This creature loosely resembles the makings of a squid. Its cone-shaped
mantle is presumably the creatures head region, made evident by a set of
inky black eyes that are deeply sunken and eerily void of emotion or reason.
Twelve tentacles begin at the base of the mantle and stretch -the length of
the average male human- out into a giant canopy that is connected by a
membrane of reddish-pink flesh. When shrouded in the deadly embrace of this
creature, one might look up and notice a gaping, circular mouth that is
rimmed in vicious-looking fangs.
His head is bleeding.
His chest is bleeding.
His abdomen is scratched.
His right arm is scratched.
Overall, a lurker has quite a few wounds.
A lurker is using:
<worn as skin> flesh hide (superb)
