Lichenthrope™

   Ancient Drakorian Wyrmmes discovered that a certain
   fungus, when allowed to cover a corpse, would reanimate
   it into a creature with the intelligence of a snake.
   The Wyrmmes made herds of them to protect their tombs.
   Able to sense vibrations and heat through their textured
   surface, lichenthropes can tear would-be tomb raiders
   to shreds.  Lichenthropes know no fear, and can not
   fall unconscious due to injury.

   
   
   

   Capable of living for centuries, older lichenthropes have
   an outer covering resembling random staghorns, while
   the younger ones are rough, crinkly or warty.
   The nails of lichenthropes grow into dangerous claws
   that cause grotesque and painful infections if the 
   wounds are not cleansed.  If an infected furre dies,
   they become a lichenthrope themself.


   
   
   

   Vulnerable to sunlight, lichenthropes can leave their
   subterranean lairs by night.  Most of the time they are 
   perfectly still, dormant.

   The deep bodily fluids of lichenthropes are a green goo
   that glows in the dark.  This substance seems useful-
   but so long as it gives off light, it is capable of
   infecting a corpse.  It usually lasts up to three days.
