This obviously deceased creature moves forward with disturbing speed, almost as disturbing as the purple-black, barbed tongue that extends from its misshapen skull.

Those who perish while suffering from void death become void zombies. Within 2d4 hours of a carrierâs death, the strongest of the akata larvae infesting the corpse worms its way to the humanoidâs brain and undergoes a swift gestation. This accelerated growth causes the feeler-covered head of the over-sized, tadpole-like parasite to latch onto the base of its victimâs brain and reenergize the dying organ, taking total control. These parasite-possessed corpses are known as void zombies. As akata larvae are too large to fit wholly within the skulls of most humanoid races, these zombies have a distinctive appearance, with the fanged tail of the parasite bursting through its hostâs jaw, dangling forth from the broken skull.
