Made from elemental magic mixed with necromancy, a flinthusk can only be created from a humanoid that died by falling off a rocky cliff or into a ravine. Jagged, razor-sharp stones protrude from the dirt-caked flesh of a flinthusk, each one embedded deep into its skin and causing it to bleed out. Its eyes are as glassy as two dark jewels. The penetrating smell of rotten meat mixed with foul earth emanates from a flinthusk, causing pain to all who breathe it in. The undead menace can shake the earth around it with a pound of its stone-bladed arms, potentially knocking the opposition right off their feet. Undead Nature. A flinthusk doesn't require air, food, drink, or sleep. |
