More Undead to Dread
Another Shadowdark post with more wonderful art by Fernando Salvaterra. All art is used by permission.
King of Corruption
Tentacles squirm, appear, and disappear. Tendrils wriggle in place of its lower jaw. Glowing white eyes shine malevolently. Rich robes and cape shift as if the body beneath has no set form or number of limbs.
AC 16, HP 57, ATK 1d4 tendrils +5 (1d6 plus disease), MV near, S +1, D +4, C +3, I +2, W +3, Ch +2, AL C, LV 10
Command Undead. Skeletons and zombies obey its commands.
Disease. DC 16 CON or infected. DC 16 CON each day or lose 2d4 HP (can’t heal naturally). Ends on success.
Disintegrate into Swarm. Collapses into a writhing mass of biting tendrils. Moves and attacks as a rat swarm (Shadowdark 245). Regenerates 1d8 HP on its turn unless wounds are cauterized with holy water.
Greater Undead. Immune to morale checks. Only damaged by silver or magical sources.
Reaper, Skeletal
Mottled bones almost devoid of tissue. Pinpoints of light for eyes. Ragged clothing and cloak. A blood-stained scythe ready to strike!
AC 14, HP 15, ATK 1 scythe +3 (1d10), MV near, S +3, D +0, C +2, I +0, W +2, Ch +2, AL C, LV 3
Greater Undead. Immune to morale checks. Only damaged by silver or magical sources.
Lasting Wounds. Damage from its scythe can be healed only by nonmagical means.
