Skinstitch

CR 5.00 Construct N Large
This hulking thing is a patchwork of rotten cloth and grotesque skin, with stray bits of straw poking out the seams.

A skinstitch is a crude construct made of cloth, leather, hides, and skins sewn together into a roughly ogre-like shape and stuffed with hay. Skinstitches are usually created by a spellcaster lacking the power, talent, or gold to craft a flesh golem.

A skinstitch's stuffing juts out of gaps in the sewing and the mouths and eye-holes of its component faces, giving it a horrifying, ragged look. Swarms of vermin and other creatures often find refuge within the straw, and the magic of this construct grants swarms nesting within its body amazing regenerative powers. Despite its appearance, a skinstitch is strong, tough, and agile, though its components make it susceptible to fire.

A skinstitch created with material from specific creatures, such as dragons or fire giants, may gain additional abilities appropriate to that creature.

A skinstitch's body is made from leather and cloth costing at least 500 gp.
