Hey all, making another Homebrew monster (Group really loved the Bone Hunters I made last time), but this one i'm a little more iffy about. I was a bit more loose with this one. The idea behind this one is an unholy mixture of fey and necrotic energies. Comments, input, and advice are all welcomed.

Please note that the biggest part i'm unsure about is the rotting gaze.

Is there a reason it's named after the Sumerian hero/demigod from the epic of Gilgamesh? It seems to have nothing to do with him.

Honestly, I was struggling for a name and I sometimes like to borrow names from other places, and I saw the epic of Gilgamesh and decided Enkidu sounded right.
