Gallowdead

CR 16.00 Undead CE Medium
This skeletal horror staggers under the weight of the massive hook and chain impaling the bones of its midsection.

Some tyrants execute criminals, traitors, or those who dare insurrection on the end of hooked and spiked chains. Leaving the criminal to painfully hang and rot sends a message to those who would dare commit the same crimes. Sometimes such savage deaths have a strange and terrible consequence: the victim rises, grabs the instrument of its execution, and becomes a servant of those who condemned it.
