Homebrew Frankensteinian Creation Species Details

An amalgamation of at least 8 corpses, stitched, bolted, and stapled together, then brought to life in an Necromantic ritual calling upon Otherworldly power. Even though they were brought to life in a Necromantic ritual, they are not an Undead. These corpses can only be of the same race, and must be of similar height and weight. Most Creations are roughly the same mentally, being of an almost child-like curiosity and intelligence. However, most Creations respond to others with rage and fear. This is due to their terrifying visage, which has an effect of irrational fear toward most individuals. Only the most innocent (children), or the depraved (their Creators) can withstand their presence. Otherwise, you have to roll a save verses Fear. When confronted by Clerics or Paladins, they will sense the mark of Evil upon them, but will know that they are not truly Evil. Clerics and Paladins regardless of level will usually feel pity, sorrow, or confusion when encountering a Frankensteinian Creation. After all, they never asked to be made. Most priests of gods of Life and Law will attempt to order the death of one, due to their origins, but most Clerics and Paladins will refuse to do so. Siting the Creators as the ones at fault. Most Creations usually end up living remote and lonely lives, due to how most individuals treat them. Despite their race, most Creations are quite clumsy and walk stiffly, due to their bodies having once been corpses. to try and fix this issue, most Creations wear thick and heavy boots. Due to their child-like mindsets, most can easily be tricked or coerced into doing acts of evil. This becomes harder to do as they get older and obtain more experience with the living world. 

Credit for this idea goes out to all books, plays, musicals, and movies that depict The Frankenstein's Monster.
