They wear an overly extravagant plumed hat on top of their powdered wig to hide their boney bald heads and wear glorious green cloaks with bright orange boots and bracers. Their sturdy steeds are brown with preposterous purple manes and are capable of breathing out blasts of ice-cold air. Despite their similarities in appearance to Grim riders, they are distinct and dangerous monsters with subtle differences.
