From Witcher Wiki
Irredeemable criminals who end their lives in the waters of Lake Vizima become drowned dead, a very dangerous variety of drowner. Fate refused them a chance to amend their ways and return to society, so they remain villains after death, drowning absolutely innocent citizens.
- "Particularly strong and dangerous drowners are known as the drowned dead. Simple people see no difference between the drowner and the drowned dead - encountering either of them is equally deadly. We might suppose, though, that the most gloomy legends concern the drowned dead rather than drowners."

- In Act II, Shani will give Geralt this bestiary entry if he asks her for a monster anatomy lesson after delivering five Celandine during the Old Friend of Mine quest. Depending on the circumstances, Shani will either give this entry or a fleder entry, but these seem to be mutually exclusive.
- Their remains will not contain their tongues until you have this bestiary entry in your journal.
- An "Old townswoman" in Act I will tell Geralt a tale of Drowned Dead in exchange for food. However, the conversation gives a journal entry for Drowners, not Drowned Dead.
