Rumours[]
The stories about him are as old as the Hungry Forest itself. The only confirmed story is that he earned his name by tailoring clothes out of the skin of his human victims. He moves clumsily, like a bear.
He has a bearded, dirt-caked face, his eyes were blank, like the eyes of a dead man, his teeth yellowed, his adversary not very tall, and his clothes at first look like poorly tanned leather. The fingers on his left hand ends in broad blades, each as long as a dagger. The blades on the right were as long and lethal, except these were slender and pointed, like sewing needles. Both hands had a finger missing because his other victims tried (unsuccessfully) to defend their skins
