Mictlani

Description
Found in the Godsgrave region of the Santa Corazón Undercity, the Mictlani often appear as archaic skeletons animated by a roiling, dark-purple fog. Their skeletal frames pulsing when they detect sounds.

Abilities

 * Crypt Sentries. If sound is made within a 60 ft area, the DM makes a DC (10-18) Perception Check to see if the mictlani are called, if they are, the DM rolls 2d4 to determine the amount of Mictlani who are summoned.


 * Hoard Fighter. If the mictlani is within 5 ft of another mictlani that mictlani gets +1 on the damage roll per mictlani in the area. This effect chains across mictlani, meaning if 1 mictlani is next to 2 mictlani who each are next to 2 mictlani, each mictlani would receive a + 6 to their damage rolls.

Actions

 * Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 1) piercing damage.

Origin and Uses
It is unknown how exactly the Mictlani originated in the the Godsgrave, however, they are created whenever a sound of a certain volume is produced within the purple fog, referred to as Adeon Fog due it's similarities to the atmosphere of Adeos. The fog detects the sound and fills an unconscious or dead individuals body with it, animating the cadaver like a puppet. This is a defense mechanism of the fog, although why a weather pattern in a catacomb needs a defense mechanism isn't understood.
