Description
Entity 362, or the Necrotic Skinner, is theorized to be a relative of the Skin Stealer. Instead of wearing the skins of wanderers, it stalks prey, then finally strikes by morphing it's amorphous "hands" into fingered appendages, and developing microscopic needles that inject droplets of fluid separating skin from the body, where it will then tear it off your body with no damage to the skin or the wanderer as it runs off back where it hides.
Behaviors
Necrotic Skinners are incredibly violent creatures and will kill any wanderer mercilessly with its bare claws. In the reported stages it is said to exist on,
Biology
Necrotic Skinner are tall, pale and fleshy skinned with sunken crimson eyes and thick, rubbery skin. Their backs have yet another flap of skin, which they open and close revealing a compartment with needles inside that stick to skin until the Necrotic Skinner takes the skin and coats it in a gel-like substance it secretes to essentially petrify it until needed. Skin-givers can also form a much worse quality, tapestry like skin that can bind to entities in the event of too little skin, but there has to be natural, torn off skin on the entity to fully revive the entity.
A Necrotic Skinner 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.
Discovery
Sightings of Necrotic Skinners 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, as well as the levels in the 2 recordings being unidentifiable.
