Zombee

ZombeeA rather nasty little bugger I came up with just now after thinking about zombies.  I’d really like to see a player fall to this during the fight and rise as zombie.

This creature should definitely be paired up with zombies of some sort.  Either zombie rotters as it’s current crop of ‘minions’ are decaying and falling apart or ‘healthier’ zombies that are still fresh and tough.  I’d even go so far as to reskin a Bonecrusher Skeleton as a zombie and add a couple of those to this encounter and have them be recent heroes that were slain and then whatever treasure you hand out for this encounter have it still hanging off them.

But then I’m mean like that. :)

    “He’s mostly dead.” ;) Actually it was intended to be dead, just didn’t make it into the keywords etc.
