Homebrew Living Flesh Construct Species Details
A living flesh construct is a composite creature made up of humanoid body parts joined together, similar to a flesh golem, yet instead imbued with true life, free will and a soul (or possibly multiple souls derived from each of the creatures that make up its various body parts). The secret of their construction is well guarded by the Monks of the Way of the Long Death, and how any have managed to transcend nature to become a truly living creature is a mystery beyond the understanding of mortals.
