Totenmaskes are undead that arise from particularly sinful beings whose need for indulgence is stronger than the grasp of death.

Appearance

Totenmaskes are gaunt humanoids with a moldering coloration. Their heads consist primarily of fanged jaws and their fingers are long, spindly claws.

Habitat and ecology

This section is a stub. You can help us by expanding it.

Abilities

Totenmaskes have hollow, needle-like claws, and by striking a creature with them they can siphon off a portion of the target's flesh and memories. After a totenmaske has "sampled" a creature like this, it can assume their form and use it to carry out their sinful desires. However, a totenmaske's stolen forms gradually rot upon its fetid carcass, requiring it to regularly fleshdrink victims to renew its alternate form.
