Acheri

 Acheri 

(Possibly derived from the word Acheron meaning a river of Hades)

A disease-bringing ghost.

The Acheri is a corpse that has been reanimated under the influence of the Kraken. The arms no longer have hands but end in blunt points that are ridged with sharp bone protrusions that bore into a victim's flesh, exposing the bloodstream and layers of tissue to the "walking sickness" that the Kraken has for DNA (making him the abomination). That Kraken "DNA" transforms the victim into another of these Acheri that is controlled telepathically (through the infectious disease).
