description: 'Cairn linnorms are disturbing, even by linnorm standards. They make
  their homes in necropolises, burial grounds, and the sites of immense and gory battles.
  Some point out that cairn linnorms feast on shambling undead and thus provide a
  service to the living, but these beasts are not choosy and will happily consume
  any creature, whether or not it draws breath.




  Some tales state that cairn linnorms will not—or cannot—enter a tomb without the
  permission of a descendant of the deceased (or the permission of the deceased itself,
  in the instance that it has risen from the dead). Likewise, once a cairn linnorm
  has entered a tomb, it won''t leave until it has secured permission to do so. Whether
  such legends are true or not is anyone''s guess; nevertheless, reports of a cairn
  linnorm in the vicinity are harrowing enough to dissuade even the most foolhardy
  grave robber from peeking into too many crypts or mausoleums.
