Description: One of the most dangerous kinds of zombies that ever walked on this planet. It's hunger is insatiable and won`t stop until there is nothing left to consume. It looks like very malnourished undead but has one distinctive feature that distinguishes it from its weaker brethren, which is the size of of its mouth. It can even be ten time wider than normal. On top of that, it's mouth also contains three rows of razor sharp teeth that it uses to shred everything it puts inside of it. And I mean everything.

There were instances where during zombie hordes it ate through steel gates or stone walls as easy as meat of its victims. It is also very durable, using substances extracted from its food to strenghten itself. Fortunately, its ability has limits, such as being unable to absorb energy constructs or spiritual bodies. It also, surprisingly, cannot stomach other undead causing it to vomit and in process weaken for short time. This kind of zombie forms only from bodies of the most glutonous people condemning them to eternal hunger.

When spotted in the wild it is recommended to report its location to the nearest church or hunting facility to prevent major losses in live. After it dies its body can beharvested for valuable metals or used as a base for a powerful golem framework. It can also be proccessed to brew alchemical concoctions used to repel lesser undead.

Personal notes: "The only thing that we tolerate in this thing is its usefulness after death. You need an army of trained soldier to even have a chance to defeat it. It`s better if you have a squad of specialized mages on standby to distract it or slow it down, but it`s stll extremely dangerous. Otherwise the whole area is doomed. Until stopped it will eat even the foundations on which buildings stand condemning the entire area to becoming unhabitable for quite some time. Better to kill it before it has had enough time to grow so resilent that it might as well be immune to physical damage." Gerald the Rosefell, Knight of Erdeic order
