The Corpse Gatherer is an undead creature that appears as a giant made of earth and stone. Upon closer inspection, one can see headstones, dead hands and heads protruding from its bulk. The monster is essentially an animated graveyard.

A corpse gatherer can swallow any creature in its grasp. The victim then takes bludgeoning damage from rocks, gravestones, etc. in the creature's body. It can also increase its mass by absorbing corpses.

When a corpse gatherer is destroyed it falls apart into its component corpses. The undead's animating force converts these corpses into zombies.

Famous quotes containing the word corpse:

    Buzzards float upon the sky
    Shrilling a metaphysic cry,
    Machines hum, midgets play,
    Another corpse is hauled away
    Hauled away
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
