Marut
In islamic mythology, Marut and Harut were two angels sent to Babel and Babylon to perform magic and try to convert the wicked people (who were later judged, anyway). In hindu mythology, Maruts are storm deities, the sons of Rudra and Diti, and attendants of Indra.
In D&D, a Marut is a kind of Inevitable - beings of Ultimate Law and Retribution. Made of black stone, a Marut hunts down and judges those who have cheated death, whether through false immortality, necromantic magic, or just somehow dodging their fated Time. One fun thing to do in a game is to require that your players use miniatures and a map in town, and then just stick the Marut mini there, and start moving it. BUT... it's actually going after some random NPC, not them. Watch the panic begin!
