Your claws are natural weapons, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with them, you deal slashing damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.

You have an innate Cantrip names 'Rotting Gaze'. This takes 1 action to task, and can target 1 creature within 30ft of you. They must make a Constitution saving throw (8+your Intelligence modifier+your proficiency bonus). On a failed throw, they take 1d8 necrotic damage; on success they notice your attempt. To be able to cast this cantrip, your eye can not be covered in any way.

The damage increases by 1d8 when you reach 5th level (2d8), 11th level (3d8), 14th level (4d8), and 17th level (5d8).

You gain proficiency with the Insight skill. Additionally, as an action, you can target one creature you can see within 30 feet of you. The target must contest its Charisma (Deception) check against your Wisdom (Insight) check. If you win, you magically learn one fact or secret about the target. The target automatically wins if it is immune to being charmed. After you use your Weird Insight trait, you can't use it again until you complete a short or long rest.

Once per long rest, you are able to cast a version of 'True Seeing' spell. This allows you to have 'True Seeing' effects within a 5ft cone originating from your eye for 12 seconds, it also requires Concentration. To use this ability, your eye can not be covered in any way. The time it lasts increases with your level, when you reach 5th level (18 seconds), 11th level (24, 7ft seconds), 14th level (30 seconds), 17th level (36 seconds, 10ft)

You have two creature types: humanoid and aberration. You can be affected by a game effect if it works on either of your creature types.

Due to your appearance, if you are uncloaked people that fear your appearance naturally will run away or attack you, though it is not immediately. You can talk out of the situation depending on the context and environment. If you cover your hands, legs, back spikes, mouth, and eye ; creatures will not suspect you unless they are within 5ft of you, and can only know if they choose to Investigate your body. While your eye is covered in this way, your racial traits cannot be used.

Due to how your body now functions, you gain much less fulfilment from non-rotten foods. While you can still consume them, they would reduce your hunger at half they normally would, and give you a bad stomach for a day. Rotten meat is preferable, but fruits and any other perishables will do. You can drink normally, diseased liquids can still infect you.

You speak, read, and write Common, and Under common.
