Hello good hunter!
I’m excited to introduce a new creature for your campaigns: the Corpsecrawler.
These tiny, necrotic beasts feast on the dead and grow stronger with every corpse they devour.
Found in desolate battlefields or forgotten tombs, Corpsecrawlers are a perfect addition to grim, war-torn settings. They make excellent scavengers, harbingers of something worse, or even tools for dark necromancers to weaken their enemies.
Here are some of the things that makes them a threat:
Essence Absorption: Corpsecrawlers gain bonuses to attack and damage rolls for every corpse nearby.
Feed Off Death: They heal when near corpses or undead creatures.
Diseased Bite: Their bite poisons targets, and if you’re already poisoned, you start gaining exhaustion levels.
While small, these creatures pack a punch and can quickly turn the tide of battle if left unchecked. Perfect for creating a sense of dread or foreshadowing greater horrors to come.
Take Care,
Evan | MonkeyDM
