Species: Lamenting Scarecrow

Family: Ghost

Risk level: None

Weaknesses: Fire

Description: Those are but simple ghosts of farmers possessing scarecrows that used to be on their farms. When said farmer dies of grief, in situations where they lose their family, most of their lifestock, their plants catch on fire or some high ranking noble takes their land there is a chance that they will stay to protect their territory. Even in that form they can't do much but repel animals and weaker monsters. Still, any future owner of that land will hear their sobs and cries unless properly exorcised. After prolonged contact they can also experience mild halucinations showing entities walking through the farm.

Personal notes: "Not all monsters are bad by nature. Of course it doesn't mean that we shouldn't be vary near them. Monsters are, no matter in what form, not natural. In the case of ghosts their life is tied to the earth by strong emotions and remnants of life energy. That's why not only spirits of normal people but also joined together fragments of their remnants can stay away from the afterlife. It is in our great interest to help them move on, since in practically all cases every single second for them is a pure agony." Priest Genah, Church of the Afterlife
