Description A Clastrium  spawned from one's traumatic memories of watching another die from asphyxiation. 

Like the Twist and Shout  Clastrium, this being is categorized as a "zombieform", the lowliest and most common of Clastrium spawn. Zombieforms slow, uncoordinated creatures functioning much like their namesake. They know little beyond the location of prey and the straightest path to that prey. The height of zombie form versatility is employing rudimentary stealth, avoiding obvious hazards, or putting on bursts of speed when close to a target. There is no thought involved in these actions, only pre-programmed instinct. At their core, they are only ever seekers.

Unlike the Twist and Shout Clastrium, this creature's traumatic memory was something that happened in the real world, and continued to plague the owner for far longer. It was a sharper, more intense memory, and so it has formed a sharper, more intense Clastrium that constitutes a higher level zombieform. The other may resort to primitive swipes and bites; too vague to have any more connection with what it used to be. This one is more focused, and seeks to re-enact the memory of asphyxiation with other sentient lifeforms. The lives it ruins and the memories they generate may create stronger, deadlier, more specialized strangulation-based Clastrium in the future, perhaps even forming a higher tier.
