Husks

Husks are the result of death without any remaining Lifeforce. Playing as a Husk, you cannot sprint, your overall damage output is weaker, your attack speed is lowered, and visually your character becomes inky and ghostlike, with two glowing blue eyes piercing through your otherwise shadowy appearance. It's unclear exactly what a Husk is, or how the process of becoming one affects a person. Husks can still get rewards from a match (even from killing players) after having already lost.

Husks and Husking is clearly inspired by Hollowing from Dark Souls, sharing similar effects on characters, but still distinct as a mechanic in a multiplayer arena fighter.
