Drowned Sailor

The waterlogged corpse of a sailor, risen from the ocean floor.

Bloated and pale, trailing seaweed from its rusted anchor chain, this thing was once a man. Now it lurches with the single-minded purpose of the drowned dead: to find the living and pull them into the same cold dark. The water never fully leaves them - it drips from torn flesh and fills the rattling lungs with every shambling step.

Metadata

Added Version: 0.1.0
Notes: Undead variant that calls for help, making it dangerous in groups. The anchor throw provides ranged harassment that ignores the usual melee kiting strategy. Immune to poison and bleed blocks two of the most common attrition strategies. Found in drowned city ruins and shipwreck bays, often alongside Drowned Captains.
