Fearmongers are spirits that feed on the ambient fear and guilt of their humanoid targets. Their true form is unknown, for a fearmonger always takes the shape of its target’s greatest fear. When in the presence of multiple humanoids, a fearmonger will take the shape of whichever fear is the strongest. The spirit prefers to harass its target over long periods of time, eventually driving it to madness or forcing its target to kill themselves. Sometimes, the fearmonger will deal death directly to drink the soul of its victim.

 Though a fearmonger can shapeshift into nearly any form to suit its target, it cannot do so flawlessly. A fearmonger’s shapeshifting is always slightly imperfect — facial features might be just off-centre, a smell might be out of place, or a sound it generates may be just off-pitch.

 A fearmonger can wreak havoc in population centers, leaving multiple bodies in its wake. Identifying and slaying a fearmonger can prove especially difficult, as its shapeshifting nature naturally misleads potential witnesses, causing paranoia and confusion.
