Scarlet fever

Scarlatin · no. 242 in the monster list
Everything is read from the game's code, unless stated otherwise

Rivers run dry, animals die, and the grass and trees are burnt to cinders when the scarlet fever walks the land.

These hellfire-exhaling horrors are born when souls that cannot rest are engulfed in evil auras. None can rest while they live.
