Description and lore
A skinless horror advances with raw tissue exposed, its breath carrying sickness and dread. Wet footsteps announce the terrible physical presence beyond the doorway.
Raw tissue shifts beneath the horror's exposed surface. Every movement has the terrible intimacy of a body without skin.
Its breath arrives before it closes the distance. Damp air carries the smell of sickness into the space around it.
