Pumpking The King of Ghosts Pumpking the King of Ghosts is a powerful amalgamation of necrotic energy,a blackened soul, and pure hatred. Pumpking are formed as the result of failed necromantic rituals of great proportion. These rituals, usually attempts at lichdom or powerful summoning, cause violent torrents of energy that kills those involved and merge their soul(s) and energy into the being they were trying to call upon. Spectral King. Pumpking the King of Ghosts takes on a ghostly form that all other undead respect and revere, a giant royal jack-o-lantern with one leering eye. The creature can communicate and command intelligent undead. Undying Enthusiasm. When the King of Ghosts establishes a lair the undead under its command act as if there is a functioning royal court. There is usually a parade or celebration of some kind underway. Though quality and execution of these festivities is lacklusterly performed by the undead. Hatred for the Living. Being born a ghost, Pumpking the King of Ghosts sees the living as a blight. They seek to use their great necromantic power to "convert" the living into loyal subjects. Nothing infuriates the Pumpking more than the destruction of a fellow undead by the hands of the living. If a Pumpking grows powerful enough it will start sending out battalions of undead to cleanse the surrounding lands of its self proclaimed kingdom. These forces are usually small and easily dispatched, but if left unchecked in undefended territory the horde will begin to multiply. Depending on the duration of the kings rein it could take a handful of strong adventures or and entire army to stop it. Either way casualties are exceptionally high. Eternal Allure. The presence of Pumpking the King of Ghosts is apparent to all undead in the area. The larger the influence of Pumpking the wider its whereabouts are noticable. Liches, necromancers, and other intelligent undead will most likely seek an audience with a Pumpking, if only to further their own ends. Whether or not these individuals wind up in the King's favor or in its dungeon depends on whatever ridiculous terms the king comes up with. In this regard, the Pumpking, may have been better suited as a jester than a King. A Pumpking's Lair A Pumpking of ghosts wreaks havoc on the area in which it is brought into existence. If allowed to completely corrupt the place of its unbirth, usually a small town or castle, an undead utopia is formed. Everything about a Pumpkings lair screams horror story. The undead walk the streets, ghosts haunt the halls, spirits of all types are created or drawn to its location. A Pumpking encountered after completing its lair has a challenge rating of 22 (41,000 XP). Any undead empowered by the Pumpkings lair actions increase in challenge rating by 1 or 2,(if enhanced twice). Lair Actions On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the Pumpking can take a lair action to cause one of the following magical effects; the Pumpking cant use the same effect two rounds in a row. The Pumpking targets one undead it can see within 60 ft of it. A spectral tendril lashes out and momentarily attaches to them and pumps ectoplasm into them. Doing so increases their Hp and max Hp by 10 and AC by 1. A creature can only benefit form this twice. The Pumpking rolls a d4 and produces specters from his mouth equal to the total. This effect can only be activated again after all the spectators are defeated. The Pumpking glows with necromantic power and can cast its next spell of 4th level or lower without expending a spell slot. Regional Effects The region containing Pumpking the King of Ghosts lair is influenced by the King of Ghosts creating one or more of the following effects. Regardless of the time of year it appears to be Autumn(October). Creatures that die within 1 mile of Pumpkings lair roll D20 on an odd number they return as an undead. The air fills with an aura of mischief and merriment. Chaotic creatures must give into their alignment by means of childish humor and mischief. 22 Credit | Lore & Statblock:Devin Hardenburg

Berserk Dragon Though these metallic dragons were once noble and benevolent, they have been stripped of their grace and kindness through the work of dark magic, becoming horrible monstrosities. A dragon cannot survive for more than a few weeks while corrupted in such a manner, and after this time the Berserk Dragon will dissolve into ash, released from its agony. However, a few days is all the time a Berserk Dragon needs to bring fire and death to anything in its path. Berserk Dragon Template Only true metallic dragons can become Berserk Dragons, and only after a dark force has corrupted them, which is not an easy task. During the corruption process, the dragon’s magnificent scales turn coal black, and its eyes begin to glow with a crimson light. Whenever a metallic dragon becomes a Berserk Dragon, the following changes must be applied. Type. The dragon's type is changed to Undead(Dragon) as it starts to decay. Alignment. The dragon's alignment shifts to Chaotic Evil. Stats. The dragon gains +2 to Strength and +1 to Constitution score, but its Intelligence score begins to decay. Once a dragon is transformed into a Berserk Dragon, they lose 1 Intelligence per day while in this state. When their Intelligence score reaches 0, the dragon dies. Skills The dragon loses proficiency in all skills except Intimidation. Damage Immunities The dragon gains immunity to bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage from nonmagical attacks, if it did not already have this immunity. Languages Though a Berserk Dragon might understand all of the languages it knew before its transformation, a Berserk Dragon is unable to speak due to its madness. Unstoppable Fury. The dragon has advantage on any check or saving throw against an effect that would restrain their movement in any way possible. Incurable Madness. The dragon is immune to mind altering effects, such as effects from dominate monster or charm monster spells. Effects and spells that cure madness, such as the greater restoration spell, do not work. Instead, the dragon is driven to kill the creature that attempted to manipulate it. Reckless. The dragon has advantage on his attacks. All attacks against the dragon have advantage. Siege Monster. The dragon deals double damage to structures. Change Shape. If a dragon becomes a Berserk Dragon, that dragon loses its Change Shape feature, if it had one. Multiattack. The dragon can make four claw attacks instead of his normal multiattack. Frightful Presence.

Paladin of the Cursed Dragon While it is true that not all who wander are lost - many of the lost still wander. The same is true that not all who defeat great evils are victorious - many pay too great a price in body and spirit to have any sense of victory. This is true for many who overcome the ordeals of the Domains of Dread only to find they have lost their humanity. Many souls lay trapped and bound in the dark corners of the Shadowfell, even if the body that once housed it wrested itself free of that benighted realm, and too many who once held the mantle of hero return a broken shell or a damned perversion of everything they once held dear. The Paladin of the Cursed Dragon is but one of those befouled by the sacrifices they made to claim a pyrrhic victory in the eternal games of the Dark Powers. The name of this hero become scourge is lost to time, even from themselves. Though there is a tale told of a group of crusaders lead by a mighty and pious Paladin of Bahamut who ventured into the Shadowfell to perform a great service in the name of the Platinum Dragon, unaware they were misled by the machinations of Tiamat, the evil Chromatic Dragon. Never ones to miss out on manipulation and cruelty, the Dark Powers whisked the party to Falkonvia the moment they entered the Shadowfell, where they found themselves caught between the conscripted army of Vlad Markov and hordes of the undead. Beset by enemies all around, one by one the companions of the Paladin were consumed by the dead or impaled upon spikes to the vile amusement of the Dark Lord. Alone and distraught, the Wyrmking reached out to the Paladin, granting him a resplendent silver dragon, an army of the righteous and renewed vigor to oppose Markov's forces. It was not until the Dread Lord's army was vanquished and began to drag themselves up as zombies that the truth of the matter was revealed. The Paladin had flown at the head of the undead masses on a foul black beast with enchanted silver armour. Driven mad by the senseless waste of life, the insidious gifts of the Dark Powers and the blasphemy done in Bahamut's name, the Paladin struck down Markov astride his unholy steed and returned home. It was not long before the Dead Lord returned to his personal hell, while the Paladin returned home a broken and twisted thing marked by undeath and insanity. The once paragon of justice now sees enemies everywhere they turn, striking out at all who fall before their darkened gaze with abandon. 27 Paladin of the Cursed Dragon Large Undead, Lawful Neutral Armor Class 19 Hit Points 140(15d10 + 35) Speed 40ft., 60ft fly.

Bone Crusher Though most skilled Necromancers do not worry about sword wielding folk, they do worry about other mages. It was Acererak who found a solution to this problem through the use of the Bone Crusher. Disguised as a simple armored Skeleton, a Bone Crusher is a mages worst nightmare on the battlefield. By animating the bones of a magic fearing warrior, then imbuing the creatures bones with powerful energy which siphons magic, Acererak managed to forge the perfect anti-mage warrior. The Bone Crusher will meet any mage head on in melee combat, and when it is finally defeated, it will expel its hidden trap. This magic coalesces into an explosive Antimagic Field that grows more powerful with each spell it absorbs. The Bone Crushers are always accompanied by an armored skeleton dog that assists them in battle by grappling the Bone Crusher's target so that it remains close to the Bone Crusher or its antimagic field. 29 Bone Crusher Medium undead, lawful evil Armor Class 14 (hide armor) Hit Points 39(6d8 + 12) Speed 30ft.

When this creature is reduced to 0 hit points, instead of falling dead immediately, its bones begin to crack, releasing the magic that animated them, into the air and creating an antimagic field in a 10 ft. radius sphere around the Bone Crusher (as per the spell). The Bone Crusher remains animated for 1d4 rounds and gains +10 ft of Movement Speed. The Bone Crusher cannot take any action other than the Dash action. If the Bone Crusher takes 15 or more damage from a single attack, the number of rounds it stays animated is reduced by one. Once the Bone Crusher is defeated, it explodes in a 10 ft. radius, dealing 4d10 force damage, plus 1d10 for every spell casted within its Antimagic Field. Every creature in the 10 ft. radius must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking half as much damage on a successful one. Actions Maul. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5ft., one target.

Denizens of the Dark Floating Castle U nderneath our homes is the Underdark, a horrible place, filled with the bloodthirsty drow, despicable Mind Flayers and other horrors. Beneath that is the Underworld, land of Fire, brimstone, ash and hordes of undead. It is dominated by a castle floating in the air, ruled by an archlich named Zaru. A grave mistake Also known as the Dark Floating Castle Atupal, it was once a center of a great empire. The Empire spread across the whole known world, and everyone lived in peace, and harmony. Then, a benevolent king by the name of Zaru, was deceived by his advisor Malor. Malor told him that all that has a begining has an ending, and that an era of happines is always followed by an era of sorrow. He told him that his successors would be incompetent, that he should rule for all of eternity - that Zaru should ascend to "godhood". However, no mortal is welcomed to the home of Gods, and the Gods took vengance on the fooled king. They desolate the empire with rains of fire and ash. They decimated the living with endless plagues. And when the Empire looked like Hell on Earth, the Gods plunged the city and the rest of the Empire into the Underworld. Zaru managed to rule his kingdom for eternity - but not as he had hoped. The Gods wanted him to look at the endless pain, misery and sorrow caused by his arrogance. They made him a lich, so he lost his beauty and humanity. They gave him Wings, so he may look at his cursed kingdom from above. They raised his castle into the skies, so that none can end the kings misery. Now, the lich lord of the Underworld looks at his kingdom, waiting for the end to come. Castle and the Underworld. The whole underworld is desecrated ground (see "Adventure Enviroments" in the "Dungeon Master's guide"). While the Castle is aloft all undead in it have the regeneration trait described bellow. All undead created and/or animated in the underworld serve only Zaru, and turn on the Necromancers that animated them. Regeneration. This creature regains 10 hit points at the start of it's turns. This trait doesn't function if the creature took radiant damage since it's last turn. Fire and Ash A 10 000 ft. radius around Zaru is under constant rain of fire and ash and is surrounded by total darkness, unless the lich is indoors, in which case it is centered around his Floating Castle. Lichlords The tragedy that struck Zaru was millenia ago. History presented here isn't available to most of the multiverse. Many liches go to the underworld to be "apprentices" of Zaru. He dismisses them quickly, or destroys them utterly, more often going with the second method. However, when he does this, the next time; said lich reforms next to his phylactery, the Essence of Zaru follows them, and they gain some of his characteristics - wings, some powers, etc. Destroying Zaru Is near impossible. Zaru doesn't have a phylactery like other liches - his soul is held by the gods in a saphire crown. The only way to free Zaru from his misery would be to convince the gods to return the crown to Zaru, thus giving him his mortality back. Zaru would probably just kill himself when that happens, but that task alone is equal to convincing a Great Old One to become a cook - it is idiotic. If a fight breaks out with Zaru himself, use the Lichlord stat block below, just change the Hit Points to 'infinite'. 31

Lichlord Template Ambitious Liches sometimes go to the Underworld to study under Zaru. Though all who wish to learn Zaru's secrets are destroyed on sight, the power they are exposed to leaves its mark. The Liches take on an aspect of Zaru in some shape or form.

Number 48: Shadow Lich T hey say when a wizard wishes to pursue the allure of promised power and the insurmountable knowledge that becoming a Lich offers, one must sacrifice everything. All that is contrived of their mortal existence is left behind, and sometimes it creates something else in its wake... Wandering Vestige The dark arcane magic and nefarious pacts that go into creating a lich will sometimes leave behind a residual miasma of malcontent that bonds to the lich's shadow, giving it a new form of unlife. This entity is separate from the lich which it was created from and holds no fealty to it. Rather, it holds unkempt rage and bitterness towards the lich and vows to dispose of them once it can find a way of stabilizing its form. Bereft of Body A Shadow Lich can move through solid creatures and objects as easily as a mortal creature moves through fog. Soul Dependant The stability of a Shadow Lich is unpredictable and ambiguous. They must harvest a vast number of souls at least once every forty-eight months or it will cease to exist. It doesn't matter how many souls it reaps prior to the set date, it must always complete its harvest when the time comes forth. It is cold and merciless in its task to maintain its survival. Undead Nature A shadow lich doesn’t require air, food, drink, or sleep. 33 Number 48: Shadow Lich Medium undead, chaotic evil Armor Class 16 Hit Points 82(10d8 + 30) Speed 0 ft., fly 60 ft.

The destination spaces of this teleportation must be in dim light or darkness. Credit | Lore & Statblock:Asha J. Panesar

Molten Zombie T he Molten Zombie is a walking nightmare, an undead born from a damned man burning alive. These creatures desire for vengeance is powerful enough to maintain a physical form despite being reduced to slag and ash. They tend to take on forms that resembled those they held in life, and thus the haunting visage of an ever burning corpse walks the land. Warriors of Phlegethos Molten Zombies are held together by their burning hatred towards their killers. This unholy power comes from both the souls own innate hatred, and the power of hellfire granted by deals with dark entities. Normally these entities will claim the Molten Zombie as a soldier for its army, leaving the creature to hate endlessly and never resolve its emotions. Driven By Vengeance Molten Zombies get their flaming powers from the layer of Nine-hells known as Phlegethos, the fourth circle. It is there where the wrathful souls of the vengeful gain their strength on the material plane, and it is there where they return following their demise. Molten Zombies that inhabit the layer of Phlegethos are often brought to the front lines of the blood war due to their great strength and their ability to create soldiers after their demise. Cursed Expansion Molten Zombies are cursed beings, and due to their volatile nature are able to spread their curse after their death. When a Molten Zombie dies, it explodes in a burst of hellfire that curses all it touches. Any afflicted creatures will begin to take on aspects of the Molten Zombies pre-curse personality, reliving the beings emotional state up until its untimely end. After a few days, the afflicted will begin to experience the beings death, and will eventually burst into flames and become a copy of the Molten Zombie that cursed it. This new Molten Zombie acts as if it had died moments ago, and does not maintain any new information the previous Molten Zombie had learned during its time of undeath. It is reborn anew, and must relive its agony using a different body as kindling. Molten Mind The curse that converts other beings into Molten Zombies is known as the Molten Mind. When a creature is afflicted by Molten Mind, it must immediately make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or take 3 (1d6) Fire Damage and reduce its maximum hit points by the same amount. Every 24 Hours the afflicted creature must repeat this process, its mental condition worsening with each failed save. If the afflicted fails three saving throws, it bursts into flames and becomes a new Molten Zombie. If the afflicted succeeds three saving throws, the curse ends and its hit point maximum will be restored after its next long rest. The Molten Mind curse can also be removed by a Remove Curse or similar spell. 34 Credit | Lore : Callum Dronsfield

Yaranzo Few creatures evoke more disgust and pity than the Yaranzo. The restless corpses of those who perished in the pursuit of wealth Yaranzo are born of trapped miners, overambitious thieves and foolish adventurers. Their legs and lower halves rot off since all they need is eyes to covet, and arms to grasp. Yaranzo feed by searching out places of wealth like treasure chests, safes, and closets from which they leap out and attack unwary travelers. The most incredible feature of the Yaranzo is their ability to detect wealth and its hiding places. A Yaranzo without a horde will instinctively hunt out places of wealth. Treasure Seekers have been known to destroy a Yaranzos hiding place and then follow the displaced creature as it crawls towards a new horde. Yaranzos have been used in this way to activate traps and search for hidden troves of treasure. It is not uncommon to come across a pathetic Yaranzo scratching at a sealed chest or collapsed entryway, desperately seeking its next horde. It has been argued that Yaranzo are a divine insult, mocking the unquenchable avarice and greed of mortals. Others argue that they’re just maimed zombies that love shiny stuff. 36 Yaranzo Medium Undead(shapechanger), neutral evil Armor Class 15 (17 in chest form) Hit Points 58 (9d8+18) Speed 20ft.

Unknown Source The 13th Grave is a curious creature, in the fact that no one knows where it comes from. No Necromancer is ever seen summoning one, and no vengeful soul is seen possessing the body. The 13th Grave simply appears overnight, after having dug its way out of an empty grave, always the 13th of the towns graveyard. Remnants of the Past Though no one known how the 13th Grave comes to be, there are theories about who they were in life. The 13th Grave will sometimes appear after an individual from a village has gone missing, and some of these creatures have been seen wearing the clothes these individuals wore before their disappearance. 42 13th Grave Medium Undead, neutral evil Armor Class 14(natural armor) Hit Points 76(8d12 + 21) Speed 25ft. burrow 30ft.

Dark Assailant The world of being an Assassin is a complicated, and very often dangerous world. Anything and can go wrong at any moment, and very often some of the most well placed of plans will just fall apart. Because of this, rising assassins will attempt to recieve help from a supernatural source. The Help A variety of planar beings are willing to lend their personal powers to help augment the abilities of the assassins. Such help can stem from evil Deities, who have their domains include murder and death. To Demons and Devils that wish to add yet another poor soul to their unending armies. Very often the assassins receive minor help, such as cleric-like spells , or small trinkets that can help them. But as with any mortal, death comes to all, and when the assassin dies their soul is taken by the being that they signed a contract with. However, in rare exceptions, impressed Gods or truly malevolent fiends will trap the soul inside the dead body and award them with a Psycho Sword and Psycho Knives to go out and continue their work. Eyes, Ears, and Blades Dark Assailants generally work as the eyes and ears of the Mortal Plane for the fiends or deities that they have been resurrected by. Often reporting back about the goings of their rivals. However, they are occasionally requested to carry out assassinations. Be it assigned by their patron, or uncompleted ones from when they were alive. Once tasked, they do not stop unless the target is killed or they have been destroyed. Truly sadistic, their near emotionless selves do seem to draw joy from not only damaging the body, but also the mind. 43 Dark Assailant medium undead, lawful evil Armor Class 17 ( Studded Leather ) Hit Points 64 (10d6+24) Speed 35ft.

Despair from the Dark This powerful spirit is the result of a truly hateful soul being brought back into the world after centuries of torture in the afterlife. A creature of pure malevolence, it is the embodiment of the torture one could suffer in the afterlife, and only wishes to spread the misery that it experienced to others. Despair Incarnate The Despair from the Dark, also known simply as Despair, is an incredibly powerful spirit that’s sole purpose is to share its own despair and hatred with others. Though it is known what the Despair from the Dark is, it is not known how one appears on the Material Plane. Some say a Despair’s power grows during its torture in the afterlife, and the spirit eventually becomes powerful enough to return to its home plane. Others believe that a Despair originates when a fledgling necromancer performs a summoning incorrectly, resulting in the Despair from the Dark slaying its summoner. Shell of a Man The Despair from the Dark, being whatever remains of a tortured soul, does retain some memories of its past life. It might be startled at the sight of a former loved one, or stop to wonder at a place it had visited as a child. Unfortunately, these events never end in a positive manner. Most often the Despair will take particular pleasure in destroying any remnant of its past life, believing it to have been a factor in its damnation. Bane by Iron Due to the nature of torture in the afterlife, the Despair from the Dark has been exposed to all forms of magic. As such, the Despair has developed a form of immunity to magic. Though it is still possible to harm the Despair with magic, it is impossible to kill one with any form of magic. The only way to put a Despair from the Dark to rest is a simple, quick death with a mundane weapon. Something it longed for each day during its tenure in the afterlife. 44 Credit Statblock: Libedrat0r Earl |Lore: Nick Talbot

Zombie Master A nimble figure darts through an underground crypt, overturning every coffin it sees. Flashes of arcane light emit from the figure's hands, revealing a malevolent grin stretching across an undead face. With its horde now restored to its former glory, the Zombie Master prepares an attack on the neighboring village. Shards of their Master Though its name would imply that the Zombie Master acts of its own accord, the truth is much more sinister. To ensure that their undead hordes are well commanded in their absence, a Necromancer will sometimes enact a ritual that imbues an object with dark magic. Placing this object into the body of a Zombie grants that creature a heightened intelligence and the ability to tap into the Weave. Though the undead might be intelligent, they are still completely under the control of their creator. Commander and Reanimator A Zombie Master's task is to utilize their undead horde in the most efficient manner possible, and to keep their numbers growing. The Zombie Master will craft battle strategies to subvert a towns defenses and minimize damage to the horde, and will accompany the forces during their assault to reanimate any undead that fall. In this way, the Zombie Master earned its name, as the frightened survivors of these assaults mistook the Zombie Master for the controller of the undead. Shifting Assignment The most dangerous facet of the Zombie Master is that it is not beholden to one body. If a Zombie Master ever falls, the ritual object that granted the creature its abilities could be removed and placed into another Zombie. In this case, this Zombie would be transformed into a new Zombie Master, retaining all the abilities and intelligence the previous Zombie Master had access to. To truly ensure that a Zombie Master has been defeated, the ritual object must be destroyed. Undead Nature A Zombie Master doesn't need air, food, drink, or sleep. 46 Zombie Master Medium Undead, neutral Evil Armor Class 13 Hit Points 39 (7d6 + 14) Speed 30ft.

Ryu Kokki D eep in the darkest torture chambers it lies in wait. On battlefields that not only end in defeat, but the horrible pillaging of homes it begins to rise from its slumber. Whenever a great evil plots to destroy the world, it must be wary, for an even greater evil will follow it. Ryu Kokki is the name given to the monstrosity of countless bodies thrown together by wanton destruction.

Spirit Reaper T his skeletal ghost is a denizen of the afterlife, tasked with guiding the souls of the dead to their eternal rest. While they may seem kind, they are unyielding in their duty.

Plaguespreader Zombie Though this shambling corpse may seem like a rather bloated Zombie, the truth is much more sinister. In a bid to further spread the plague of undeath, a follower of Orcus concocted a rather nasty disease that would slowly decompose those affected by it. Needing a way to spread this illness, the necromancer created the Plaguespreader Zombie. Scions of Pestilence The Plaguespreader Zombie is a rather ingenious creation. The creature appears to be a normal Zombie with a bloated stomach, a common occurrence in many corpses. However, its stomach is full of a debilitating illness known as Zombie Rot, that is released in a cloud upon the creatures demise and can be utilized as a rather disgusting projectile. Strategic Illness Though the Plaguespreader Zombie is a unique creature, it is still a simple Zombie. It is easily defeated, and thus must be treated carefully. A skilled necromancer will place a few Plaguespreader Zombies in every horde, as the untrained eye will not be able to tell the walking corpses apart. Once the battle begins, and the Plaguespreader Zombies are defeated, the enemy forces will be overcome by the unexpected illness originating from their fallen enemy. Liquid Salvation The Plaguespreader Zombie might be weak, but the Zombie Rot it contains is anything but. The curse will slowly decompose its victim, and animate them as a Plaguespreader Zombie upon their death. The only way to prevent a Plaguespreader Zombie from releasing the Zombie Rot is to sprinkle holy water on the beast. The holy water will immediately disperse the cloud of disease, and will prevent the Plaguespreader Zombie from releasing it once it is destroyed. Zombie Rot While afflicted with Zombie Rot, a creature has the following symptoms until cured: it counts as an undead creature, it’s hit point maximum drops by 1d8 every 24 hours, and it is vulnerable to necrotic damage. If the targets hit point maximum reaches 0 in this way, the target dies. If the target dies in any way while afflicted with Zombie Rot, it is reanimated as a Plaguespreader Zombie. Drinking holy water will immediately cure Zombie Rot, as will a lesser restoration spell. 49 Plaguespreader Zombie Medium undead, neutral evil Armor Class 7 Hit Points 13 (2d8 + 4) Speed 15ft.

This cloud fills a 30 foot radius and is centered on the Plaguespreader Zombie. Any creature, that is not undead, that begins its turn within the cloud must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or be afflicted with Zombie Rot. Any creature that succeeds this saving throw is immune to contracting Zombie Rot for the next 24 Hours. Additionally, any creature that begins its turn within the cloud takes 1 (1d2) necrotic damage. The cloud disperses after two minutes, or if the corpse is sprinkled with holy water. Actions Slam Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit 4 (1d6+1) bludgeoning damage. Diseased Vomit (Recharge 5-6) Ranged Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, range 15/30 ft., one target. Hit: 5(1d6+2) poison damage. The creature must make a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or be afflicted with Zombie Rot. Any creature that succeeds this saving throw is immune to contracting Zombie Rot for the next 24 hours. The Plaguespreader Zombie may not use this action if it has been in contact with holy water in the past 24 hours. . Credit | Statblock: Libedrat0r Earl \ Lore: Sebastian Amadeus Wake

Plague Wolf In attempts to spread the curse of undeath across the world, the plague wolf was born. While they carry the curse of undeath with them they have not succumb to it. Yet, they still barely "live" as an undead moving carrier of miasma . They are merely harbingers spreading their disease to living creatures to raise the ranks of the undead. Zombie Rot While afflicted with Zombie Rot, a creature has the following symptoms until cured: it counts as an undead creature, it’s hit point maximum drops by 1d8 every 24 hours, and it is vulnerable to necrotic damage. If the targets hit point maximum reaches 0 in this way, the target dies. If the target dies in any way while afflicted with Zombie Rot, it is reanimated as a Plaguespreader Zombie.

Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit 5 (2d4 + 2) piercing damage. If the target is a creature it must succeed a DC 11 Constitution saving throw or become infected with zombie rot. Bonus Actions Death Charge The Plague Wolf can enter a death charge. While in this state the Plague Wolf has advantage on all attack rolls. At the end of each of its turns it must make a DC 11 Constitution saving throw, on a failed save it dies. It cannot deactivate this ability, so it will die at the end of the encounter if it uses this ability. Credit | Lore & Statblock: Louis Jameson \ Art Shawn Nichols
