Hollow One

Bestiary entry by Aldric Shadowmark, Grand Hunters Lodge

Classification: Void-Corrupted
Habitat: Former settlements consumed by void
Threat Level: Moderate

Description

Once mortal, Hollow Ones are what remains when the void consumes a person soul but leaves the body animated. They appear as normal people until you see their eyes - empty pits of absolute nothing that draw in light.

Behavior

Hollow Ones mimic their former lives, going through motions of existence. They try to fill their emptiness by consuming the essence of others, drawn especially to those who knew them in life.

Combat Notes

Physically fragile but their touch drains vitality. Holy water and light magic effective. Destroying them releases trapped void energy - maintain distance. Sometimes show flickers of former personality that can be exploited.
