Skin-Givers
VIEW SOURCE
Entity Number: 362
Class: 6
Habitat: Majority
Description
Entity 362, or the Skin Giver, is theorized to be a relative of the Skin Stealer. Instead of wearing the skins of wanderers, it puts them onto the dead corpses of entities and brings them to life, acting as a hive mind to use the entities for it's own pursuit. It has been found with a group of Skin Stealers at a time, using them to collect skins for itself, which it drags along in a slouch. It is found incredibly rarely in any level Skin Stealers are found in, but withers if there are no wanderers it can take skins from.
Behaviors
Skin-Givers are incredibly violent creatures and will kill any wanderer mercilessly with it's bare claws. In this stage, they will just be hostile until you aggravate them. In a hunger state, they will seek out humans wandering alone and will then use their strength to nimbly rip off the skin on their bodies, where in some cases the human is still alive, without skin. As of such, it is incredibly dangerous to even make a noise lest it sees you.
Biology
Skin-Givers are tall, pale and lavender humanoids with sunken crimson eyes. Their outer layer of flesh is covered with microscopic needles similar to the spines of a cactus. These stick to skin that is torn off humans, until the Skin-Giver takes the skin and coats it in a gel-like substance it secretes to essentially petrify it until needed. Skin-Givers can also form rudimentary hands to further place skins onto dead corpses more easily.
A Skin-Giver can use telepathy to trance you into coming near it. If you hear this, you're dead either way. If you run, it will ambush you with other Skin Stealers, or if you come towards it, your fate is sealed. This makes them incredibly dangerous overall. If the telepathy doesn't work and you show absolutely no signs of knowing what is happening, it will retreat, but Skin Stealers will be alerted towards your presence. Other methods skin-givers use Is they will call you a sussy baka until you become insane.
Discovery
Sightings of Skin-Givers are next to nil. Due to it being nearly impossible to escape, only two sightings have ever been made, both wanderers being killed shortly after the recordings have been made.
