Creatures in that area have vulnerability to necrotic damage.
Description
Petitioning Orcus for an Aspect will only have a chance of success if the reason for the petition furthers the goal of the Demon Prince of Undeath, which is the nullification of all life.
The Aspect of Orcus stands about 12-feet tall and has a disgusting corpulent body that is covered with animal hair. Its head and legs resembles that of an emaciated giant goat's and massive leathery bat-like wings spread from its back. In its hand is a lesser but still potent copy of its dreadful weapon, the Wand of Orcus.
The Aspect of Orcus always begins combat summoning undead before wading into battle. If it finds an opportunity to trap or block targets within melee range from escaping, it will use its Creeping Death ability and cast it centered on itself.
