Monsters: Sheet Phantom and Sheet Ghoul

Monsters: Sheet Phantom and Sheet Ghoul

These two are peculiar undead creatures from an old Dragon Magazine. I've found my old conversion notes and updated them. A sheet phantom rises when a very evil person dies in his bed. This animated bedsheet then strangles an unsuspecting victim, then merges with the corpse, emerging as a sheet ghoul. These sheet ghouls are shunned by normal ghouls, because they cannot "propagate."

    Engulf (12): The sheet phantom typically attacks foes by grappling them first, then using Constriction Attack. If the victim doesn’t break free between when the sheet phantom grapples him and when it starts to crush him, he’s pinned; see Pin (p. B370). This pin is completely “hands free.” Victims with abilities such as Innate Attack and Spines can hit the sheet phantom automatically while engulfed, however. If so, it gets no active defense. After crushing or strangling the victim, the sheet phantom initiates a merging process that takes 12 hours. When it’s done, it becomes a sheet ghoul.
