If a soulbound doll isn't large and strong enough for one's needs, there's the oversized soulbound mauler. An upgrade to the soulbound doll, this mannequin is powered by the entire soul of a sapient creature. Many a necromancer has attempted to use these constructs as a method to live forever, likely as a shortcut around the complicated and ultimately morbid path to lichdom.

Abilities
Personality Cage — A soulbound mauler encapsulates an entire soul within its soul focus gem, with that soul's personality and past shining through along with a confusing mix of fragmented memories and instincts. This causes a soulbound mauler to match the donor soul's alignment and gain the corresponding alignment traits. When the mauler doesn't have a soul bound, it's inanimate.
Eager Rend — The soulbound mauler has a living creature Grabbed.
Effect The soulbound mauler holds the creature it has grabbed and attempts to tear it in two. That creature takes 5d6 bludgeoning damage (DC 18 Fortitude). On a critical failure, the target also becomes Enfeebled 1.

Tethered Soul — The soul focus gem that powers a soulbound mauler is tethered with eight ectoplasmic leashes inside an open cavity in the creature's chest. It can be targeted directly with a Disarm, Grapple, or Steal action. Rather than the normal result of these actions, the soulbound mauler takes 4d6 mental damage and is Stunned 1 on a success; on a critical success, it takes 8d6 mental damage and is Stunned 2.
