In Japanese folklore, a gashadokuro (literally "starving skeleton") is also known as Odokuro (literally "giant skeleton"). In truth, they do not starve, but they are quite monstrous. Created by powerful necromancers, liches, or bone forgers, a gashadokuro constitutes the assemblage of many skeletons. Pieced together like children’s building blocks, the dark magicks fuse and animate the bones. They can have many arms, be shaped as humanoid or not, and be as tall or short as the conjuror desires. Bound to their creator’s will, they wreak havoc without fear or remorse and have no sense of identity or self preservation.
