The Lamasu is an Elite creature of the Necropolis faction. It can be upgraded into the Putrid Lamasu.

In the year 512 YSD, the Wizards of the Seven Cities created the Beastmen as guards, servants, and “playthings”. The Lamasus were one of many experiments, specifically born of the unnatural fusion of human criminals and Manticores. The resulting creatures were naturally infected by a strange form of pestilence. Too unstable and short-lived, they were considered a failure until a humble embalmer discovered their true potential. A student of the Necromancers, he simply rose the Lamasus’ dead bodies and offered them as a gift to his masters. Their function as plague vector, coupled with their physical might and mobility, made them deadly and versatile troops in the Undead armies of the rising Necromancer cult.OffBck

“When the blood of manticore and men are mixed, it gives birth to a sickness that kills its host and everything around it.” The wizards of the Seven Cities considered the Lamasu a failed beastman experiment, until a humble embalmer discovered their true potential. They have become some of the most terrifying creatures of the Necromancer armies as walking dead. Their natural disease kills anything that stays too close to it for an extended period of time.
The Lamasu radiates an aura of disease at the start of its turn. Decreases Maximum Health of all adjacent creatures by 5% for 2 turns. Stacks up to 5 times.OffBck
