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.

- 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
