Gorewrap

Boo Hoo Hoo, it's the brothers two. Cut and chop and poke they do Fear their smiles, those brothers two. They lie and cheat and hurt they do. Hide in the shadows, those brothers two. Skulk and bleed and eat they do.-Children's schoolyard song, Source Unknown

Gorewrap

The Gorewrap is a thinner, gaunt and sickly looking version of its counterpart, the Gorewalk. Similar in appearance, it's limbs are longer and bony, with far less muscle mass, but wrapped in flapping skin and oozing veins that puncture and rip with every move. The Gorewrap prefers to envelop its victims as opposed to crushing and tearing at them. This horrific ability allows the creature to swallow a victim whole, subjecting them to any damage that the Gorewrap suffers. If the creature is not released in a timely fashion, it is rarely seen again.

Characteristics

These creatures are a terrifying vision of the macabre and to gaze upon one is to know the foulest mechanisms that drive undead abominations. They appear as humans with missing skin, their muscles pulsing and bulging with blood, wrapped in hideous implements of torture that pierce the skin, but seemingly cause no harm to them. Instead, it amplifies their horrific appearance, exposing the inner workings of a mortal body but perverted into a disgusting form of gored undead flesh, grinning all the while as they writhe in agony.

History

These monstrosities are often the subject of children's nightmares and scary bedtime stories, but these tales did not arise from pure fiction. Legend speaks of two young brothers, one strong, hearty and proud. The other, weak, sickly and craven. They were despised by other children for their unnatural behaviors, namely enjoying acts of cruelty. It started with the killing of small animals, then neighbor's pets started disappearing. The other children tried to tell their parents, but they were ignored, because the brothers always behaved when around adults, and almost seemed to know when others were watching. Then one day, a particularly brave little girl who had been known for standing up to their acts of cruelty mysteriously vanished. While the parents searched in vain, the children of the small village took it upon themselves to solve the problem. They ambushed the brothers and overwhelmed them, dragging them into a cave several miles from the town, beating them half to death with rocks and leaving them there. Undead wear rumored to frequent that cave, and when the two boys never came back, the children assumed the matter settled. Three months later, the entire village was consumed by a pack of ravenous undead, except for the group of children who had banded together. They were dragged off to the caves in a large bloody sack by two peculiar fleshy, undead beasts. The large, strong one with pulsating, bloody muscles carried them over his barbed shoulder, while the smaller, gaunt and sickly one grinned wickedly, poking at them with his bony hands.

Culture

These creatures have no known culture of any particular type, as they are only seen when attacking, and never choose to explain their actions, instead attacking anything they can find that has a pulse. They seem to favor children as victims, perhaps because they are easier to terrify than adults.
