The Mindskinner is a nightmare on Duskmourn.
Description[ | ]
The Mindskinner has a spider-like appearance with thirteen clawed feet lined with spikes, an eyeless face, and a large toothy maw that breathes out a blue mist filled with screaming faces, surrounding a metal arch that crowns its head like an unhallowed halo.[1]
History[ | ]
The Mindskinner embodies the fear of razorkin. It's the first nightmare spawned from something within the House itself rather than a preexisting fear from before Valgavoth's ascension. Unlike other nightmares, which simply devour their victims, the Mindskinner is more insidious in its hunting tactics. When it latches onto its victim, it slices away the target's memories one by one until nothing remains but an all-encompassing fear that shines like a beacon and makes any chance of escape impossible. The only way to protect yourself is to have your glimmer nearby. This will keep further memories from being sliced away, though it can't restore the ones already lost.[2]
