an opponent
  to quickly die of old age as time speeds up around them, or cause a target to disappear
  from time and space.
