Skull Kid

Physical Description
Legend tells that whenever a young child enters the forest unattended, they will become lost and be transformed into a shadow of their former selves: a Skull Kid. There is some speculation over the truth of this, as they do not retain any features that their former child-like state would, but regardless, the creatures exist. Skull Children tend to stay within their woods, as they are granted all a manner of power while in and near their forests, but some may venture outside to sate their curiosities. Rarely do Skull Children interact with adults from any race, and when they do it tends to be actively hostile. Skull Children posses a particular fondness for wind instruments, though no-one quite understands why.

Skull Children have a strange appearance, with skin that resembles either straw or wood and glowing red eyes. In some cases, Skull Kids who are changed at night retain aspects of this- gaining a shadowy texture and strange beak. Generally they tend to be short, as tall as a humanoid child with longer arms.
