The joints of the arms and legs are twisted and re-set, permitting the blood hound to crawl swift and low to the ground. The tongue is set with a hollow tip of sharp bone, and reattached with its base inside the mouth rather than down the throat; this, gives the blood hound a piercing tongue attack that it can use in close quarters. The tongue is also used to drain a victim’s blood, replenishing the blood hound’s necrotic flesh and permitting it to retain its flexibility.Death Chargers: Undead cavalry, death chargers are created by necromantically bonding and stitching the upper body of a zombie-like humanoid to the back of a re-animated warhorse. The death chargers were created from the burned corpses of soldiers and mounts that died in the fire, and are truly hideous to behold. Desert Ghoul: Like other ghouls, desert ghouls attack with claws and bite. Their attacks do not paralyze their victims, but any humanoid creature that suffers the loss of 50% or more of its total hit points to a desert ghoul is infected with ghoul fever and will become a desert ghoul in 2d6 days. This transformation can be prevented with the cleric spell cure disease if cast before the disease has taken full hold. Draugr: ?Flay Fiends: Eight diagonal crosses have been erected in a 30' diameter ring. From each of the eight diagonal crosses hangs a corpse, crucified upside down and painstakingly flayed from head to toe, exposing its muscles, ligaments, and blubber. Below each flayed body lies a pile of flesh, the skin of the body, red and sticky with gore. The torturous executions that took place here generated necromantic energies that transformed the ring of crucifixion into a shadowed sinkhole of evil and the skins of the deceased into eight flay fiends. Haugbui: Risen from those slain by a draugr in its barrow, haugbui are silent, decaying corpses that largely resemble zombies and may be mistaken for them at first glance with disastrous results. Anyone slain by a draugr within its barrow will rise after 24 hours as a haugbui in thrall to the draugr. Hoarflesh: The hoarflesh, the frozen dead, are born of those unfortunate souls who perish in the frozen wilds of Jutland and Rorn. Some of those who die as the ice creeps into their bones and veins animate as these frozen undead, perfectly preserved as they were at the moment of death. Anyone slain by a hoarflesh rises in 24 hours as a hoarflesh themselves. The frozen dead were once Jutland warriors, slain in battle during a snow storm. Their comrades could neither bury the fallen in the frozen soil, nor burn the corpses in the wintry precipitation, so they commemorated them with a crude runestone and abandoned them to the cold. Now the hoarflesh seek revenge on any who still have warmth. Mummy Lord: Mummy lords are long-dead kings, high lords and sorcerers transformed by necromantic arts into powerful undead. The evil rituals used to create mummy lords imbue the monsters with the ability to bestow curse (the reverse of remove curse) and charm person at will. Nathaghol: A frightful fate awaited those caught trespassing in the tombs of the Zaharans – transformation into a nathaghol. Necropede: A necropede is a terrible abomination, the necromantic fusion of multiple humanoid torsos, stitched in-line, the creation’s many arms serving as legs, propelling the foul thing swiftly across all manner of terrain, and even up walls and cliffs. Most necropedes are constructed using six torsos, but they may be made with more or less. Venous Sentinel: The necromantically-animated heart and veins of a humanoid, a venous sentinel is a terrible, alien thing, a pulsing heart set at the center of a mass of writhing, sharp-tipped arteries and veins. Sometimes created during the mummification process when the heart and arteries and carefully removed, venous sentinels can be found set as guardians in Zaharan tombs, as well as secured in canopic jars, ready to attack when inadvertently released. Undead: The entirety of Nirgal’s temple is a shadowed sinkhole of evil. Corpses in it have a 10% chance to return as undead in 1d12 months unless their bodies are burned. Due to terrible black magic worked in its creation, the calendar stone is a vortex to the Nether Darkness, and radiates a forsaken sinkhole of evil in a 12' radius from its perimeter. Corpses in the sinkhole have an 80% chance to return as undead in 1d4 rounds unless their bodies are burned. Ghoul: ?Mummy: ?Skeleton: ?Spectre: ?Wight: ?Wraith: ?Zombie: ?</blockquote>
