Completely intact skins of sacrificed cultists that prowl through back-alleys and dismal passages in search of victims. They are not undead; these things did not die in the course of being removed from their original owners and if they continue to prey upon others, they might even be immortal.
The wet, sloppy touch of a Skin Taker drains one point of Constitution on each successful attack, and if the victim is reduced to zero, the Skin Taker will attempt to transform their victim into another of these despicable creatures as their skin is removed through an arcane ritual taking one hour (6 Turns). If the ritual is disrupted, the victim's skin will blacken and shrivel into dust. The remainder of the victim's flesh might be recoverable through some sort of magical intervention, but those resurrected after such an attack often lack their outermost layers of skin. Survivors of a Skin Taker's assault usually regain their Constitution after 120 minutes (12 Turns).
