Environment any (extraplanar- Hell) prefers urban environments where children congregate- schools, playgrounds, youth hostels, kibbutz, factories staffed by child laborers, ect.
Organization always solitary
Treasure standard
Binding Needle (Su) The Child Skinner can toss the black needle that it uses to stitch children’s corpses to its own bloated body. A creature struck by the Binding Needle must succeed at a DC 20 FORT Save or be pulled 1d4x5 ft. (1d4 squares) towards the Child Skinner’s space. If the FORT Save fails, the Child Skinner can pull the target another 1d4x5 ft towards it as a free action, once per round. The target gains the grappled condition, but the Child Skinner does not. The Binding Needle’s cord has Hardness 4 and 12 HP and is AC 14.
Killer of Children (Su) Once per round, as a swift action, the Child Skinner can kill an adjacent child without the need of an attack roll nor damage roll. The child merely drops to -1 HP and begins dying.
The Needle Heals (Su) As a full round action, the Child Skinner’s many hands can go to work skinning and stitching the flesh of a murdered child to its own. This requires the corpse of a Small or Medium sized child of any humanoid or monstrous humanoid race, slain within the previous hour to be adjacent to the Child Skinner. The Child Skinner receives the benefit of a Heal spell cast by a 20th level cleric when this action is complete.
Pedophilia Lure (Su) All children of humanoid and monstrous humanoid races who merely come within 100 ft. of the Child Skinner must succeed at a DC 20 WILL Save or become fascinated. While fascinated, the children move at their normal speed and attempt to remain adjacent to the Child Skinner at all times. Even acts of violence against the fascinated children by the Child Skinner or its allies do not break the effect. However, fascinated children receive a new save to end the effect if any adult creature inflicts HP damage on the Child Skinner. If an adult confirms a critical hit against the Child Skinner, the fascination effect ends for all children affected. A child who saves against this effect becomes immune to the Pedophiliac Lure for 24 hours.
The Child Skinner is a horrible, flayed brute standing more than 13 feet tall. The Child Skinner’s obese, sagging form is decorated with the empty skins of hundreds of human and Elven boys, the oldest perhaps a decade old, stitched crudely and haphazardly to the demon’s body. These flayed hides form additional arms, which the monster uses with cruel efficiency in battle. The Child Skinner is asymmetrical- three of its leather arms on one side of the body, and only one on the opposite shoulder.
Reports From The Field
“Child Skinners are outcasts even among Hell’s hierarchy. Unconcerned with power and the expansion of diabolic power, Child Skinners are the tortured, transfigured souls of child abusers and rapists. Become devilish, they continue their depredations, ignoring the summons of their Pit Fiend masters and only reluctantly cooperating with other devils.”
-The Lesser Horrors of the Outer Planes, Volume II
“Over the past decade, nearly five hundred of human street urchins have vanished in the Steamworks Ward, and possibly five times that number of goblin and kobold urchins. While the Civic Guards have raised no cry, I have, time and again! Now, I propose an expedition beneath the abandoned cotton-works at Five Angel Point. One of my best informants tells me there is something down there, of monstrous aspect, but with a sweet woman’s voice.”
-Preacher Zuun Hexagrus, rabble rouser and reformer
“GUARDS RAID THE GOLD FROG CARNIVAL! MASSACRE ENSUES!
Over 100 children dead! Mayor blame demons! Clerics overwhelmed by carnage and temples in
shambles!”
