The Suckling Terror

The Suckling Terrors are servants of the Singing Man. They are native to his terrible half-world, and are only rarely seen in our world. The Singing Man's worshippers have often embodied links to Suckling Terrors into clay figurines taken to be fertility totems by many anthropologists. When one of these figurines is brought into the influence of the Singing Man, the Suckling Terror linked to it is drawn forth, oozing into existence out of the figurine, almost like a dread cloud that solidifies into obscene flesh.

A Suckling Terror appears to be a thick, almost limbless fleshy mass that writhes and flows with horrific sinuousness. It's skin is slick and leatherlike, unbroken by features save for its terrible rounded mouth. The mouth is round but mutable, surrounded by rings of powerful muscle that allow it to grip and cling. Within, a nest of writhing, hoary tentacles can be seen very faintly.

A Suckling Terror attacks its prey by stalking it, then rushing to envelop and entrap it in it's fluid bulk. It then fastens it's mouth to it's victim's body and rasps away the skin and flesh with the tentacles within. By the time the Suckling Terror is done, there is nothing left but polished bone.
