FGV366 - Corpse Wrangler & Murderjack
Corpse wranglers are not naturally occurring creatures.
Instead, they are the result of strange, necromantic magics applied to
snakes. As snakes aren’t even that common in the Frozen City, it is not
clear where these creatures are coming from, but they are at least easy
to recognize. Put simply, corpse wranglers look like two snakes joined
together. So, while they share a tail, the body splits about the
midpoint leading to two different heads. What is truly loathsome about
these creatures is their ability to crawl into a corpse and reanimate
it. The snake usually crawls in through the mouth, buries itself in the
throat, and then eats through the brain before each head pops out of an
eye socket. The effect is basically a zombie with a pair of snakes
protruding out of its eyes.
While corpse wranglers have some of the advantages of undead, they do
not suffer any of the weaknesses, as they are actually controlled by a
living creature. To kill a corpse wrangler, you essentially must batter
the corpse to pieces at which point the snake will slither out, and can
then be attacked directly.
Bloodcrows are the most common animal seen in the Frozen City, as
they have arrived by the thousands to peck away at the dead flesh of
corpses both fresh and frozen. For the most part, these birds aren’t
dangerous to the living. The exception is when Murderjacks start to
appear amongst them. These giant crows, that have a wingspan equal to
the height of a tall man, are not only aggressive hunters, but they
cause the rest of the murder (a group of crows) to also become
aggressive. No one is sure of the origins of these great birds, if they
are naturally birthed or the result of the wild magic of the Frozen
City. Regardless, when Murderjacks are about, it pays to be cautious.
