Necrotic Parisitism The Corpse Crawler climbs into the rib cage of a rotting corpse, taking control of what is left of its nervous system in the time of one short rest. It now has full control over the body, and uses it for its own purposes. The Corpse Crawler remains in control until the body decays after 2d6 days, or its spinal cord is severed.
The Corpse Crawler has no attacks of its own, but can use the physical attacks formerly available to the corpse it is currently piloting. It also gains that creature’s size, natural armor, and movement speed, except for swimming and flying.
Description
The Corpse Crawler is a wide, flat insectile aberration. It has a long leathery tail following behind it, which tapers to a sharpened point, as well as three pairs of thin tendrils rooted under its shell. An additional six legs protrude from its underside, with pointed claws. It has no mouth, but instead feeds with its tendrils, absorbing liquid nutrients from rotting flesh.
