>>28642357•Mouth: Four large, movable tusks, reminiscent of a bat’s fangs. Can alternatively form mandibles for chewing/ripping apart flesh or a beak for piercing tough shells (or armour). Within lies one long, very thick tongue that is about three to three and a half metres long. It can split into multiple tongues if necessary.
•Eyes: Six eyes, split into two pairs of three. Each is the same shape if slightly larger than a raven’s eye and placed in inverted triangular pattern.
•Head: Quite small and bird like. Has two, extremely long, delicate antennae and two pits for ears. The antennae come from just above the eyes.
•Body shape: Hunchbacked. Has large, seemingly cancerous tissue on right shoulder with a death’s head design cut into it and its flesh seems to be rotting in places.
•Skin: Non-furred. It has leathery skin, like a bat’s wing that is naturally corpse grey. Covered all over in long, winding scars that appear to be self-inflicted. Each weeps a black gunk that gives its body an inky sheen. At the neck, they have a ruff of dark black fur with stray feathers here and there.
•Limbs: Muscly if slight. The Strix’s hands are long, bat like claws which are covered in multiple thorny barbs. Each secretes an extremely toxic poison from the nails and thorns , giving them a dirty, unpolished and slightly green look. It’s legs are slim and insectile, giving them an elegant if powerful appearance and each ends in a raven-like talons.
•Wings: Moth like in shape [

As creepy as possible with a potential undead vibe plz.
