[Commissioned by @coldbloodassassin. Fridays are for commissions, at least for now. I have five commissions left to get through, so that will get me into November. I had more when I announced my switch to a MWF schedule, but I have had a falling out with a person who made many commissions. So they’ve been canceled and refunded, and I won’t be working with them again.

The títere here is unique to this comic, and relies on a bit of linguistics from Puerto Rico. The word “ títere” can mean either “violent man” or “marionette”. So this títere is both. I was inspired by its wooden design to make it a scarecrow +, and am continuing to use my tsukumogami rules to apply to creatures other than yokai.]

Títere CR 9 CN Construct (tsukumogami) This immense being looks something like a distorted wooden marionette. Its head is oversized and filled with blocky teeth, it has four arms and a dozen skittering, spider-like legs. As it moves, its joints creak and pop unsettlingly.

A títere, sometimes called a “thug puppet”, is a form of tsukumogami washed in blood and steeped in fear. They are created from humanoid inanimate objects, such as dolls, marionettes and scarecrows, that are ancient before being present at the scene of a murder. The force of the killing empowers the nascent soul developing inside of the object to dramatically change its body, transforming into a centipede like horror of wood and cloth. These creatures often haunt the sites of tragedy and crime, attacking trespassers, investigators or those coming to pay respects alike.

Although they are not inherently evil, títeres are violent and untrusting. They consider a brutal beating to be the first and best solution to most problems. The sound of their limbs moving unnaturally fills those that hear it with fear, and their very touch causes a temporary, panic-induced catatonia. A títere typically wears layers of mismatched and ill-fitting clothing, some the original scraps of doll clothes or old scarecrow pieces, others the trophies taken from their victims. These layers give them some physical protection, but in combination with their wooden composition make them very flammable.

Most thug puppets remain at the sites of their creation, rendering them legend-haunted, mysterious places. They tend to get along with the undead better than living creatures, and a títere may act as a guardian for a colony of ghouls or wights on the outskirts of civilization. Others range forth, and as they learn about society and witness other crimes become obsessed with violent vengeance. These títeres may act as vigilantes, although they often lack a sense of scale and punish minor transgressions with deadly force.
