Reaper

Reapers are companions to annis hags, feasting on some of the unneeded remains of their skinned child victims. Known for haunting forests inhabited or once inhabited by the twisted creatures they tend to serve, these beasts love nothing more than to hunt and eat young humanoids.

Created, not Born. Reapers are created through a sick ritual in which an annis hag combines three of her iron tokens into a winter wolf's very flesh and bone, warping the creature through magic into a powerful minion which seeks only two things: to obey its master, and to sate its neverending hunger.

A Mother's Touch. A reaper will always have various quirks about itself that make it seem more "beautiful" in the eyes of the hag which owns it. What these quirks will be will depend on the hag in question, as they are the ones to inflict these upon the reaper, but it is not uncommon to see reapers with bones bound to its body, fur matted by blood and poisons, or decorated with various iron objects with notoriously grim or sick histories.
