Abilities

Pest Haven — The rotting hides and molding straw stuffing of skinstitches are ideal nesting grounds for vermin and insect swarms. Any animal swarm sharing a space with a skinstitch gains fast healing 3. Additionally, if a creature deals at least 10 piercing or slashing damage to the skinstitch at once, the swarm can use its swarming bites Strike (or similar attack) against the attacker as a reaction.
Flay — The skinstitch makes a blade Strike against an animal or humanoid. On a success, the skinstitch slices a long strip of flesh from the target; if the skinstitch dealt damage, it deals an additional 1d6 persistent bleed damage.
