A Cleric cursed to undeath for faithlessness, resembling a skeleton in tattered robes
A Heucova is a Cleric who has been cursed to undeath for their faithlessness. It resembles a skeleton wrapped in old, tattered robes or rusting armor. Small points of red light can be seen in each of its empty eye sockets. A heucova speaks and reads all the languages it knew in life.
A heucova is a cowardly combatant, preferring to set up traps and ambushes for potential interlopers. It will attack Clerics before anyone else.
