Manikin
aka Masked Manikin
Decription
These advanced puppets were given life by the Baneful Queen, and she uses them to lure unsuspecting fools into her traps. Once upon a time, the Manikins had heads, but the Queen ripped off their faces in a fit of rage. Watch yourself, or yours will be next.1
A fickle queen gave them life, and tore off their faces. How else could she forgive those who dared gaze upon her?
The peculiar art of puppetry is a vestige of the two lost lands. A queen breathed life into these dolls with
the very miasma that afflicted her poison-drenched bosom, so that she would have slaves to serve her temperamental will.2
