For other uses of Decayer, see Decayer

A Decayer was an undead guardian, similar in appearance to an animated skeleton with yellowing bones, but far more deadly.

Description[]

Necromancers who created such fell creatures typically intended them to guard something important by being a living or rather un-living biological weapon. Decayers emanated a deadly type of spores that if they infected an unsuspecting victim, could strike them down within 10 days with a vile rotting disease.[1]

Origins and Distribution[]

Decayers could be found on all three continents of Titan.[2]

Special Abilities[]

In order to avoid infection any victims would simply have to be fortunate, within three meters of a decayer or else they would develop the deadly symptoms of the rotting disease within the next ten days. Engaging a decayer in combat would automatically ensure infection. Once bedridden only the expert help of a trained healer could a victim have any hope of survival as their body rotted from the inside out they would become weaker every hour until death.

If their corpse was not properly disposed of It would animate into a new decayer under the control of the original, if the original one was still around.[3]
