Special Traits

• Cadaverous Appearance. While the plague-born is lying still, it is indistinguishable from a mundane decomposing corpse. It can still be detected by a detect evil and good spell, or similar magic.
• Grasping Horde. If a creature is grappled by more than one creature with this ability, it has disadvantage on ability checks to escape the grapple.
• Undead Fortitude. If damage reduces the plague-born to 0 hit points, it must make a Constitution saving throw, with a DC of 5 + the damage taken, unless the damage is radiant or from a critical hit. On a success, the plague-born drops to 1 hit point instead.

Actions

• Multiattack. The plague-born makes a slam attack. If it is grappling a creature, the plague-born can also make a bite attack.
• Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d8 + 3) bludgeoning damage, and the target is grappled (escape DC 11). Until this grapple ends, the plague-born can’t use its slam attack against another target.
• Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one grappled creature. Hit: 10 (2d6 + 3) piercing damage. Additionally, living creatures must succeed on a DC 11 Constitution saving throw, or take 9 (2d8) necrotic damage and contract the zombie necrosis disease.
