Rotwalker
A Rotwalker's wretched form is that of a once-human creature, now consumed by the relentless march of decomposition. Its pallid, leathery skin hangs loosely from its skeletal frame, exposing festering wounds and bones in a gruesome display of mortality's defeat. The Rotwalker's eyes, hollow and devoid of life, glow with an unholy, malevolent light, seeking out the living with a ravenous hunger. This wretched being shambles forward with a haunting gait, its limbs contorted and disjointed, making each step an eerie cadence of suffering. The stench of death and decay precedes its arrival, warning the unfortunate of its relentless pursuit. Its groans and guttural moans echo through the silent night, a mournful dirge that chills the hearts of those who hear it.
