Description

The cavos is a corpse sewed together with nets, ropes, and chains all infused with dark magic. Every night the corpse of sailors and pirates emerge from the black sea moving inland to escape their watery tomb and every night the chains lock up, dragging the corpses back into their dark prison deep under the water were they lay until commanded otherwise.

The Cavos looks like any other corpse at sea, drowned in nets and chains, the main similarities between the corpses is the thick chain connected to their leg, a reminder of their prisons and unnatural undeath.

The only way to truly kill a Cavos is by killing the one who bond the corpse to the chains, without the death of the one who bond the Cavos, the corpses will only be "dead" for a day.
