Abilities

Headless — A headless spore sheep can't make Jaws attacks.
Slow — A zombie is permanently Slowed 1 and can't use reactions.
Void Healing — A creature with void healing draws health from void energy rather than vitality energy. It is damaged by vitality damage and is not healed by vitality healing effects. It does not take void damage, and it is healed by void effects that heal undead.
Wasting Wheeze (poison) — Frequency once per rounds

Trigger The headless spore sheep takes a critical hit or is reduced to 0 Hit Points

WORKS WELL WITH

CrasherLANDA burst striker capitalizes on the sheep's permanent Slowed condition to land the finishing blow before disease spreads further.
SniperLANDRanged precision finishes the slowed sheep from outside the spore cloud that triggers on its death.
WeaverLANDA caster layering persistent damage effects stacks pressure alongside the disease's ongoing decay.

PUNISHES

✖ melee reliance✖ clumping✖ low Fortitude
Avoid pairing with another slow, immobile Anvil, since two stationary bruisers can't pressure a mobile party without support.
