History
Ordinary English scarecrows were tools used by the Family of Blood. They kidnapped Humans and took them to their spaceship to be used as bodies for the incorporeal Family. They were also used as an army to attack a boys school in 1913, where many were shot down. Eventually, they re-animated to do more of the Family's bidding. They were again inanimate after the family's defeat. Son of Mine was placed in suspended animation inside one of the scarecrows. (DW: Human Nature / The Family of Blood)
Abilities
The scarecrows were created by farmers to protect the land from animals by scaring them off as they appeared human. The Family of Blood animated them into a living workforce. They were virtually invincible. When shot they would collapse but they could with ease be reanimated.
