Monster Trove for Seasoned Adventurers
Scrollskin Horror
Medium
About
A flayed scholar wrapped in living scroll-skin that copies any spell it sees by bleeding fresh ink across itself. It lashes with paper-thin edges and studies every casting in the room with horrible attention. Cast near it twice and it hurls a crude, stolen version of your own spell back in your face - though fire takes it apart fast.
