Description
Corpse Weepers are yet another species taken from the 'abyss' that has magically adapted to its new environment, using spells to further improve their hunting capability. Despite their horrific features and high aggression, Corpse Weepers are highly social creatures and can be raised to be familiar with and kind to humanoids. On top of their high capacity for social relationships, Corpse Weepers are quite cunning and often communicate with allies to create strategy for hunting and combat. If raised the right way, a Corpse Weeper can be turned into a mount, loyal servant, or guardian. They can even be taught to speak and understand language, albeit in a broken version. Though they aren't incredibly dangerous on their own, Corpse Weepers are often found in colonies, making them vastly more deadly.
