The dybbuk is a piecemeal composition of horror, its mismatched sections of body coalesced into a whole that would frighten a banshee. The thing lumbers, managing to look clumsy and menacing at the same time. The skin is pallid and stretched, and in places, gaping wounds reveal worse atrophy than that evident on the abomination's exterior. Huge hands grope before the dybbuk's trunk, sweeping around it in flailing arcs and leaving no doubt that close proximity to the creature spells dire results.

When you are dead they will "rake ribbons of flesh from your face", which is a rank 3 head wound.
Behind The Scenes
Dybbuks are soul transference possession spirits in Jewish folklore. Their physical appearance in Bonespear Tower hints at the transmogrification of life in whatever they were before becoming undead, which is a recurring theme in Bonespear Tower as an homage to The Broken Lands. In the mythology they were warded off by properly made mezuzah, which was writing at the top of a doorway proclaiming the divine lord of the house, which is embodied by the writing on the tower door. The mezics would presumably be cultists of Maleskari, the Demon Lord of Death and Undeath.
