Fleshwoven are small, grotesque constructs created through an occult ritual native to Shadowcroft, but one that Dracula and his underlings quickly adopted. The ritual of fleshweaving involves taking a physical portion of a creature - this could be something as small as a fingernail clipping or lock of hair - and binding it to a sheaf of straw. Over the course of the ritual, the fleshwoven creature takes on the vague appearance of the creature that contributed to the ritual. This appearance does not fool anyone; the fleshwoven is about the size of a halfling regardless of the contributing creature, and it still is obviously made from a substance that looks like bloody straw. | Fleshwoven are small, grotesque constructs created through an occult ritual native to Shadowcroft, but one that Dracula and his underlings quickly adopted.

Once it is created, the fleshwoven supernaturally knows exactly where the contributing creature is at all times, or knows what plane of existence it is on if it has traveled across planes. For this reason, fleshwoven are often used to track down escaped prisoners, political rivals, and the like. | Once it is created, the fleshwoven supernaturally knows exactly where the contributing creature is at all times, or knows what plane of existence it is on if it has traveled across planes.
