Habitat: Coastal, Swamp

Ferrymen are Undead created through the use of curses and jinxcraft and are doomed to ply the waters where they were raised. They pole through the bayous and rivers, and even across land on a wave of swamp water, in coffin boats. They can focus the malice of their curse through the light of their lantern poles, jinxing enemies or those who try to force a ride without payment.

Secret. Paying a ferryman 3 copper coins lifts any curse the creature placed on the payer, and it entitles one to a single unnerving but safe ride in the ferryman’s coffin boat.
