Fungal Zombie (CR 23)

Fungal Zombie
Chaotic Evil - Medium - Undead (Plant)
Most zombies are shambling undead horrors which mindlessly seek the flesh of the living. But a large minority of zombies develop into far worse things, their undead flesh warping and corrupting with negative power and stinking corruption.

Of these greater types of zombies, one of the most mighty is the Fungal Zombie. The hideous contagion seething in its flesh lends it much greater vigor than lesser zombies, and the bulging, oozing tissue that seeps from the wounds upon its form provide a ready supply of ammunition for its disgusting attacks. Even worse, foul spores find a rich growth media in its disgustingly fetid tissues, and their awful growths both disfigure its form with disgusting fleshy growths, but lend it terrible additional maladies in the form of harmful spores, as if the vile undead monstrosity was not bad enough on its own.

Fungal zombies are infested, bounding, horrifying beasts, extremely mighty, and their advent is a signal for the most powerful heroes of nations and even entire worlds to attend their presence.
