(Carrion Fiend)

Rotlords have the following traits:

Disease (Ex): Any creature that takes damage from a rotlord's bite must succeed on a Fortitude save (DC 15) or contract a horrible but treatable wasting disease (incubation period 1 day, 1d4 temporary Constitution). A successful Treat Injury check (DC 24) or a remove disease spell cures the affliction.

Animate Dead (Sp): Once per day, as an attack action, a rotlord can use animate dead (see page 339) as the spell cast by a 5th-level Acolyte.

Fast Healing 3 (Ex): A rotlord that devours a Small or Medium-size corpse gains the ability to heal damage at a rate of 3 hit points per round. Each devoured corpse provides the rotlord with 24 hours of fast healing. A rotlord can devour a Small corpse as a full-round action or a Medium-size corpse in 2 rounds.

Immunities (Ex): A rotlord is immune to bludgeoning damage and poison.

Cold and Fire Resistance 10 (Ex): A rotlord ignores the first 10 points of damage from any attack that deals cold or fire damage.
