Dragwiht

Spooktober 2022, Prompt 20: Unquiet

Dragwiht are a type of humanoid undead formed from the bodies of those who have drowned. They are known to be violent creatures. The dragwiht dwell in their underwater graves, only exiting the water at night to hunt and feed. They feed exclusively on flesh — fresh or otherwise, they do not care. Dragwihts are always hungry.

Dragwihts are weak to sunlight and to steel. Both burn the dragwiht's body in a way the dragwiht cannot heal. The only way to kill a dragwiht is to destroy its head or otherwise decapitate it.
