That creature must succeed on a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw or be knocked prone.
This reaction does not trigger if the Farmer is destroyed by Holy or radiant damage.
A stronger plague victim, often raised from a farmer, wagon hand, or laborer. These undead still carry tools from life: pitchforks, axes, grain hooks, shovels, or broken wagon parts.
Their bodies are swollen with rot and blackened veins. They are slower than living warriors, but far stronger than they should be.
