Scavenger
Scavengers are the result of the Binding of a Sylph to a cadaver. The bones of the face distort and protrude into the shape of a beak, like that of a vulture. The fingers extend and appear like rotting, featherless wings. Scavengers perch from tree limbs, headstones, statues, and rooftops; any convenient surface except for the ground. They can also fly with expert maneuverability. Their elemental nature grants them the ability to summon thick, rolling fog, as well as assume a mist-like form. Scavengers feast on those unfortunate enough to lose their way in the fog. They can be found in aboveground cemeteries, ruins, and mountains.
Flayed
Flayed are the result of the Binding of a Gremlin to a cadaver. A crude metal plate is nailed to the face, and entire swaths of skin are peeled back and pinned open, revealing the musculature and sinews beneath. Fingernails are elongated and metallic, and the creature is wrapped with barbed wire and links of chain. They are covered in streams of dried blood. Flayed are deeply unsettling to behold. They delight in the torture and disfigurement of their pray. They can summon chains and entrap their quarry. They can be found in dungeons, mines, sewers, and other out of the way places filled with metal.
Soiled
Soiled are the result of the Binding of a Gnome to a cadaver. The creature is decorated in pebbles, and many hunks of flesh are replaced with grave dirt. Earthworms and grubs crawl through the Soiled's body. Their eyes are replaced with shiny gems. They can swim through earth as easily as mortals can through water, and they can perceive any creature that touches the ground. Soiled can be found deep underground, especially in crypts and caves. They cannot stand being under an open sky, and above all else, they seek the profound silence of stone at rest. Any creature disturbing their slumber will be devoured.
Flame Wraith
A Flame Wraith is the result of the Binding of a salamander to a cadaver. Once the body is burned and the flesh charred and blistered, the eyes become glowing embers. A Flame Wraith is gaunt and smoldering, with a wheezing cough, and the smell of seared meat. Flame Wraiths harvest the living in cleansing flames. They can spontaneously ignite fires around themselves. They can be found nearly anywhere, especially in deserts, near volcanoes, and within burned-out ruins.
