Woodcutter's Ghost: The original owner is no more. For a while, he helped the Patriarch in the old castle ruin by waylaying and drugging travelers, but guilt drove him to suicide. Death offered him no escape though, and his spirit lingers still—a dark, twisted thing.

Bone Worm: ?
Tomb Mote: ?
Forge Wisp Wraith: Forge wisp wraiths are individual spirits that failed to join together to form a forgewraith.
Haestus: ?
Forgewraith: A forgewraith is an undead humanoid whose spirit was extinguished and rekindled in the fires of a furnace or forge.
Forgewraiths are born in the fires that feed arcane industry.
Most forgewraiths form when numerous humanoids die in a fiery disaster on a developed site. The souls pass on, but the pain and fire mixes with unleashed magic to form a humanoid spirit of monstrous hate.
Although most forgewraiths are amalgams of several spirits instead of a truly sentient and souled undead, some are more like a ghost or specter. Such forgewraiths retain a soul and a personality—frequently that of a person who was evil in life.
Githyanki Shade: The resting place of the honored dead of Chanhiir was the sight of a last stand by the temple’s faithful. When the invaders pulled down this place in the aftermath, they drew forth the vengeful spirits of the githyanki warriors interred here.

Aegara of the Shadow Face: When Agera of the Shadow Face won the battle against her fellows, she retreated to the vault chamber and lay down to “sleep” with the Wrathstone around her neck. Decades later, Agera yet sleeps, though her body died long ago. Her mind, however, is tied to the Wrathstone. If this chamber is invaded, Agera awakens to defend it, as insane as ever.
Infernal Armor Animus: ?
Shade of Fallen Hero: The shadowy figures are the trapped souls of the departed. Something is keeping them from escaping to their proper afterlife.
Undead: The fey fought the living dead, but Belos’s power was so great that he first blotted out the sun and then laid a curse upon the land. Each fallen fey sprang back up as an undead beast.
