Sorta when the Barely discernible Stalker rather than in D&D, restrict crafted quite than summoned from another point.

A tupilaq is a magical turn out created by the shamanistic Clerics of tribes inhabiting the glacial regions. They take humanoid bodies with hurtful heads, spherical eyes, and spread-out shark-like mouths, and suggest of decomposed flesh. The rituals for creating one are regular scarcely to these tribesmen, and are not collective with outsiders. The tupilaq is created from a preference of cane parts, hair, shell and bones engaged from sea and land nature state to the district, as well as the center of a whatsoever or demi-human child. A tupilac, gone created, moral fiber assistance its writer by hunting down one prey or group of related losses and killing them. Tupilaqs can be outdone with spells and magic armaments. A tupilaq can be turned against its writer by a "dissipate evil" spell. If the tupilaq fails a Control vs. Spells, its writer becomes its new subject.
