Undead dwarven miners driven by greed, risen from the dead to guard their claims
According to legend, sometimes dwarven miners who have been suffering a "dry spell" will finally find a rich mineral vein. A lusty greed will overcome them, and forsaking their health, they work themselves to death. Such dwarves, it is said, will rise from the dead as Tappers.
Tappers are undead monsters which resemble desiccated zombies. They continue to wander their mine and the surrounding area, striking at the rock here and there. This tapping noise is unsettling as it echoes throughout the tunnels.
Tappers jealously guard their claim, attacking with mining picks or similar implements.
