The Fast Healing entry in the MM2 says that this ability only works if the creature is alive. However, the famine spirit has fast healing 10, and the spawn of Kyuss has fast healing 5. Both are undead...

Typo, error, etc?

in the fast healing entry it is refering to the fact that if you reduce a creature to -10 or greater hp the fast healing will not bring them back to life... fast healing works fine for undead and constructs that might have it.

just a precision it is said in MM1 that :
"An undead creature ... when reduced to 0 hit points or less, it is immediately destroyed. ..."

so no undead can reach -10 or greater hp

the rule in MM2 must be understand as "this ability only works if the creature is dead or destroyed" which mean it apply for undead which have it

but as mentioned above it apply for alive creature until -10 and for undead creature until 0

are you agree ?
