Shenzuzhou
A shenzuzhou is the grotesque, animated corpse of a giant, most commonly found on the continent of Tian Xia. It is created by decapitating the giant before animating it using dark magic.1
Appearance
A shenzuzhou is a headless, partially decomposed corpse of a giant that still stands more than eight feet tall. Its hairless flesh is cold to the touch and does not bleed when injured.1
In the process of creating a shenzuzhou, the giant's corpse is decapitated after being animated and the remaining stump of a neck is cauterized. Upon creation, a ghastly face appears in the flesh across its torso. It wears the decapitated heads of its victims as a belt tied by their hair around its waist.1
Ecology
Typically the creations of necromancers or oni, shenzuzhous are often animated from the burial grounds of giant tribes.1
Shenzuzhous cannot speak or eat, though it can still understand the language of giants and follow the commands of the creature who owns its detached head.1
