This creature, unlike many other Harvesters, has a large steed that allows it to pursue any fast un-dead.

The steed has four long toes tipped with thick hoofs that give the creature great speed and stability when it chases after its prey. It also give the creature good footing on almost any surface, even loose stones and bark chips.

Four arms help the creature to seize the way-ward animated dead. Massive blades grow from the fore-most arms, helping the animal to impale and disable prey. The other pair are long fingered hands, to clasp prey and giving the creature time to maul the zombies with it massive jaw.

The jaw is filled with sharp amour piercing fangs. Long tusks produce from the beasts maw, allowing the creature to knock people clean off their feet. The horns growing from the upper and lower lip allow the creature to stab prey in the spine, crippling them and preventing them from going any further. The tongue acts like an extra arm, able to grasp objects and shoot out with bone crushing force, snapping limbs and cracking skulls. Spines grow from the front of the tongue, and are extremely sharp, like blades.

The spine is extremely twisted, with bits of flesh peeling way to expose the bone beneath it. The ribs form a thick barrel-like shape, which bellies the thinness of the rest of the steeds frame.

Smoke is constantly twisting from the steeds nostrils, but it simply remains attached to the creature, constantly twisting and changing colours. It is unknown at this point, if the steed is able to breathe fire.

The rider is far more thing, and lank, though this is covered by the dark robe the creature is clothed in. The arms producing from the riders shoulders can summon balls of dark magic, which it can fling at wondering undead with terrible accuracy.

The rider also has a long feathery tail, and head, with a jagged burnt-orange beak. Like the majority of other Harvesters it has a mask obscuring its face. Another two sets of arms produce from the riders tail, one has long fingers that edged in poison that paralyze victims. The other arms end in large gaping mouths that bite and snap slowly.


This Harvester relies more on its steed, but it is thought that they are actually the the same creature, as they communicate with each other without any see able movements, thought to have a telepathic link with each other.

The Flesh Steeds bird is found on a perch on the tail, and its tail resembles the riders, but with only three extensions. The feathers are a rustic brown, with other shades mixed in.

Like every other Harvester, The Flesh Steed has a legalized sheet of parchment which allows the creature to hunt the more active undead, and has custody of its steed.

This has got to be my favorite Harvester yet! It's just so detailed...and creepy. I like how the rider seems to merge into the steed. When all of these are finished it would be a good idea to do a size comparison chart thing, but that's just my opinion.

Maybe you could do the silhouettes (spelling?) of them and put them next to each other in a line?
