A rotbringer resembles a rotten humanoid corpse with decayed bird wings, a festering mockery of an angel occasionally known as an angel of decay. The rotbringer's hands end in vicious claws that cause flesh to rot and other materials to splinter and crack, while its innate power over death allows it to create and command undead and wither its foes with necrotic magic. Lesser undead are drawn to the presence of a rotbringer like moths to flame. It is said that Orcus alone knows the secrets required to create rotbringers, but that hasn't stopped the attempts of countless necromancers to recreate these undead abominations, all of which have failed. Although each rotbringer is created loyal to Orcus, some have managed to escape his control and taken to wandering the planes attacking anything they come across. Undead Nature. A rotbringer doesn't require air, food, drink, or sleep.
