Zombie Snake

Creature 0 — mindless, undead, unholy, zombie

Pre-Remaster content. May include legacy alignment.

AnvilLANDVERTICALundeadzombieunholydisease

At around 5 feet long, this massive, rotting serpent lacks potent venom, but its bite still injects putrid fluid that can cause infection. Simple to create and varied in purpose, these shambling undead are often used for their strength and endless stamina to conduct boring, repetitive tasks.

Abilities

Slow — A zombie snake 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.
Filth Fever (disease) — The sickened and unconscious conditions from filth fever can't end or be reduced until the disease is cured

WORKS WELL WITH

CrasherLAND / VERTICALA faster melee threat pressures the party while this slow, disease-ridden body occupies space and absorbs Strikes.
SniperLANDRanged pressure punishes any melee combatant who lingers to trade blows with this diseased, resistant body.

PUNISHES

✖ melee reliance✖ low Fortitude
Being mindless, this creature cannot itself act as a caster or controller; pair it purely for its bulk and disease threat, not tactical coordination.
