Blood Drain. A creature that touches the zombie or hits it with a melee attack while within 5ft of it takes 4(1d8) necrotic damage and the zombie gains temporary hit points equal to the damage dealt as it drains the blood from the victim. If the zombie takes radiant damage or damage from a magic weapon, this trait doesn't function at the start of the zombie's next turn, although it retains any temporary hit points it previously gained. It can add temporary hit points gained from this trait to temporary hit points gained from its Slam attack. Its temporary hit points cannot exceed half its maximum hit points.
Undead Fortitude. If damage reduces the zombie to 0 hit points, it must make a Constitution saving throw with a DC of 5 + the damage taken, unless the damage is radiant or from a critical hit. On a success, the zombie drops to 1 hit point instead.
Slam: Melee weapon attack, +5 to hit, reach 5ft, one target. Hit 7(1d10+2) bludgeoning damage plus 4(1d8) necrotic damage. The zombie gains temporary hit points equal to the necrotic damage dealt.
Description
"The bloody corpse shambles onward, its footsteps easy to follow. It is feared and ruthlessly hunted by the forces of light."
A Blood Zombie has been infused with necromantic magic that gives it a semblance of life. A coating of flowing blood covers the zombie, making it appear as though a shower of crimson constantly pours down its body.
Vampire Toys. Vampires find blood zombies highly entertaining and faintly obscene - but cannot seem to resist, touching, licking, or even draining the creatures of some quantity of blood.
Servants of Blood Cults. Not surprisingly, Blood Zombies are often created to serve blood mages, priests of blood cults, or dark temples. In these cases, the Blood Zombies are often marked with an unholy symbol, or compelled to participate in dark sacrifices.
Undead Nature. The Blood Zombie doesn’t require air, food, drink, or sleep.
