The Sin-Eater

The Sin-Eater is an internet urban legend much like the likes of Slenderman or The Rake.

Lore
According to the original story of the Sin-Eater, it is a monster that was summoned by all the people in the world that have been wronged, such as people who have been scammed or even murder victims. Whether it is actually them (or their spirits) or if they are simply manifestations is unknown. What the Sin-Eater itself does changes depending on the story, though in most it devours the "sinner", hence its name.

Trivia

 * The Sin-Eater's description changed quite a bit in early stories. In the first story, there was no description, in the second is it said to be "some sort of humanoid with mouths all over its body", and in the third, it is said to be "like an inside out worm." The third story's description is what is usually depicted when the Sin-Eater is described.
