A huecuva attacks with its claws. It will fight to the death.

Huecuva are the remains of clerics who were unfaithful to their vows and turned to evil. As such they are condemned to eternal unlife.

Huecuva resemble robed skeletons and may be mistaken for them. Woe to those who make this mistake however, for the huecuva is more than just a mindless skeleton dressed in tattered priestly robes.

The Huecuva first appeared in the Fiend Folio (1981).
