Description
Clapperclaw the scarecrow is 3 feet tall. but now hes a stacked Armored Construct. Created by Granny Nightshade using a tormented child’s soul she found in Gehenna, it ran away from home so that it wouldn’t have to perform evil tasks for her. After fleeing Thither, Clapperclaw was waylaid by Agdon Longscarf and his harengon brigands, who stole its head, which the scarecrow describes as a most glorious stag skull. It desperately wants its head back, and it’s a bit self-conscious about its replacement head: a hollow gourd that now sits askew on its shoulders. Eight copper coins are sealed inside the gourd, causing the head to rattle whenever Clapperclaw nods, turns, or shakes its head.
Roleplaying Notes
Despite the loss of its original head, this child-sized scarecrow retains an upbeat demeanor characterized by its affinity for gallows humor. With its long claws and rattling gourd head, Clapperclaw knows it can be off-putting to strangers, and it relies on humor to defuse tension.
