[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5271601, member: 57383"] [I]A glowing, semi-transparent skeleton suddenly appears, cackling horribly. It pulls its head off its shoulders and tucks it under an elbow, without interrupting its frightful laughter.[/I] Galley beggars are undead that appear to have no purpose in life beyond terrifying mortals. Neutral galley beggars are content merely frightening their victims, but evil beggars delight in driving their victims to death or madness. A galley beggar looks like the ghostly skeleton, often dressed in equally spectral clothes. They are able to detach and reattach their heads at will. Headlessness has no effect on a galley beggar's abilities, but any creature who sees a galley beggar pull off its head will be affected by its frightful appearance, due to the unnatural horror of the sight. Scholars believe these undead were once fey, who are now driven to torment the humanoid races who inhabit their former lands. Galley beggars delight in pranks, malevolent tricks and bizarre antics - they are known to steal or rearrange an intruder's possessions while they sleep, and one famous galley beggar liked to toboggan down its town's high street every night. Galley beggars can speak Common and Sylvan. [B]Combat[/B] Galley beggars can neither appear or attack in daylight, so only pose a threat at night or underground. They use their frightful appearance at every opportunity, often by suddenly appearing (either by leaping out of hiding or dropping their [I]invisibility[/I]). A hostile galley beggar may try to injure its enemies by unleashing a deathly shriek. [/QUOTE]
