Traits

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.

Dreadful Moan. Any creature that starts its turn within 30 feet of the zombie and can hear its moan must succeed on a DC 10 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened for 1 minute.

Actions

Clawed Hands/Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 3 (1d4 + 1) slashing damage.

Decaying Slam: Melee Weapon Attack +3 to hit reach 5 ft., one target: The sea corpse zombie slams its rotting fists into a target within reach, dealing 6 (1d8 + 2) bludgeoning damage. If the target is already under the effects of the Dreadful Moan, the attack is at advantage as the sea corpse zombie's strength surges with menacing decay.

Putrid Projectile: Ranged Weapon Attack +0 to hit reach 5 ft., one target: The sea corpse zombie hurls a chunk of decaying flesh at a target within 30 feet, dealing 5 (1d6 + 2) bludgeoning damage. If the target is frightened by the sea corpse zombie's Dreadful Moan, the attack is at advantage as the putrid stench intensifies its impact.

Description

Like all zombies, Sea corpse zombies move with a jerky, uneven gait. They are clad in the mouldering apparel they wore when put to rest, and carry the stench of decay.

They are the dead of the sea and as such each one is a water logged corpse.
They smell like something washed up onto the tideline and left in the sun. Their flesh is white and bloated, pocked in places where fish have fed on them. Seaweed, crustations and other small aquatic creatures may be found on or in their flesh.

 

Their waterlogged nature results in them being fire resistant. However due to their water content they are more vulnerable cold and acid. 

They are created when a normal zombie falls from a ship into the sea or when create undead is cast on a corpse that has been floating in the sea for many days.

They are less of a threat than a normal zombie, however in the depths of the sea they will gather. Often arriving at a settlement in a large group wading out of the sea.
