Aliases: The Bone Digger, The Light Seeker, Palehand

Description:

Skeletal humanoid form dusted with fine salt particulate. Eyes burn with faint amber light. Carries crude tools formed from calcified organic material. Constantly shedding dust and minute mineral flakes.

Nature and Behaviour:

Obsessively seeks “living light” — believed to be remnants of fae souls or captured solar essence fossilised in crystal seams. Digs endlessly through the crust, occasionally freeing photoluminescent entities.

Can be communicated with briefly; speech consists of fragments of old miner dialects. Expresses fascination with colour, claiming it is “the only wet thing left.”

Containment Protocols:

Classed as low-threat unless disturbed. Avoid presenting strong light sources; it may attempt to claim or consume them. Protective goggles mandatory due to particulate emission.
