Yama started life as the first mortal,
but so impressed the gods with his
ability to cause destruction that they
made him an immortal.
He appears to the world with green skin,
copper-colored eyes, and wearing red robes.
He enters battle wearing armor
of etherealness.
His +3 mace hits for 2-12 points of damage
per strike.
He uses a +5 magical noose as a weapon
when he rides his giant water buffalo,
which strangles those he catches in
3 melee rounds, no matter how many HP they
have.
He has acquired the ability to CAST any
MU's spell as if he were 20th level as
long as it does damage to his enemies.
His red robes are an artifact in themselves
and have the following powers:
they give him 100% magic resistance,
they negate all damage from heat;
cold,
and light sources;
they prevent him from being surprised from
any
source by flashing red 2 melee rounds before
any attack;
and they allow him to fly and travel in
the water as fast as he can move on land (15").
Yama is the judge of the dead:
based on the record of a man's deeds in
life,
Yama decides which plane he will go to
after death (in the case of those who worship a member of this pantheon).

This beast can carry 2 gods dressed in full
armor without strain, and it
moves over land, air, water, or space with
ease. This creature can pull any
weight not attached to the earth. It is
slavishly loyal to its master, Yama,
and because of this will not allow itself
to be used by others. It fights as a
16+ HD monster, goring for 4-40 points
of damage, and can obey
complicated orders from Yama.
