Description
The Blight-breath Catoblepas is a bizarre, loathsome creature that is known to dwell in swamplands consuming the plants growing within. On a rare occasion fallen undead sink into its waters and corrupted plant life grows from that spot. These creatures have consumed too much and have slowly warped into something more twisted than the original. Its foul breath brings blight and death with it.
