Quth-maren

Quth-Maren were undead creatures created from flayed corpses by clerics of Kiaransalee.

Description
With every scrap of skin flayed from their bodies and their exposed muscles incessantly oozing acidic blood, the quth-maren were hideous creatures. Unlike zombies, quth-maren did not decompose.

Abilities
Intelligent adversaries and vicious in groups, quth-maren had a number of abilities that make them disturbing opponents.
 * Caustic Blood Constantly oozing acidic blood, any unarmed or natural attack that struck the quth-maren in melee would cause the acid to harm the attacker.
 * Command Undead In the same manner that an evil cleric could attempt to command undead, so to could a quth-maren.
 * Fast Healing Quth-maren can rapidly heal from wounds inflicted to it.
 * Horrifying Gaze Any living creature that comes within 30ft (9.1m) of a quth-maren and meets it baleful gaze must be strong-willed enough not to simply cower in fear at the sight of it.
 * Spit blood In addition to the caustic blood that oozes from its body, a quth-maren can expel a glob of this blood every so often causing it to splash over foes near where it lands.

History
In 1372 DR, Dorina T'sarran seized control of Szith Morcane and ordered the priestesses of Lolth there to be flayed and transformed into quth-marens.
