Phantastes. Just read that this morning. "The Maiden of the Alder", who led Anodos along so she could remove the beech-necklace he wore as protection, so that she could give him to the Ash. Hollow-backed doesn't quite do it justice: she was a hollowed out tree in the shape of a human form fitting coffin in back. Yes, creepy! Just imagine looking at the one side then it turns and you see the other! Either way you do it, it's ...... okay to read in a book, but I wouldn't want to experience it.
Terror is right.
I think I've found a comparable character in Phantastes to Ted Sandyman. More on that later.
