‘The experiments continue, with mixed results. Yesterday I bombarded one of the holding cells with negative energy and the results where astounding. Roughly half of the proto-slivers died within moments, while the other half entered their hibernation phase. A few moments later, the hibernating slivers unfolded. To my amazement, these new slivers are all undead, showing traits similar to those of zombies, although these new ‘crypt’ slivers are not as slow and stiff as zombies. My patron will be pleased with the results.’ – Lanariel Shadowwing, Research Notes.
Crypt Slivers are a form of undead slivers that is the result of proto-slivers being exposed to extensive amounts of negative energy.
They resemble regular slivers, but are covered in black oily skin and have bloated features. Crypt slivers are usually about 6’ in length.
Despite being undead, they are an accepted part of sliver society, although they are not able to hibernate and evolve into more powerful forms. They are generally used as sentries, and as weapons against foes that employ weapons and spells that are ineffective against undead, such as Cloudkill. They are also used in areas that are lethal to other slivers.
Combat:
Crypt slivers fight much like other slivers by flailing away with their claw and biting with their beaked mouth. In addition to these two attack forms, they are able to make effective slam attacks with their bodies.
