Devouring Corpses is an undead being possessed by hunger demons.

Background

Devouring corpses are held by hunger demons and feed upon the living.

Hideous ravenous creatures, devouring corpses tend to congregate and attack en masse, seeking to consume any living beings they can reach. Their voracious appetite for flesh is endless and their hunger for life is so powerful that some devouring corpses have even shown the ability to drain their opponents’ life forces merely by being in close proximity. Devouring corpses typically eschew weapons, preferring to tear their victims apart and chew on the bloody chunks as swiftly as possible.^[1]
