When something dies, one of the first things to begin rotting is the skin. By this logic, all zombified/dead/decaying creatures that come out at night in October should have soft skin, since it's half-rotted.

I can see one major con with this: It'll make battles MUCH easier, since enemies with soft skin can be clawed for massive damage. If someone has an idea on how to balance this out, I would love to hear it.
