Scarecrow

Scarecrows are minor spirits of Fear who have possessed the straw-stuffed bodies of these common farm implements. Because Scarecrows are often creepy and unsettling, they have naturally attracted beings associated with Phobos, and so a few Scarecrows have been animated by the energies of a spirit of fear. 
== Facts: ==
-Scarecrows aren't really a danger to a seasoned Adept. A few Scarecrows have enough wits to utilize certain farming tools, such as hoes, sickles or hatchets, and so can pose a serious threat. These smarter Scarecrows have even been known to lie in wait, posing as regular scarecrows and luring in Adepts so as to get the drop on them. 
-Scarecrows are creatures of Fear and so they feed on Fear. Every year, there's a spike in the number of possessed Scarecrows as Halloween comes around and people take haunted tractor rides through the fields, giving themselves the frights (and inadvertently fueling Phobos). 
-Fire is extremely deadly to Scarecrows. While a Scarecrow is essentially a possessed inanimate object, the possessing spirit will lose its hold if the object itself is damaged enough. And because Scarecrows tend to be made from straw, this means that even a few sparks can completely undo a Phobos spirit's jaunt in the material world.
