Description
A Bagobone, also possibly called a Bugaboo, is an undead construct. It is made from the stitched-up skins of animals and filled up with organic matter and bones. Some of the bones have to be human.
The creature can be Turned as a mummy and is immune to Sleep, charm, and hold. It can only be injured by spells, fire, and magical weapons. When dry, any sort of fire-based attack will do double damage, but when wet, a fire-based attack will only do the minimum possible damage (every die is treated as a 1). Furthermore, blunt weapons will only do 1 single point of damage and piercing weapons will only do 1 point plus the magic bonus of the weapon.
A bagobone is single-minded and will always be trying to carry on the single command that was given to it when it was created.
An Aquatic Bagobone is made from the skin of a large seal to which is attached the head of a great white shark and the claws of a polar bear. The creature will typically be instructed to guard a river passage. It is able to capsize canoes and small boats and will seek to climb aboard large vessels.
