Kagekuma

Creature 8 (rare) — fiend, nindoru

Kagekumas exist in the periphery, lurking in the very shadows of their prey. Known in some regions as "shadefiends," this nindoru's ability to appear as uninteresting figures in the crowd allows them to feed even in populated areas. A kagekuma appears as a hunched over humanoid with a long neck and a fanged mouth, but when wearing a bundle, the creature's head and neck tuck in tight between its shoulders to become entirely obscured.

Abilities

Soul Shred — Creatures killed by a kagekuma are difficult to bring back to life or animate as undead. The kagekuma automatically attempts to counteract any attempt to resurrect or animate as undead any creature that it has killed (counteract modifier +16, counteract rank 4). If the kagekuma who slew the creature is slain, the creature can be brought back from death or become undead normally.
Manifest Bundle (concentrate, occult) — Frequency once per hour Effect The kagekuma manifests a large bundle of straw, reeds, rope, yarn, hair, or the like, all lashed together with cords and strapped to their back. The kagekuma's AC increases to 27 as long as their bundle remains manifested, but their Speed is reduced to 15 feet.
Ruin Wielder — When a kagekuma wields a broken, non-magical weapon, they don't take any of the disadvantages of the weapon being broken. While the kagekuma wields it, the weapon becomes a +1 striking weapon , and it deals an additional 1d6 mental damage on a successful hit.
