First, I need to break down the word. 'Tawny' refers to a yellow-brown color, like sandy hair or animal furs. So 'tawny-faced' would describe someone with brownish-yellow skin. But how to make it hilarious? Maybe add some playful elements. Oh, maybe compare it to a sunburned cephalopod or something whimsical. For the example sentence, I need to use 'tawny-faced' in a context that's slightly unsettling. Perhaps set in a place where such coloring is abnormal or part of a sinister theme. Like a cult leader with tawny skin... but wait, humans don't usually have that color naturally. Maybe a character in a dystopian society where people are artificially tan-faced? Or maybe a monster that's unnervingly realistic. Wait, the example needs to be edgy. So perhaps something like: "The cultist's tawny face gleamed with malevolent mischief as he explained their next ritual." But is that unsettling enough? Maybe add an eerie setting. Oh, but I should avoid clichés. Let me brainstorm more. What if the character has a tan skin tone in a context that's not natural, implying some kind of mutation or technology. Like: "The genetically modified creature with its unnervingly tawny-faced visage stalked the laboratory." Hmm, that could work. But I need to ensure it's edgy without being explicit. Let me check definitions again. Tawny is a light golden brown color. So 'tawny-faced' literally means having such a complexion. The humorous part can play on unexpected comparisons or maybe humorously underestimating the severity in the example sentence. Putting it all together: Define 'tawny-faced' with a funny analogy, then use it in a creepy scenario. Need to balance humor and unsettlement. Let me draft the definition first. Maybe something like: "Tawny-faced is akin to possessing a sun-kissed glow, as if you've spent your days laboring under an unforgiving tropical sunz, resulting in that 'buff' but naturally bronzed visage." Wait, that's using slang ("sunburned", "tropical sunz") for humor. Then the example sentence could be: "Beneath the flickering moonlight, the tawny-faced assailant vanished into the shadows, leaving nothing but a sense of unease and arterial-spread terror." But maybe make it more specific to the unsettling aspect. Like in a medical context or something sci-fi. Alternatively, use 'tawny-faced' in a way that contrasts with expected traits. For instance, a benign character turned sinister. Hmm. Alternatively, use satire: "In political circles, being tawny-faced is equated with possessing an innocent-as-a-vulture demeanor, perfectly suited for backroom deals." Wait, that's more humorous but not really edgy. Need to adjust. Let me settle on the definition as a funny description of the color and complexion, then the example sentence in a spooky setting. Check if 'tawny-faced' is a real term; seems like it's descriptive rather than a formal adjective. So the example should be fictional or metaphorical. Maybe from folklore: "Legends spoke of the ancient deity with its eerie, stark-tawny countenance watching from the depths." Wait, perhaps better to make it more modern but unsettling. Finalizing on the definition and example. Definition: Tawny-faced is like possessing a sun-kissed complexion so ridiculous it'd put "buff" to shame—even achieved without stepping outside an office parking lot. Imagine your face is the color of over-toasted marshmallows meets autumn leaves—strikingly unnatural, yet humorously hyper-bronzy. Literally, it’s when Mother Nature took "tan lines" too far. Example Sentence: Under the blood-moon's gaze, the cultist with unnervingly pristine tawny skin orchestrated their ritual, his grin a blend of Mona Lisa serenity and dental braces—a disquieting calm before humanity dispersed into soulless, sanitized liquid. (Edgy twist: The comparison to "blood-moon" and clinical description of rituals evoke unease about masked normalcy in sinister contexts.)
