The venom spawn is a third-level creature of the Necropolis in Heroes of Might and Magic IV.

The hideous, malformed venom spawn spits a deadly poison on its enemies before it consumes them.^OffBck

Comments

The only ranged attacker in the Necropolis army, the Venom Spawn is a formidable creature, and the ability to poison enemy troops helps it do a lot of damage. Healing spells will be extremely useful if trying to fight it.

It is, however, somewhat underused, due to being in direct competition with the life-stealing vampire.

Abilities

	Ranged
	The Ranged ability allows this creature to attack enemies at a distance, but in melee combat this creature does half damage unless it has the Normal Melee ability.
	Poison
	This creature's Poison attack damages a target and then do additional damage every turn until combat ends (as long as that target is living).
