the common deathspeaker

Figuring out what these guys viewtopic.php?t=646103 look like, and what they are.

...no idea what to do with them but here you go

From the Travels of Aurelian:

The Common Deathspeaker may seem initially to be a brute of a beast. Often wearing skulls, these intelligent creatures often make long, wailing calls in the night, though they can communicate in common tongue, by what means, we are not sure.

With a typical diet of mushrooms, lichen, and small animals, prey are scooped up by the Deathspeaker's long tongue - by some estimates, over five feet fully stretched - and devoured whole. Their mouths are circular, lined with several layers of needle-sharp teeth. Though this is their most striking feature, Deathspeakers are typically modest. In Figure 1 we see a Deathspeaker interrupted from putting on his veil and skull head-dress, using his prehensile tongue, which is the usual way a Deathspeaker manipulates objects in the world around them.

Local lore is rich with tales of Deathspeakers. Although some have psychic powers, the majority do not. But many are clever charlatans who can perform a false seance with ease, giving rise to the name of the breed. Elf populations in the forest consider all of these prophecies to be completely true and certain and often consult with the Deathspeakers after the death of a loved one. It is also a popularly held superstition that seeing a Deathspeaker without their veil or helm brings bad luck that usually manifests as death in the family.
