The Fleshwalker

Concept

Accursed creature that assault the lonely, cut their front open, while they still live, and force their way inside, closing the flesh behind them like a door, only a tiny seam visible upon close inspection. They now puppet the living flesh of their victim, for safety, for food, for otherworldly purposes.

Background

If occupied, one of the few clues are that of the oracles; when dream sharing, can find the victims in a single dream, screaming and wailing, only screaming and wailing. such is the pain of the occupied.

A kiss is how she births her children. In the flesh of others they grow, unnoticed, until the vessel perishes. Afterwards the children will crawl out of their flesh and seek their mother.

Currently the Fleshwalker has been hidden within an elder of the community for ages, and has as such gone into forgetfulness, and it is when the elder passes from old age, that it emerges yet again, and quickly finds refuge in one of the priestesses, only thing is, a child was witness, unbeknownst to the Fleshwalker.

  • Hides and sleeps within the bodies of others
    • At the end of the sleep, they often consume their vessel from within.
  • Is seldom stirred, when awake they assume control
    • If their host is injured, they can consume those injuries to keep the veil
    • A woman falls of a cliff, strangely survives the fall, but changes her attitude afterwards

Aesthetics

  • Tall, clawed and accursed
  • Looks like a nervous system & muscles without bones – Very tall, bent, fraying, inhuman.
  • No recognisable organ
  • Has a physical form made of… something, probably flesh.
  • Many “arms” and “hands”

Teeth

Concept

A sickness of teeth is spreading – driving the afflicted mad with suffering and pain. A manifestation of hurt or malevolence.

The teeth grow painfully out of skin, through eyes, tongue and throat.

Aesthetics

The teeth are all the same, a sharp wolf/shark like triangular shape. Pure white, perfectly shaped, no damages when they erupt.

Teeth can erupt slowly over days and weeks, or rapidly over hours, even minutes.

Reference

No visual reference because its f#ing disgusting.

Real world

Brain: Yes, that’s correct…the BRAIN! Fully developed teeth were found in the brain tumor of a 4 month old baby in Maryland, USA. The brain tumor was removed and fully developed teeth were found in the tissue of the tumor.

Lungs: An 18 year old boy named Miguel Balcon had a cyst removed from his lungs at the age of 18-years- old. Once doctors removed the cyst and inspected it they found not only teeth, but hair and eyes in the basketball size growth.

Eyes: A 23-year-old female in India had a tumor removed from her left eye – it had been a birth abnormality that continued to worsen with age. After the swelling got so severe her vision was declining and the tumor was removed. What did they find in it? Not one, but two fully grown teeth. Amazingly disgusting. That wasn’t the first time teeth had been found growing out of an eye…there are over 70 documented cases from around the world!
