A Conversion of Monsters in The Isle to TNUs Stat System

I am not a master at conversion, but through looking at the way The Vanilla Game’s monsters work, figuring out analogues in TNU’s guidelines, and throwing in a hefty dose of vibes and what I’d personally rule moment to moment when necessary, I have made this for my own use. Maybe you too will find it useful.
You can find The Isle here in physical form, and here in digital form.
The Nightmares Underneath is available here both digitally and physically.

Floor 1 entries:

Bonded Dead
level 1 evil undead.
Armour 11 (12 if bonded to Daineal), Hit Die 1d4, Morale +3, medium, Speed 6, Surprise 0.
Dex 8
1 weapon attack per round, sword or spear
Ignore damage rolls of 5 or less from slashing and piercing weapons.
If bonded to Fionn: damage rolls of 1 against the Bonded Dead allow leeches to crawl onto the attacker. They deal 1 damage per round until removed and take a full round to remove.

Witness
These guys are so much more obstacle than enemy - If you want to do something to them you can just do it, with the obvious potential consequence of them yelling.
I don’t think they need stat blocks in the same way other stuff in here does, but for the purpose of detection spells, cultist’s abjuration, etc. they count as level 1 neutral undead.
