Voodoo Doll

Voodoo Dolls are creatures who appear in Wyrd Games’ Malifaux universe.

Description
Small humanoid beings made from stitched-together sackcloth, rags, and old buttons, and animated by the dark magic of soul stones, whether Voodoo Dolls are actually sentient creatures or not is open to debate, although they are found regularly in the service of Neverborn Master Zoraida, and act upon her every whim.

When Zoraida is called upon to fight, she will employ these little creatures against her enemies. They will toddle off on their own, seemingly nothing more than innocent, albeit raggedy, teddy bears. However, once they near one of their masters’ opponents they will act, stitching themselves (sometimes literally as well as figuratively) to the target. From this position, the Crone may more easily cast her magics upon the poor unfortunate through the Voodoo Doll, which may be anything from direct damage to something a little more subtle, such as a mental command to wander closer to that heaving blob of swamp muck. ..

Whilst deadly in that they allow Zoraida to directly affect a target in any location, the Voodoo Dolls are fairly harmless on their own, and are easily dispatched by most regular methods.
