-They attack with claws that develop about a month after death, and with fangs that grow soon after.  If found before the development of these physical attributes, there is still time to give the body a proper burial.  Afterwards, the touch of the lacedon will cause '''paralysation''', which must be [[Saving Throws|saved against]] each time an individual is attacked.  To force this save, the lacedon must hit the defender's [[Armour Class|armour class]].  A failed save will cause the victim to be paralysed for 2-8 rounds; during this time, the victim cannot breathe, but the effect of the paralysis will protect against death by drowning.  The lacedon wants its victim to still be alive, so that it can be transformed.

 Once immersed, the lacedon's skin swells as it putrefies, developing abrasions as it rolls back and forth upon the sea bottom with the currents.  The skin develops a mottled green-and-grey effect; as the body fills with gas, rather that it being dragged to the surface, the undead-nature of the creature splits open along the spine, releasing this excess gas so that it can remain underwater.  The overall effect is quite hideous.

 '''Lacedon''' are [[Undead|undead]] [[Ghoul|ghouls]] that originate as humanoids that are malevolently cast into the sea and left to drown, either by murderers wishing to dispose of a rival or during times of war, when many [[Sailing (sage ability)|sailor]] and [[Marine (unit)|marines]] fall overboard and are lost during boarding fights.  Occasionally, a body presumed dead upon disposal, but in fact alive, will manifest as a ghoul.  The practice of gaining the confession of a condemned prisoner forced to walk the plank, and blessing him prior to an execution, is intended to keep the body from rising as a lacedon.
