Reanimated Homunculus
These creatures are a twisted amalgamation of necromantic art and dark alchemy, the most sacred arts in Vaelorian society. Its form is a grotesque mockery of life, with stitched-together limbs and patchwork flesh, giving it an unsettling and unnatural appearance, and its body emits an aura of necrotic energy, crackling with the volatile essence that animates it. Reanimated Homunculi are highly unstable, their necromantic essence making it unpredictable and potentially explosive. In combat, they don’t really pose a serious threat, due to their slow and clumsy movements. It is only when they appear to freeze that running becomes the wise choice, as an explosion is sure to follow, obliterating both the Homunculus and anyone in its vicinity.
