Subterranean overgrown undead in moss chambers
The Moss Zombie is a subterranean variant of the common surface Zombie that roams underground caverns near natural moss patches. Cloaked in thick foliage, it advances toward spelunkers at an unhurried shambling pace. However, the dense plant matter encasing its rotten flesh provides added protection, raising its resilience to 10 base defense. In cramped tunnels, its steady approach can corner miners who neglect to illuminate natural cavern corridors.
Harvesting decorative glowing flora from defeated shamblers
Beyond clearing cavern paths, these plant-encrusted ghouls serve as an renewable supplier of cavern flora. Each dispatched Moss Zombie carries a 10% chance to yield a clump of whichever moss type grew across its body. This includes standard strains like green, brown, or red moss, as well as radiant varieties such as argon, xenon, and lava moss. Collecting these drops allows builders to cultivate radiant underground gardens without stripping rare natural cave walls.
Trivia
- The glowing mane of a Moss Zombie matches the exact variety of moss thriving in its native cavern pocket.
- They can spawn at any depth where natural stone moss beds are present.
