Botchling

Botchlings are creatures that grow from the corpses of children/babies/fetuses who are neglected and unacknowledged in life and in death. In the Witcher Wild Hunt, Geralt encounters a botchling while speaking with the Bloody Baron. If the Baron embraces the disfigured child close the Botchling is pacified, but should the Baron once again refuse to acknowledge his offspring, the Botchling will take on a more hideous and ferocious form.
