Sidebar - Additional Lore Faceless Horror
The dalgyal gwishin's most significant physical trait—the lack of a face—is shared with the living aberrations known as noppera-bos. Despite this shared feature and the ability to steal faces, the two creatures don't cooperate and are more often bitter enemies. Anyone slain by a dalgyal gwishin leaves behind an unnerving faceless corpse
