Skinless Screamer
It is not doing this to you. It is doing this.
zombie · Challenge rating 6
Still alive. Nobody has ended it yet.
Behavior
It is not doing this to you. It is doing this. The distinction matters for understanding what it is, and does not matter for being near it. Proximity is the mechanism. It does not track or target — it just continues.
Appearance
Has the proportions and movement of someone experiencing something extreme but continuing to operate through it. The sound is constant. The expression is constant. Neither is aimed.
Physical description
Human-shaped, mid-height, hunched forward at the neck and shoulders. Skin entirely absent — exposed red-glisten musculature and yellow fascia over visible ribs and joints, wet and shining, no visible eyelids or lips. Jaw locked open in a fixed rictus, throat vibrating with a continuous raw scream. Moves in stiff, jerking lurches, arms rigid at odd angles, never turning toward sound.
