Special Traits

• Undead Fortitude. If damage reduces the pyre zombie 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 zombie drops to 1 hit point instead.
• Magic Resistance. The zombie has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
• Violent Combustion. Whenever the pyre zombie is hit, it violently explodes. Every creature with a 5 foot radius must make a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw, taking 7 (2d6) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one.

Actions

• Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (2d6 + 1) bludgeoning damage plus 7 (2d6) fire damage.
