Sticksnare

Sticksnares were the spirits of deceased Barghast shamans ensnared by the protective traps placed about their barrows. Barghast feared the souls of the dead and created elaborate protections around their graves to prevent them from wandering. When the spirit of a shaman managed to escape its barrow it was sometimes caught in the traps set up in a ring around its mortal body and freed to wander the land. Such spirits were not welcome among the Barghast and destroyed when possible. Sometimes the sticksnare remained loyal to its mortal kin and sent dreams to the clan shouldermen and women to warn of danger.Memories of Ice, Chapter 6, US SFBC p.221
Sticksnares looked like tiny human figures made of wrapped sticks, knotted twine, and twigs, and sported an acorn for a head. They were insubstantial in weight.Memories of Ice, Chapter 18, US SFBC p.606/633
