Evil spirit-possessed scarecrow that stalks and terrorizes the living
Sometimes during its creation a living scarecrow may become possessed by an evil spirit, becoming a Dread Scarecrow. These malevolent creatures take delight in seeking out and tormenting the living by inducing terror. During the day it hides in the fields as a normal scarecrow, but during the night it stalks, looking for unwary prey. In all respects it looks like a normal scarecrow except for the deep red-orange glow from within its pumpkin head and frightening visage.
A dread scarecrow is immune to fear (morale of 12), but has a self-preservation instinct. Use the morale of 8 to determine whether a dread scarecrow decides to flee from combat if it is outmatched or outnumbered.
