Description
Small and squat this vaguely humaniod walking stump is aptly named. The appendages on its body are spindly with protrusions of thin, tall branches coming from the to of their heads. Eighteen inches in height leer get around with utmost silence. They have two small points of green light for eyes. No leaves grow from their body or head and their bark-like skin looks dead. Their body seems lifeless and hollow somehow, like a swift kick would shatter the summoned beast to dust. It's said they are the watchers of Veratelle, whose lips whisper in the ears of the Old Ones who guard her death chambers. Slow and methodical, they are nearly unable to be told apart from common strata in wild environments.
Temperament
Expressionless, immobile, demure, observant. They make good travel companions and are quite subservient. Prefer the dark and tend to stick to the shadows like their mother, Veratelle, the dead one, taught them to do.
Contract
Three days, leer are a naul class archetype.
Abilities
Silent, yet slow, these creatures are weak and take a long time to do anything. They can spit a poison, aiming for the eyes, a surprising distance. The poison is vibrant green in color and tends to stick to the wearer like jelly and glue mixed. If gotten in the eyes it will burn them, rendering the foe blind. Other places of exposed flesh will be burnt as well. The poison in reality is low quality and only needs minor treatment. Similar to the effects of mace.

Description
Standing at four feet tall and weighing around one hundred pounds this Tar'haen isn't anything to scoff at. Wielding a staff this creature's stench is pungent from the sap and poison which ooze and steam off of its bark covered hide. The body of an Eso looks to be wrapped, dead branches spiraling and interlocked around each other. On its face is a mask made of stripped bark engraved with runes a summoner would recognize on a deeper level, though not be able to describe their meaning. The runes glow and shudder while the holes where eyes should be are dark, lifelessly so. Some say the mask's resemble a skull. There is never a mouth on the mask.
Temperament
With no mouth it never speaks, but is completely subservient to its master, often befriending them. It uses gestures and can only answer yes or no questions, but it never seems to want to go back on its master. Shows aggression to people without the Cardinal Rune of Summoning infused to their flesh. A common habit among the Eso is to shake their head to one side as if it's on a spring. They also pound their chest from time to time. One thing to note is these curious, spritely beings tend to love objects that shine, glow, or glitter. Attracted to things like jewelry, cutlery, or coins but hide from flame.
Contract
Six days with an eight day cool down in between. This is vrannik class and costs a moderate amount of ether.
Abilities
Covered in poison from head to toe, the poison is not like an acid but instead makes the flesh rot and burn away with infection should it come into direct contact with living or dead flesh. Eso will wipe the staff with their body secretion's and beat people with it. The main attack of this creature is physical, using martial arts to incapacitate its foes. Coupled with the poison makes this a summon good for body guarding or guarding valuables. It's clearly aggressive to others though would never directly attack someone unless it was warranted.
