A forsaken shell is a complete skin of a dead creature turned into a malignant undead entity. Forsaken shells seek to multiply killing more and more people, as the skins of their victims come off and become new forsaken shells. Despite their floppy, muscleless natures, forsaken shells are surprisingly strong and strike victims dead with their slaps or even constrict them to death.[1]

As intelligent as normal humanoids, forsaken shells seek to cover up their murders by concealing the evidence of past kills in remote, hard-to-find, or easily overlooked places.[1]

Descriptive Text

Not only can the foul fey flay a man alive. With their malign magiks they can cause the poor wretch’s hide to rise up and wrench the remaining life from him. Although this is done only after the skin has been sent slithering off to deal with the fellow’s family and has returned with the grisly proof of the dastardly deed in tow.
