SFS Standard Driftdead Amalgam Creature 13

Amalgams are collections of driftdead that have fused together into one flesh ambulated by the shattered remnants of their component souls. The first amalgams formed spontaneously, but synthetic versions have been created in the Corpse Fleet's fleshforges and deployed as shock troops on the front lines of many battles.

All Creatures in "Driftdead"

Driftdead

Driftdead are created when a restless soul fuses with planar energies and reanimates its own corpse into a disturbing parody of life. Rarely, disturbed spirits snatched from elsewhere fuse together to inhabit a single dead body. Any death within the Drift might spawn a driftdead, but creatures that die in a frenzy of intense emotion are more likely to make the transition.

Horrors of the Drift

Driftdead feel and are drawn to the living as they repeat their miserable, tireless routines. Ships traveling through the Drift risk possession by crashers or invasion by returned and amalgams clawing through the hull to stalk living passengers. Worse, the most depraved necromancers of the galaxy command these horrors, wielding driftdead as weapons against their living enemies.
