Raggedy Spirit
Dolls are creepy. Kids with dolls and vacant, empty eyes are creepier. Possessed dolls are even creepier than that. So what happens when you a have a willful child who dies and comes back as a ghost and his favorite toy happens to be his creepy doll that in life he carried with him everywhere? You get what those in the “biz” call a “raggedy spirit.” Raggedy spirits are no different from other “plane-locked” spirits (those who can’t affect the material world at all), except for the fact that they can animate toys – typically dolls. Worse, they can merge the toys into a cohesive whole producing nightmarish amalgamations of Teddy Ruxpin proportions. Resembling nothing more than dozens of dolls, teddy bears, and other toys seamlessly melded together – it might seem cute until it shreds your jugular and you bleed out on the floor. Even worse, they can separate into their toy components or form a child-size humanoid shape… The following statistics are for the spirit’s corporeal form (which is considered a magical construct). For its spirit form use the statistics for the Astral Entity metatrait (p. B263), but add Possession (Chronic (Onset, Exposure Time, 1 week, -40%), +12%; Puppet Only, -30%; Reliable 3, +15%; Specialized, Toys only, -60%; Spiritual, -20%) and Telekinesis 20 (Accessibility, Toys only, -60%; Animation, Non-flying, -30%; Cosmic, DX equals ST of object, +100%).
