Description
The Writhing Flesh is an amalgamation of living and dead flesh that was grafted together using magic. This particular monster also has a gemstone grafted to is that contains psionic energy, which can be used to link the minds of the Writhing Flesh. Any living flesh that is grafted to the Writhing Flesh becomes under its control as the brainwaves from the living creature are nullified by the Writhing Flesh. Dead flesh is controlled by grafting the dead nerves to living ones, allowing a transmission of electric current to dead and dying muscles. At the center of this Writhing Flesh is a host, a person who willingly underwent the grafting process and exerts control over all flesh that was grafted to them. The shape of the Writhing Flesh is completely up to the host to take.
