Special Traits

  • Cauldron-Born. A cauldron-born zombie is created through a complex, magical process that involves injecting the corpse with a variety of alchemical substances. By some quirk of its creation, a cauldron-born zombie is more connected to its creator than the average zombie. A cauldron-born zombie’s hit point maximum is reduced by 1d4 for each mile of distance between it and its creator. If this reduces the zombie’s hit point maximum to 0, it is destroyed.
  • Undead Nature. A cauldron-born zombie doesn’t require air, food, drink, or sleep.
  • Unstable Components. When the cauldron-born zombie dies, it explodes in a burst of unstable, alchemical substances. Each creature within 5 feet of it must succeed on a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw or take 4 (1d8) acid damage.

Actions

  • Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d6 + 2) bludgeoning damage.
