A spawn of Kyuss (also called son of Kyuss) are vile, zombie-like undead given sentience and special abilities by the green worms that inhabit their bodies. Such a worm can be delivered to a target living creature via its slam attack (and also inflicting a supernatural disease called Kyuss' Gift) or via a melee or ranged touch attack. Such a worm burrows through the victim's body eventually reaching the brain, killing it and animating the dead as a new spawn of Kyuss. On the other hand, the empowerment of the worms makes a Spawn of Kyuss vulnerable to remove disease, remove curse, and similar spells, which destroy the worms inside it and render it a normal zombie.[1]
Spawns of Kyuss are mad and of low intelligence, existing mostly to kill and multiply. They are not eternally staggered like normal zombies, but they may pretend to be.[2]
