Canon Information

A crimson death is an undead of fog, with a mist-like form with some roughly humanoid features, such as a head and two arms but no legs. It sustains itself by drinking the blood of the living[1][2], leading sages and other necrologists to speculate the death of a vampire can cause the birth of a crimson death.[1] Usually white in color, a Crimson Death that has fed takes on a more crimson or reddish color[1][2], likely giving the creature its name.

A crimson death attacks with misty tentacles, with which it can drain the blood of its opponent. Despite its gaseous form and incorporeal subtype, a crimson death can physically lift objects and creatures as if it were solid.[1][2] Crimson Deaths therefore tend to be quite fond of kidnapping potential victims and dragging the unfortunates back to their lairs to be drained.[2]

Crimson deaths can be encountered in the domains of Avonleigh.[3], Hazlan[4][5], and Sithicus[6]. In the Shadow Rift, crimson deaths can be encountered in the Black Marsh.[7]
