Homebrew Beheaded One Species Details

Beheaded Ones are shrouded in mystery, And the fact that they cannot speak doesn't exactly help. They appear to be a perfectly preserved and walking dead body, the head and neck replaced with an ever-flowing smoke like substance with a shining light where an eye of a cyclops might be. Beheaded Ones are usually found in an isolated location, enjoying the beauty of nature.

Beheaded Ones strive to make the world a better place for themselves and everyone else. (but mostly themselves) Their favorite hobby is striking down injustice, whether it be corrupt leaders, extremely influential and evil gangs, or just your everyday petty crimes. Once, a Beheaded One was asked why it wanted to destroy all evil. It replied in sign language, "Evil is loud. Loud is bad. Evil is bad." Nobody knows what the Beheaded One meant by "loud."

Since most cannot speak, Beheaded Ones are usually given nicknames from other people. A Beheaded One name can range from a silly name like Bonkers to a relatively normal one like Joe (So you can pretty much choose any name)
