Husk of the Pit has a typo.

English isn't my first language or even the second. And I know my limitations when I speak it. I, however, can point out mistakes, poor grammar and typos in everything I read, or hear. The cannibalism perk reads, "The Husk exudes a sense of sinister satisfaction when used to expire [u][b]it's[/b][/u] former allies." Now, shouldn't that be "its?" —the possessive form of it.

    English is tricky because not all rules always apply to all words at all given points in dictation. "It's" in this use is obviously not "It is." You have to relate it to the formal relation such as a name. So replacing "it's" with the name John (since "it's" is relating to a formal name, "Husk of the Pit") in this sentence would be "John's" former allies. You wouldn't say "John" former allies or Johns' former allies so this is the correct grammar and not a typo.
