Witherchild

Witherchildren are gaunt sickly-looking undead monsters that look like unclothed pale human or elven children, and often travel in packs. Their hair is long and hangs low over their faces, the children always crawl on all fours when they travel, though they appear as spiders since when they walk or run, their elbows and knees are raised above than their bodies, which are usually low to the ground.

They are cold to the touch and chill their enemies with unnatural cold when they attack with their sharpened fingers and sometimes their teeth, and can give their foes a nasty case of frostbite should they be touched or grabbed for any period of time. Given their strange affinity for cold, they are not bothered by colder climates and seem to suffer no ill effects from the elements.

Some say that a witherchild is a child who was abducted or lost and died a horrible death, and they live on as undead Revenant-like creatures to exact their cruel revenge on anyone they find.
