  • Tonight you will visit player - to consume them to make your plague spreading more effective

Objectives

  • Kill all other evil factions
  • Gain control of voting by having at least 50% of living players be Undead

How it plays

  • You have a passive ability that has a chance to infect players you visit and players that visit you with Decay and Poison
  • Your passive ability improves with the consumption of powerful corpses
  • If you are targeted with Poison you will automatically consume it, improving your passive ability (and removing the Poison from yourself)
  • You are still a Ghoul and if you consume an Undead corpse, you will become that role
  • Unlike a Ghoul, you will not receive kills, checks or stalks from consuming other dead roles
  • If you consume a dead player that has any items, you will steal them
  • You are a member of the Undead and can talk with them at night
  • Your passive ability may inflict Decay on an Undead player, but it will not inflict Poison on an Undead player
