This beastie was my entry for A Sword for Hire's "Here Be Monsters" contest.
This red-skinned, goblin-like humanoid peers
out from behind a veil of greasy black hair with rheumy eyes. It appears to be
emaciated and a caustic substance drips from its ridiculously long tongue.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Irritation (Ex) The filth that coats an akaname is highly irritating to all other creatures. Any creature damaged by an akaname’s claws or tongue, who deals damage to an akaname with a natural weapon or unarmed attack, or who otherwise comes into contact with an akaname (including attempts to grapple the creature) must make a DC 13 Fortitude save or break out in an itching rash. A creature affected by this rash takes a –2 penalty to Dexterity and Charisma for 1 day (multiple irritations do not stack). Remove disease or any magical healing removes the rash instantly. This is a disease effect. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Often thought only to be the substance of old wives tales meant to compel children to clean the laundry and properly dispose of night soil, akaname are surprisingly real. These slight creatures revel in filth, and will not even approach the premises of an immaculately clean household. The only thing akaname hate more than cleanliness is light; they flee from it by whatever means possible. Akaname are very territorial, and after locating a particularly filthy demesne will fight to protect it; though not to the death. Grime is not particularly difficult to find in the world, and not viewed as worth dying for. All forms of humanoid refuse are considered delicacies to akaname.

A typical akaname stands just under 3 feet in
height and weighs 30 pounds.
