Risk level: Low

Weaknesses: Removal, Fire

Description: This monster can form in case you experienced a necrosis to one of your limbs, or other body parts. There is a chance, after that particular part dies, that it can transform itself into an undead. It acts just like before, meaning its fully functional under normal circumstances and except a change of color it doesn't seem to be in any way changed. The unusual behaviour can only be spotted if it is exposed to meat or other organic tissue. It divides itself into smaller parts to grind down that particular item and absorbes it into itself. It can also react if it is left long enough without intervention, but in that case instead of transforming it expands onto surrounding it body which causes it to grow bigger. To avoid this fate it is highly recommended to cut of any dead tissue that you could have on yourself, and if it already is a part of you to get rid of its as soon as possible, otherwise there is a risk that it can fully change your body into an undead.

There were very few cases when it managed to completely get a hold of someone and in every single one of them they transformed into a being called Necrocorpse. It functions exactly as original Necrolimb, but with the fact that it can now hunt on its own. Even then it isn't very dangerous, because of its slow speed, but if it manages to get a hold of you it is almost always a death sentence. When it cathces someone it this form it opens up its entire body and uses it to grind the victim into a fine meaty paste, which it then absorbes. Its normal form dies almost immediately when removed from the infected body, and the second one is extremely vulnerable to any fire source, so getting rid of them is easy enough, but it is suggested to report its presence to any hunting facility, or in the lighter cases any surgeon to remove the threat.

Personal notes: "When I was a young lad I had a particulary nasty infection, which later caused one of my fingers to completely lose the sense of touch. I didn't think much about, before one day while eating my birthday dinner it started to move on its own and proceeded to devourer my food. Nothing in my life scared me as much as that. Thankfully, I managed to cut it of before it turned into something worse." Bern, villager
