Traits
Fungal Bed
When the Carrion King rolls initiative, an area of living fungus appears in a close burst 5 and remains until the end of the encounter. The area is difficult terrain for enemies. If a creature makes an area or close attack that includes this area, the creature can target the Carrion King.
Unstoppable
If the Carrion King starts his turn unable to take actions, drop the body recharges, and the Carrion King can use it as no action. If the Carrion King does so, unless he spends an action point, he can take only a minor action and a standard action that turn.
