Huskmaker was the name of a relic crafted by Proteus in ancient times. It was a sharpened length of slender crownwood, chained by links of argent wrapping around a translucent, crystalline skull. The spear could be used to create magically-animated (not undead) husks of dead adventurers that could be commanded by the wielder.
When Pazuzu, the Demon Prince took up the relic, he created multiple husks of himself to do battle with adventurers whilst he fought the Gods in the firmament of Memory.
