Craquehhe

By Crusader1307

These truly evil monsters may be one of the original legends that would lead to the ever popular Zombie myths. Documented by legend around 15th Century France, The Craquehhe is basically the re-animated body of a dead human. Devoid of logic, The Craquehhe is a Hades Spirit (tasked to roam the Earth tormenting people). They are formless, and may be part of the Fallen Angel mythos. The creature prefers to inhabit the most decomposed of corpses. Perhaps his enhances it's shock effect. They sustain themselves by eating their victims (flesh and bone). Being bit (and surviving), does not mean that the victim will contract a zombie virus and become one. Being bitten by The Craquehhe means being infected by a terrible plague virus. Infected humans spread this to each other (they do not resurrect). The Black Death was thought to have been started by The Craquehhe. They can only be stopped when their host body completely breaks down and cannot be further used. Sometimes burning or chopping them to bits can stop The Craquehhe.
