Nontraya is the Chaos deity who slew Ernalda. He created the talokans, demons that serve his priests. He is one of the two Chaotic gods of undeath, with the other being his rival, Vivamort. He rides a great horned wolf, and is sometimes called Nontraya Demon Wolf. His priests ride giant wolves much the same way.
Empowered followers of Nontraya may tear the flesh from their skulls, becoming Skull Lords.
