Flesh Atronach (Shivering Isles)

The Flesh Atronach appears as a sewn-together conglomeration of skin and muscle adorned with mystical symbols and wearing an iron collar. A prime example of this would be the Gatekeeper.

Locations
Usually found inhabiting underground ruins, the Flesh Atronach will defend areas it's set to guard until it's destroyed.

Background
While it can be considered a Daedra, it seems to be a host to the souls/spirits of other Daedra, as shown by the Shivering Isles quest "Rebuilding the Gatekeeper". It's uncertain whether Sheogorath or another Daedric Prince created this creature, but it's obvious that the intent was to use them as guardians. It is hinted that Relmyna Verenim was the creator of Flesh Atronachs after her discovery of the element Flesh.

Resistances
As expected, the Flesh Atronachs are completely impervious to diseases, poisons and highly resistant to fire and frost. Shock magic seems to affect them adversely, which appears to be their largest weakness.

Combat styles
The Purple and Red varieties seem to possess innate magic abilities, including healing and fireballs. They appear to be very flexible and fluid in their melee fighting style. They are able to make very high kicks and jump long distances.

Variants
There are five varieties of Flesh Atronach: mangled, torn, stitched, sewn, and mended. While Mangled and Mended flesh atronachs can easily be identified from afar by their gem colors, torn, stitched, and sewn atronachs all have the same gems color. A unique visual feature of this creature is the energy spots located on its body. These colored areas seem to glow with an inner light and denote the power of the Atronach. In increasing order of magnitude, these seem to be Yellow, Purple, and Red. The function for these spots is still a mystery, but from some observations it is concluded to be a magic dampening gland of some kind.
