The World of Eave: Aquatic Mummies

AQUATIC MUMMY

The sea is a mysterious place and there are some sects of evil priests of the sea that use the bodies of dead sailors, fisherman or peoples taken in raids of coastal towns.  With a maw filled with shark like teeth they are hideously bloated with the seawater and are constantly dripping.  Their flesh is hard and shark-like and their eyes are unblinking and solid black like that of a shark.

By the Will of Sekolah. Aquatic Mummies were first created by the sahuagin by the priestess of Sekolah.  The secret to creating them has passed to other aquatic races and some coastal towns.  They are used to raid the coastal communities or to guard against such raids. 

Cavador. The ruins of Cavador in the south are the remains of great battle between two empires.  Ancient magicks and mighty armies were used to take the jungle city, but it was a natural disaster which brought the city low.  A powerful earthquake destroyed the coast, and brought destruction to many of the towns and cities.  The ancient magicks that were used cursed many of the inhabitants and eventually turning them into aquatic mummies.

Bloodthirsty. Aquatic mummies are very shark-like in their appearance and their actions.  When not commanded to guard something of import, they are often swimming along ripping and shredding their way through the local wildlife, hunting in the way sharks do.  However they do not eat what they kill and will leave what they slay behind them a in a bloody mess.  Usually sharks will follow them feasting upon the unlucky targets.

Undead Nature.  An aquatic mummy doesn't require air, food, drink, or sleep.
