Magoteer

This foul being is essentially a Zombie, but of a sailor who died at sea in a horrible manner. They are known to be found in deep dark places close to water, such as ship wrecks, and in caves along the shore where their bodies wash up into. They appear as a hooded being with large maggots for a face and hands and feet. They attack anything alive as they hate anything alive. They have a leprous like infection that drips from their rotting hands. Anyone struck by one runs the risk of catching the maggot like disease, and if not treated by very special magic slaves, the victim will become a Magoteer within a month.
