Boodoo

"Offspring of Shadow and Crystal, Boodoos are contradictory creatures. Its uncanny appearance belies a gentle soul who enjoys home-cooking, collecting vintage dolls and artisanal craft-making. A Boodoo's shakers and ornamental headdress represent only a small portion of its creative pursuits; monsters far and wide will travel to witness the unveiling of a Boodoo original."

Description
The Boodoo is a muscular navy blue humanoid monster that nearly resembles a chimpanzee whose appearance evokes that of tribal ceremonial wear. Its head is covered by an enormous gray mask and a leafy orange and red headdress, so it is unknown what its head look like. It also has pitch black eyes with glowing purple pupils. Its face also has gray eyelids. Its mask is skull-like, with teeth at its bottom, and there are eight small gold skulls in its headdress. There is a turquoise crystal on the mask's forehead, and there are more turquoise crystals in its headdress. Its body has a lavender pattern on the chest that resembles a human ribcage, and bone patterns on its arms and legs. It also has blue hands, each with five fingers. It also has blue feet, each with two toes, and always carries a pair of turquoise crystal shakers that are shaken to produce sound. It is implied that Boodoos themselves made the shakers with crystals they found somewhere, alongside many other artistic objects that remain unknown by players.

When this monster is idle, it stays in tempo by walking sideways back and forth like a crab then stopping the middle. This motion is a bit like that of the Bellowfish, but much faster and energetic.

Song
Audio sample:

The Boodoo shakes its headpiece and strikes its crystal shakers like a rattlesnake together making to make sounds similar to a maraca.
