Drowned Bride / Ghost Bride
Aquatic, Undead, Haunting
Today, I bring you a new monster idea, inspired by the haunting imagery of The Ghosts Under the Lake, by @silentravenfilms
Drowned Bride / Ghost Bride
Aquatic, Undead, Haunting
Young maidens and brides-to-be who perished in shipwrecks, never fulfilling their vows. Now cursed to wander the ocean depths, bound by longing and grief.
Appearance: Pale, waterlogged, draped in tattered bridal garb that floats unnaturally. Hair like seaweed, eyes like black pearls.
Habitat: Wreck sites, sunken ships, reefs where lovers drowned.
Behavior: Seek the living to reenact lost weddings. Lure sailors with ghostly songs or apparitions. Fixate on individuals resembling their lost beloveds.
Special Traits:
Love-Lure: Sanity Save or follow the voice into the sea.
Watery Embrace: After a successful grappling attack, the victim makes a Body Save or begins drowning.
Restless: Cannot be shunned unless shown proof of their lover’s death or betrayal.
Use it for:
Nautical horror
RPGs Ghost ship encounters
Undead sea-themed campaigns
