Screamer

Very little is known about this strange, and twisted species of mutated beings. They are thought to be sexless, and so do not repoduced themselves biologically, propagating their kind by the destruction of other life-forms instead. The corpse of any Human, or Humanoid creature killed by a Screamer will metamophisize into a screamer the night fall following the day of death. The only way to prevent this is to completely destroy the body before the change takes effect. From mere wounds inflicted by a screamer, however, one recovers in a normal manner. Screamers were some of the first horrors encountered by survivors of the Holocaust that brought a sudden end to the Social Wars.
==Attributes==
Screamers appear as emaciated, and shruken humanoids with yellowish-grey skin. They are usually clad in the rotting remains of what was once normal clothing. Screamer heads are virtually hairless, and their faces have disappeared, mutated, and melted into a glistening, featureless mass of sickly-colored flesh. Only a formless, cavernous, toothless mouth is still discernible. From this mouth comes the moans, shrieks, and howls that give that creature it's name. Though unable to communicate verbally, and seemingly not capable of rational thought as we understand it, screamers appear to have a highly developed, instinctive sense of balance, and direction. Radiation causes a screamer to emit a bluish-green glow, the brightness of which varies according to the level of screaming maintained by the creature.

A Screamer can only absorb so much life force in a day, and this energy leaves them with in 24 hours. This power is none selective when used, and drains both ally, and foe alike.
