A shuddering, shimmering apparition borne from the drowned dead, repeatedly called to this plane by some cruel mystic experiment. It will share its memories and experiences of drowning in tainted waters with whatever it first touches, then dissipate.

Glowmurk ghasts are monsters only summoned by the Murky Legion spell. They have a dying attack that spreads temporary shallow water alongside a 66% chance to inflict ~15% contamination (or malmutation against other monsters).

History

• Glowmurk ghasts were added in 0.35, alongside the Murky Legion monster spell and the scrapshell chimera.
