A Salt Zombie is the desiccated remains of a once-living creature exposed to the salt-slime left behind by the Salt Worms. These dried-out husks wander the salt flats searching out for living creatures from which they drain moisture to restore their own lost hydration. Their shambling, uneven gait and uncoordinated movements make a single Salt Zombie a threat that can be easily avoided for most who wander the salt plains—but their true danger comes in their massive numbers, as sometimes entire towns are buried in the wake of the Salt Worms, giving rise to legions of Salt Zombies. As these horrors drain the liquid essence from the living, they create more Salt Zombies, adding to their endless ranks. When a Salt Zombie drains enough moisture from living things, it is believed to become a Salt Mummy.
