ABOUT

Crawling hands are horrid necromantic creations that wander darkened areas, often crypts, in search of living prey to choke the life out of them. Some are made by foul magics that seek to create swarms of lesser minions to guard areas and commit assassinations. Other crawling hands are the result of careless adventurers who hack away at zombies with little regard to the lingering necromantic energies that might reanimate severed parts.
