Animated by loneliness, the embittered spirit binds itself to the material world in a body made of bits and oddments of a lost childhood—wooden blocks, scraps of blankets, ratty dolls, buttons, carved trinkets, and glass marbles. To give themselves the semblance of a head, they top their patchwork bodies with a small animal''s skull. Attic whisperers most frequently lurk in old infirmaries, orphanages, and other such institutions where children were forgotten, and they lay dormant for decades in hopes that they might one day find a playmate to ease their eternal loneliness. When they sense the living, attic whisperers attempt to lure them into their clutches by calling out to them using the voice of a small child. Though attic whisperers intend only to play with those they encounter, they drain the breath and voice from living creatures as their dark impulses take over. **__Recall Knowledge - Undead__ (__Religion__)**: DC 19' hp: 60 hp_misc: negative healing immunities: - death effects - disease - paralyzed - poison - unconscious languages: - Common - Necril level: 4 melee_attacks: - action_cost: One Action damage: formula: null type: 2d8 piercing name: jaws plus_damage: - formula: null type: steal breath to_hit: 15 traits: - agile - finesse - action_cost: One Action damage: formula: null type: 2d10 negative name: bony hand plus_damage: - formula: null type: steal voice to_hit: 13 traits: - agile name: Attic Whisperer perception: 10 ranged_attacks: null saves: fort: 8 fort_misc: null misc: null ref: 13 ref_misc: null will: 12 will_misc: null senses: - darkvision size: Small skills: - bonus: 11 misc: null name: Deception - bonus: 10 misc: null name: Society - bonus: 13 misc: null name: Stealth sources: - abbr: Bestiary 2 page_start: '28' page_stop: null speed: - amount: 20 misc: null type: Land spell_lists: null traits: - Undead
