A Necrophage is a level 2 unit belonging to the race and the faction of Undead. It advances from the Ghoul and advances into the Ghast.

Necrophages are in all respects stronger versions of the Ghouls, their lesser cousins. Unlike Ghouls, however, the Necrophages disgusting habit of devouring corpses can revitalize it and imbue it with extra strength.

Unit Description[]

The necrophage, or "devourer of the dead", is a monstrous, corpulent thing, which bears only a crude resemblance to a man. They appear to be quite rotten in spite of their ability to move; they are rife with disease and poisons of the blood, and have a stench to match. But the most revolting fact about these fratures, apparent only to those who can perceive the traces of foul magic upon them, is that they were somehow made from living men - a process about which almost nothing is known, but which can be nothing but nightmarish.


Abilities[]

Feeding - Necrophages often devour their enemies corpses after killing them. They gain +1 to their maximum hitpoints if they kill a living unit.
