A grotesque human body moves like jelly. Its split-open front reveals the creature has no bones.
Husks are the opposite of skeletons: undead made entirely from tissue.
Waste Not. Powerful necromancers create husks from the leftovers of corpses used to animate skeletons. The creation of husks and skeletons at the same time allows a necromancer to create two undead with a single corpse.
Undead Nature. A husk doesn’t require air, food, drink, or sleep.
