Unbound Monsters: Slaughterhouse Horrors

SLAUGHTERHOUSE
HORRORS
In a civilized, modern society, good bodies are hard to
come by. With graveyard raiding or making humanoid
corpses ‘fresh’ often out of the reach of low-budget ne-
cromancers, more creative solutions must be found- and
a city’s slaughterhouses are a fitting alternative. Stitched
together from the leftover scraps of swine, cows, even
poultry that are in abundance in any butcher’s shop or
meat packing warehouse and infused with the remnants
of a beastial intewlligence, these Slaughterhouse Horrors
are cheap, easy to make… and just as dangerous as any
other undead.

Mockery of Life. Given they’re constructs made from the

leftover scraps of slaughtered animals, no two Slaughter-
house Horrors are exactly alike. A patchwork of various
animal parts with only the most basic aesthetic conside-
ration behind their malignant purpose, these cheap, dispo-
sable constructs need only to be able to follow commands. Artwork by DM Tuz
With the more dextrous or delicate work of other undead
minions out of the question, these creatures are suited
only to one thing: Destruction.

Undead Fortitude. If damage reduces the Zompig to 0 hit

points, it must make a Constitution saving throw with a DC
of 5 + the damage taken, unless the damage is radiant or
from a critical hit. On a success, the Zompig drops to 1 hit
point instead

Actions
Multiattack. The Zompig makes 2 attacks, one with its cleaver
and one with its claw.

Cleaver. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one

ture, a violent, aggressive berserker with crude weapons
stitched onto limbs that could not carry them otherwise.
This pig in the shape of a man is unfeeling, unwavering
in its fury, and though the notion of such a creature may
seem laughable in theory, in practice it is a nigh-unstopp-
able monstrosity, for whom the loss of parts and infliction
of what should be mortal wounds is not an obstacle.

Suggested Tactics
Zompigs will act aggressively and make use of Lash Out
whenever possible to close the gap, or to make another
bite attack.

Zompigs are monsters with a high staying power thanks

to Undead Fortitude and high Constitution scores,
allowing them to stick to targets with disregard of self pre-
servation. They are straight-forward brutes that pressure
characters to deal with them.

MANY-TROTTER
A creature made from segments of many porcine bodies
stitched together to form a sort of pseudo-centipede, this
beast is long and disturbingly flexible both physically and
mentally. Large- given it consists of often dozens of pig
corpses- yet disturbingly lithe, it possesses a predatory in-
telligence, able to lie in wait and ambush prospective prey.
Driven more by a force than a thinking mind, this beast
is shockingly destructive in its intended role, unwavering
and unreasonable in its drive to hunt, to seek, to kill.

Suggested Tactics
The Many-Trotter will use it‘s Stealth skill to make use of
its Ambusher and Overwhelm ability in the first round of
combat. Once the first round passed or the Many-Trotter
failed to ambush it will attempt to first contstrict a charac-
ter and then attack it with Bite to deal the most damage.

The Many-Trotter is an assassin-type monster that has

the potential to take down a character in the first round of
combat, if able to ambush. Before using one, make sure
that your players will not be outright killed by it‘s first
round of damage (averaging at 31 damage).

Keen Smell. The Bile Bomber has advantage on Wisdom
(Perception) checks that rely on smell.

Impeded Movement. The Bile Bomber is unable to dash

and standing up from being knocked prone costs all of
its movement.

Death Throes. When a Bile Bomber is reduced to 0 hit points,

it explodes in a spread of acidic bile and dies. Each creature
within 5 ft. of the Bile Bomber must make a DC 12 Dexterity
saving throw taking 10 (4d4) acid damage on a failed save and
half as much on a successful one. The explosion leaves behind
a 15-foot square puddle of acid centered on the position of the
Bile Bomber. A creature takes 10 (4d4) acid damage when it
enters the puddle for the first time on a turn or ends its turn
there. The puddle remains for one minute unless removed or
washed away. [Constitution Based]

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.

gangrenous organs, dragging its bulbous gut into battle
as bile leaks from its slack jaw. Though it is slow moving,
forced to all fours by the weight of its decaying mass, it
can spit disgusting bodily fluids at foes, or be utilized as a
stationary, deadly trap. Upon death, the barely-contained
rot within this abomination is released in a spray of gore
and bile, and anyone unwary enough to be caught in the
blast is sure to find themselves in grave danger.

Suggested Tactics
Bile Bombers will try to stay out of reach of approaching
creatures, trying to make as many Bile attacks as possible
before they are forced into combat. Once in combat they
will attack creatures with their bite attack and attempt
to affect as many creatures with their Death Throe as
possible.

Bile Bombers can be deployed as pseudo traps because of

their death throe effect, as well as artillery-type monsters
thanks to their ranged weapon attacks.

Clumsy Flight. If the Frenzy Feather ends its turn in the air, it
begins to fall. The Frenzy Feather takes no falling damage if it
can use its wings to break the fall.

Evade. If an effect would force the Frenzy Feather to make a

Dexterity saving throw and deal half damage on a successful
one, it takes no damage instead.

Unpredictable. Opportunity attacks against the Frenzy

Feather are made with disadvantage.

Actions
Multiattack. The Frenzy Feather makes one Frenzy attack
against each creature within 5 ft. of it.

Hit: 7 (2d4 + 2) slashing damage.

FRENZY FEATHER
Little more than an amalgamation of dangerous edged
instruments, saw blades, and chains affixed to the body
of a reanimated chicken, this simple construct flails and
thrashes with uncontrollable abandon. Little more than
a mobile knife rack, the Headless Chicken isn’t meant so
much to be controlled as it is to be let loose in the vague
direction of the enemy, throwing itself around in unpredic-
table patterns and inflicting as much damage as possible
before it succumbs to its wounds. Even then, it often takes
outright destruction of the beast to end its threat, as every
synapse is primed to keep twitching until they can be
made to twitch no longer.

Suggested Tactics
Not much tactic is needed. A frenzy feather will always
move to the closest available enemy targets and attack
anything that is within range without discrimination until
destroyed.

the attack).

Stench. Any creature that starts its turn within 5 feet of

the Slaughterhouse Abomination must succeed on a DC 13
Constitution saving throw or be poisoned until the start of
the creature’s next turn. On a successful saving throw, the
creature is immune to the stench of all Slaughterhouse
Abominations for 1 hour.

Actions
Multiattack. The Slaughterhouse Abomination makes 2
attacks; one with its hook and one with its cleaver.

Hook. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.

Hit: 17 (3d8 + 4) piercing damage. The reach of this attack is 15
ft. if the target is a creature grappled by the hook.

target. Hit: 14 (3d6 + 4) slashing damage.

Abomination can’t throw its hook anymore until it is repaired. house Abomination is an amalgam of the best slaught-

porcine and bovine parts made to walk upright, this wall
of beef and fury resembles a minotaur, if such a creature
was pasted together from parts that mostly fit- and which
were most ideal as murderous implements. Unlike many
abominations, this resilient creature is tougher than most,
and serves most often as a guardian and quite literal meat
shield.

Suggested Tactics
The Slaughter House Abomination will attempt to engage
as many creatures in combat as possible, to force them to
make saving throws against its stench, while also forcing
far reached targets within 5 ft. of itself with its Hook.

If the Slaughter House Abomination is deployed with

vulnerable targets it is charged to protect, it will keep foes
away from said target by using its Hook.
