Fleshgait

Behavior: Fleshgaits are nightmares given skin. They warp not only their own bone and muscle and flesh but also that of humans that fall prey to the effects of skin-to-skin contact with one of these unholy abominations. Once a fleshgait has touched a victim, its gaze locks onto that individual as its face contorts into a hollow smile. Unless killed quickly, it will begin to twist and bend the contaminated human into anything but what could be called a person. The work of these creatures can be seen sprinkled throughout the world, forgotten by their shapers as they travel endlessly in their forced wretched prisons of flesh. Most victims of a fleshgait are better off killed unless the one whom touched them are dispatched before any perversions of their human form can take place.

Details: Fleshgaits have been discovered to be drawn to humans. Wearing shrouds and robes to hide themselves, some even practice contorting their forms closer and closer to their prey's visage to better walk amongst them. The telltale sign of a fleshgait is that they cannot speak and do not respond when spoken to.
