"That isn't a candle, is it?" Prison Guard, shortly before his death.

The beheaded looks like a thousand zombies. No, really. The beheaded in its true form is a mass of plantlike material, rolling around with a glowing light for an eye. The beheaded inhabits corpses, turning them into vehicles for its own use. The beheaded takes the physical appearance of any corpses it inhabits with one exception: it's head. The head of the beheaded is always a mass of shadowy material which flickers like a candle flame, with a burning dot of orange light at its centre which seems to function as an eye. Some, alternatively, have a single giant eyeball instead of an orange dot.

It is unknown whether the beheaded is the only one of its kind. As such, no details about its society are known. It is presumed that the beheaded is solitary and that no others like it exist. Its personality is... odd, to say the least. It is kind and uncaring in equal measures. It cared enough about the tyranny of the King to seek out and kill him, but it is cold enough to leave the few living prisoners on the island in their cells, and it is capable of carrying out horrendous slaughter with no remorse.

The beheaded has no name, it is simply the beheaded. Sometimes it may develop short and underwhelming names like Bob, or Steve.

Over the course of a minute, you can integrate and inhabit the corpse of a Small or Medium humanoid creature. While inside this corpse you are considered the corpse and can move around as if you were that creature, though none of your game statistics changes. You have advantage on Charisma (Deception) and Performance checks to pass yourself off as that creature. As an action, you can jettison yourself from the corpse to a point you can see within 30 feet of you.
