Mask of Terror is a Human member of Auntie Ethel's flock. She is encountered in the The Blushing Mermaid - Basement alongside Mask of Vengeance - The Blushing Mermaid, and Mask of Servitude - The Blushing Mermaid.

Involvement

Like the other Masks, the Mask of Terror is initially hostile by virtue of wearing a Whispering Mask, placing her under the charming effect of Part of the Flock.

If the party manages to encounter her after Ethel is dead, she will no longer be hostile, but her sanity will no longer be intact.
