Flayed Knight
Flayed Knights are a horrifying apparition of a once-glorious knight whose body has been grotesquely flayed and stripped of its flesh. Its skeletal form is adorned with the tattered remnants of once-regal armor, now stained with the memories of its violent demise. Brandishing its rusted and blood-stained blade, the Flayed Knight unleashes unholy fury upon any who dare to cross its path. Its spectral weapon cleaves through flesh and bone with ease, leaving behind a trail of death. The Flayed Knight is an embodiment of suffering and vengeance, driven by an insatiable desire to exact revenge on the living.
