Festerhulks are dead giants whose corpses are infested with fungus engorged by the magic of decay. This fungus has consumed and replaced much of the giant’s flesh and now animates the corpse. The heads of these giants are often completely overtaken by repulsive mushrooms and other fungal growths. The spores given off by their infestation can spread to victims killed by festerhulks, giving rise to further Undead.
Secret. Festerhulks shrink from sunlight, which harms the fungus that animates them.
