[A much cuter take on the same concept can be found in Doctor Who with the Adipose]
Nuppeppo This strange blobby creature
resembles a headless, monstrously fat human with hands and feet reduced to
shapeless lumps. The vague outline of a face peers from between the rolls of
fat. An abominable odor rises from it.
Nuppeppos
are the souls of the slothful dead too lazy to leave their bodies and pass on
to the afterlife. As the soul festers in its rotting form, the body swells with
corruption, the hands and feet wither away and finally the head falls off, a
new face forming grotesquely in the creature’s rolls of fat. Although many
nuppeppos cannot be bothered to leave the temples and graveyards their
corporeal forms were interred in, especially ambitious nuppeppos may enter
towns and cities to engage in the creature comforts that they enjoyed in life.
Peevish and unable to communicate their desire for food, warm baths or simply a
comfortable couch, nuppeppos lash out violently at those who do not fulfill
their wishes. If communication can somehow be established and the selfish
creature appeased, the nuppeppo is generally harmless, albeit disgusting.
There
exists a rumor that nuppeppo flesh contains the secrets of eternal life, and
that it grants everlasting youth to those who consume it. This is likely
nothing more than a lie told to trick the vain and foolish into trying to kill
and eat one of these revolting creatures, but this does not stop pampered
nobles from paying great sums of gold for alchemically treated nuppeppo meat.
Nuppeppos vary in height as the humans they once were, although they are a head
shorter and monstrously obese, weighing several hundred pounds. A nuppeppo can
be created by a create undead spell
of caster level 11th or lower, but counts as having twice as many
Hit Dice for all effects governed by Hit Dice.
Nuppeppos are usually formed from the corpses of Seshket’s faithful, so consumed with worldly pleasures that they simply refuse to shake off their mortal forms entirely.
