Description
A monster generally created by witches who are looking to hunt down a selected individual. Witches perform dark rituals to bring this creature to life, using the living blood of child Ravenfolk, as their magic line has a sort of "Blood Bending" property to it, and from a child, it is in its most pure form.
Then they chop up various creatures, including humans, and bind their parts together. Because they can control and infuse their bodies via the blood bending, it is a very tedious process to connect the tissues, but also a very beneficial method. This allows them to create a creature exactly fit for its job.
A tupilaq cannot come to life if it made of, well, dead pieces. Living blood is forced through its system, typically cursed (since cursed blood is chaotic and powerful) which brings the being to "life", though it doesn't live very long. Simply long enough to live through its duties. They are not designed to last long, only to get the job done.
This tupilaq, in particular, is made from a human spine/rib-cage, a feline skull, human hair, massive...unknown wings. And contains organs like a human (brain, heart, lungs, etc), though they stop below the ribs, as it won't need longer-lasting functions like bowel movements :T
The pieces continue past the boney pelvis, having long, thing legs with sharp ends to it. It was probably designed to stomp on something or dive onto its prey from the air.
