From Witcher Wiki
They say that whatever hangs, shall not drown. Unfortunately, sometimes the bodies of hanged criminals are thrown into the lake. The weight of the villains' crimes causes them return as drowners. Since bad things do not befall the wicked, to get rid of a drowner, you must bear the cost of hiring a good witcher.

- "Drowners are scoundrels who ended their wicked lives in the water. Drowned alive or thrown into deep water after death, they turn into vengeful creatures which stalk the inhabitants of coastal settlements."

- Geralt can loot the bodies of Drowners for Cadaverine and Ginatz's Acid before he has a bestiary entry for Drowners or ingredient entries for those items. However, Drowner remains will not contain Drowner Brain Tissue until Geralt has the journal entries.
- In the Prologue, Lambert urges Geralt to limit his use of the Group Style to only Drowners at first. However, the conversation does not result in a bestiary entry.
- In Acts II and III Geralt can give an Old Woman in the Temple Quarter some beer or mead after asking her "Why so tight-lipped today?" At first, she'll tell him a story about the Mage's Tower. Giving her another drink on a later visit, she'll tell a story about Drowners. Whether or not this conversation would result in the Drowner bestiary entry has not been confirmed.
