Description
Also known as a Sparagmos, found in swamps and near burial sites- some say they were created by an ancient death cult to devour the corpses and flesh of those whom stand against them in swarms. Other put them as the souls of lost infants and small folk reincarnated after famine.
In truth, their origin is unknown, they sit as rounded masses of hair flesh topped with a large hungering maw- held aloft by 4 spindly legs- moving from area to area devouring any bit of flesh they can find and regurgitating it into more of their kin.
