Spooktober Day 20 by Smallpoly

Day 20
#Spooktober

It’s now two thirds of the way through October, and I have to wonder… will Spooktober rise from the dead once again next year? You know, I’m not so sure about that. There was a lot more participation last year, and that made me waat to do it again.
.
While it would have been nice to see people competing on the art side as well, I’m glad to see people enjoying the riddles and Mazie going strong on the art side of the challenge. With that kind of dedicated practice I’m interested to see where their art will take them.

The hint for today was “Never say I can’t make friends, just because I’m on on my own. All I need’s forbidden spells, and a pile of bones.” @M3wo_TheLiving_Id1ot summoned this one first.

The answer, and today’s topic, is “Necromancer”

Hint for day 21
“They think I’m bad and not so good. I’m sure I’m just misunderstood. Fur and fangs may seem quite scary, but they makes my smile big and… hairy? No that’s not right. I’ll have to workshop that one.”

--- Final Hint: Less specific species. Trait has to do with personality. ---

Due to the big smile, maybe the cat from Alice in Wonderland...???..I think it is called the Cheshire cat (not sure if I spelt it right though). It has fur and a big smile.
