These skeletal undead are created by foul sorcery and the sacrifice of a diseased person. Plagueridden have a horse's skull for a head and wield sickles caked with blood and filth., a successful attack causes 1d6 damage and forces a saving throw vs. Poison or makes the victim suffer a virulent disease which will kill them in 1d6+1 days unless a cure disease spell is used. Their very presence has a 5% chance of infecting someone with a disease in the same manner as a giant rat. Like other undead, they are unaffected by charm, sleep or hold spells or poison. Clerics turn them as wights.
