Leatherface | Creature Statblock
Next on the horror icon list is the much requested Leatherface! May his shrieks of terror and chainsaw cleave strike fear into your players.
Bubba Sawyer, better known as Leatherface, is the main antagonist of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre series. He is one of the biggest horror icons, but unlike most of them, is not supernatural in any way.
Leatherface kills not from a desire to exert his will over others, to satisfy carnal urges, or even to quiet the voices in his head. He kills because he is scared. Scared that others will hurt him; scared that his family will be displeased with him, scared that their shared willingness to eat human flesh will be discovered. He does as he is told. His family loves him and that is all that matters.
