A template, which can be added to “any humanoid or monstrous humanoid.”

Absurd Adversary

Even within the context of a fantasy world which breaks many of the “rules” that govern our own, this monster is irrational and/or fundamentally stupid, earning it a spot in my Absurd Adversaries list.

  • Dead —and by extension undead— cannot procreate. Meiosis does not occur when one or both of the parents has no living cells.
  • Let’s be more clear. If daddy is dead, there is no sperm. If mommy is dead, there is no egg. In either case, there is no baby bump.
  • You cannot become undead without dying first, so being half-undead doesn’t make sense. “Hi, I’m Ben… no, just the right side; the left side of my body is still worm-food. Yea, it’s complicated. I’m half-undead.”
