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.

A Forest Bagobone is made from the skin of a moose or a buffalo to which is attached the claws of a bear and the head of a lion. This creature is typically created to guard an entrance near a pond or a waterfall.
