ACTIONS

  • Pile of Carcasses (Recharge 4-6): A dread shambler can decompose into a pile of bones, sludge and debris and gains the benefits of the Dodge and Disengage actions until the beginning of its next turn; if it traverses a creature’s space while in this form, that creature must make a successful Strength Saving Throw with a save DC 16 or take 6 (1d4+4) bludgeoning damage and is knocked prone.

ABOUT

A Dread Shambler is an undead elemental, consisting of animal carcasses, mud, branches, topsoil, and bones. This being is the most literal manifestation of the corruption of the natural world and usually represents the death that lingers in the wilds. It cannot be animated by spells or formed spontaneously, but it is the result of foul druidic practices who have learned to harness the necrotic energies of dying nature.
