Flesh flayed, eyes lidless, mind broken, and soul lacking; the Meat Hooked are victims of fiendish or eldritch cults or they may be the cultists themselves. Though they appear to be undead in nature or constructs of flesh with their own skin worn like clothing about them, they are very much still alive in a physical sense of the term. Any sense of sanity, sentience, or consciousness is lost from these beings. They seek not sustenance nor shelter, but only the pleasure brought about from physical pain. Clubs, knives, and whips are instruments of joy upon them; and the only cure for their condition is freedom that death provides. Though only death through more magical or at least unorthodox means is the only way to put these wretches to rest, such as spells or enchanted weaponry.
