Brine Zombie: ?
Draug: ?
Lacedon, Aquatic Ghoul: ?
Mummy of the Deep: This creature, all that remains of an evil man buried at sea, uses its ability to control water to create a whirlpool under the ship.
Poshkin the Tame, Draug, Resident Draug: The draug is actually the Night Heron’s former quartermaster, Poshkin the Tame, who led the mutiny that brought about the ship’s destruction. Upon his death, Poshkin transformed into a draug, and it is his powerful yet dreadful presence that keeps the vessel afloat.
Brine Zombie, Undead Horror: The truth is, several months ago, Winnifer Miro and her lover Thispin Venroth were hired to deliver a fell cargo of essence ingots to a sorcerer on Aegis Isle. They loaded the essence ingots into the hold of their beautiful ketch, the Night Heron, unaware that these dangerous black bricks contained the trapped souls of once-living creatures. The ubiquitous ship rats gnawed on the crates and eventually were infected after consuming portions of the tainted ingots. The rats transformed into malevolent creatures known as soul nibblers. When the soul nibblers began biting the crew, the fatalities quickly mounted, and the frightened sailors declared an all-out mutiny.
The ensuing fight was savage and bloody, and the Night Heron caught fire during the fray. To save their own lives, Captain Miro, Thispin, and boson Rekello slew a dozen of their own men. But Thispin was mortally wounded and died as the ship was sinking.
Fully expecting to drown clinging to the body of her beloved, Captain Miro was startled to find her ship rise from the clutches of the cold sea. Instinctively she felt a new presence aboard, a phantom atmosphere that chilled her blood. Only days later, when her crewmates rose up as undead horrors, did she finally realize what had happened. Teeming with the dark chemistry of essence ingots, soul nibblers, dead sailors, and acts of sedition, the Night Heron was a crucible of negative energy. It became a draug ship, its sailors now brine zombies and lacedons.
These undead were once members of the Night Heron but drowned when the ship burned and sank.
