    Rawhead and Bloody Bones is a nursery terror assembled from butchered remains, a flayed skull, and every warning about looking beneath the stairs. It lives in cupboards, pits, and the unused spaces under a house, becoming more complete as frightened witnesses describe it. The creature preys on secrecy and isolation, especially when adults dismiss what a child has actually seen.

    Special Attack

    From Beneath the Floor: Rawhead emerges beside one creature within 30 ft and makes its 3d8+4 strike. The target makes a Mind save or becomes frightened for 1 round.

    Special Defense

    Open Every Door: exposing every hiding place to bright light prevents From Beneath the Floor. A creature that publicly believes the first witness removes its DR for the encounter.
