Undead ningyo
Undead ningyo
(Creature)
One of the most bizarre oddities found on Golarion is the ningyo. Described by many as a half-simian/half-fish type of mer-creature, these diminutive creatures inhabit the tropical coasts of Garund. What makes them even stranger, is that they seemingly refuse to die. If a ningyo is killed, it rises as an undead creature the following night. At dawn, the animating force fueling its unnatural life disappates, and the ningyo simply becomes a corpse again. Only the complete destruction of the body halts this nightly resurrection, something which knowledgeable folk are quick to do if they come across a dead ningyo during daylight hours.1
