leemox

leemox FAUNA — A creature resulting from grinner venom. What a person becomes after being infected by → grinner venom is known as a leemox. Once an infected person or animal dies, their bodies become animated but remain mindless. In the best cases, leemox aren’t harmful, just insensate, wandering the land and surviving by eating anything that can be eaten. They may eat livestock and, in rarer cases, people. In the worst instances, leemox are violent and nearly unstoppable. Their bodies continue to rot (slower than normal decay), but until they decompose to the point they are no longer able to stand and move by themselves, leemox are virtually impossible to kill. Often confused with the undead, leemox cannot be killed even by destroying their brain or heart. The most common ways of destroying a leemox are dismemberment and/or burning. It is noteworthy that leemox are rare, so rare in fact, in some regions they are considered myths, because grinners avoid populated areas. A large group of grinners is called a horde, though the creatures most often travel solo or in small groups and avoid people.
