This section contains canon info from officially published sources

A plague walker is disgusting form of undead that is so stuffed with rotting and nauseating flesh that it is all but spherical. Its touch induces nausea and pain that sickens its target. When near destruction, a plague walker can self-destruct in an explosive burst of putrid gore, damaging and nauseating nearby creatures. Unlike many forms of spellcaster-created undead, the plague walker has some limited amount of intelligence, but only the most basic.^[1]

Plague walkers can be created by spellcasters capable of using Necromancy spells with a two day ritual using 800 gold pieces worth of unholy water and 4 Medium size corpses of organisms killed by disease.^[2] Despite their name, standard plague walkers do not seem to normally spread long-lasting diseases.
