A mujina, in its natural form, looks like a human except that it has no face. Where the eyes, nose, ears, and mouth should be is nothing the face is smooth like an egg. However, the mujina can create an illusion to give its face any appearance it wants. It most often poses as a typical human until it decides to attack.
A mujina often joins a party of adventurers as a retainer fighter. It may serve faithfully for a long period, not revealing its true identity. However, if given the opportunity, it robs the players of as much as possible and then flees.
Mujina can speak Common and the language of their kind.1
