DROWNED BLA DE
Assaulting the hermitage in Tammeraut's Fate, this bar-
nacle-encrusted undead warrior fights with surprising
cunning. Starfish cling to its wispy beard, and its evil
rage is visible in its bloated gray eyes.
DROWNED MASTER
This waterlogged undead. bound to the Pit of Hatred in
Tammeraut's Fate. hovers menacingly over the bones of
its victims. Its torso, arms, and head retain their former
shapes, but its legs have split into shadowy tentacles.

magic that prevents it from traveling far. It commands
other drowned ones, compelling them to serve as agents
in its dark plots.
