Rootridden
A corpse puppeted by parasitic root-rot spreads its infection through the ground it walks, and what it kills rises to join it.
A walking corpse riddled with creeping root-rot, the rootridden is a slain thing puppeted by parasitic growth — what it kills, it sows, and the dead rise again wearing the same vines.
Root Spawn (primal, unholy) A living creature slain by a rootridden that had a lower level than the rootridden rises as a new rootridden after 1d10 rounds, on its turn. This new rootridden is under the command of the rootridden that created it. If the creator is destroyed, any rootridden it created in the past 24 hours are destroyed as well, immediately collapsing into inert plant matter.
