Mohrgs are vile undead that appear as skeletons containing only their animated viscera. [1]
Creation
They are the risen corpses of mass murderers and others who'd committed similar crimes and never atoned before they died. [1]
A mohrg can be animated using the create undead spell, but only by the most powerful casters. [2]
Description
A mohrg appears as a gaunt, even skeletal corpse with a ribcage stuffed with still-fresh internal organs, which writhe sickeningly. Most notably, the tongue is long, cartilaginous, and ends in claws. Typically, mohrgs stand 5–6 feet (1.5–1.8 meters) tall as they had in life, and weigh around 120 pounds (54 kilograms). [1]
Combat
Trying to take their prey unawares, morhgs strike with their fists and grab hold, or else lash them with their tongues. The very touch of their tongues can cause a being to be paralyzed for up to four minutes if they lack the fortitude to resist. [1]
Abilities
Those slain by a mohrg rise from the dead a day to four days later as zombies in all respects. Such zombies are controlled by the morhg. [1]
Though similar to zombies, mohrgs moved as fast as a living human . They have fast reflexes and skills in stealth. [1]
Personality
Morhgs have an overriding hatred of all life. Yet, tormented by it, they yearn to live again themselves. [1]
Society
Morhgs might be encountered alone or in gangs of up to four, and these gangs might have up to ten zombies with them. [1]
Lands
Mohrgs may be found in the catacombs beneath Sharn , along with other undead. [3]
