What it does
In the year 512 YSD, the Wizards of the Seven Cities created the Beastmen as guards, servants, and "playthings". {\n}The Lamasus were one of many experiments, specifically born of the unnatural fusion of human criminals and Manticores. {\n}The resulting creatures were naturally infected by a strange form of pestilence. Too unstable and short-lived, they were considered a failure until a humble embalmer discovered their true potential. {\n}A student of the Necromancers, he simply rose the Lamasus' dead bodies and offered them as a gift to his masters. {\n}Their function as plague vector, coupled with their physical might and mobility, made them deadly and versatile troops in the Undead armies of the rising Necromancer cult.
