Not dead so long that its body has begun to lose the unwinnable war against decay, a shambling lurk is firmly in the grip of rigor mortis. Its face is paralyzed in a slack-jawed smile that reveals broken teeth and a dry and swollen tongue. From the viridian firelight dancing in its eyes, it is clear that it is beyond the services of a cleric, except perhaps to grant the blessing of a swift release.

Other Information
A shambling lurk lets out a horrible retching sound, its gut pulsing and bulging in places. The distensions travel sickeningly up the lurk's chest and wasted gullet before, with a noisome belch, the lurk vomits a brackish substance at you! A few specks of corrosive spittle strike you and begin to burn!
... 10 points of damage!
Acid gets on the right arm raising some large blisters.
- Infection
They bite and can infect you with darkness. There is a way to clean this out of you, but it's not without risk. Otherwise, it has a 10 minute duration and isn't detectable other than messaging. It comes with a loss of 50 health per cycle.
Upon death and in the presence of a lurk or dying with their infection still active will turn you into a lurk. You cannot move and remain animated until decay or you are killed and freed by other players. During this experience you have limited vision using LOOK.
