In the
Exile/
Avernum series of
adventure games, the
Nephilim are a species of
feline humanoids. Though native to the
surface world, they were long ago banished to
Exile by the
Empire. They live in
tribes, often led by
shamans or by members of the stronger
Nepharim breed. While a large number of Nephilim remain "wild" and prey upon the human Exile population through
banditry, many have become "civilized" and allied to the Exiles.
Nephilim tend to be very dexterous, and favor the use of missile weapons in combat.
