Clockwork Shambler Horde
Level 9Abilities
A shambler troop is permanently Slowed 1 and can't use reactions.
Thresholds 160 (3 segments), 80 (2 segments)
The shambler troop is less organized than most troops. It can move into other creatures' spaces, and other creatures can move into its spaces. Its spaces are difficult terrain to other creatures.
1 to 2
Frequency once per round
Effect The shamblers lash out at any enemies in their squares or within 5 feet (DC 25 reflex save). The damage depends on the number of actions.
1 (3d6+9)[bludgeoning|options:area-damage] damage
2 (3d8+13)[bludgeoning|options:area-damage] damage
Whenever a troop Strides, it first Forms Up as a free action to condense into a 20-foot-by-20-foot area (minus any missing squares), then moves up to its Speed. This works just like a Gargantuan creature moving; for instance, if any square of the troop enters difficult terrain, the extra movement cost applies to the whole troop.
Necromancers most often create these mindless undead as obedient, expendable servitors. Left to its own devices, a zombie seeks only to consume the living, stopping only when its rotting body can no longer hold together.
This shuffling mass of decaying flesh moves with dull but singular focus.
