[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 4923925, member: 63508"] Jiang Shi are undead humaniods that hop around, killing living creatures to absorb life essence from their victims. Thier bodies are surprising hard and their movement is stiff. Their fingernails are extremely long and very sharp. Many jiang shi can scratch through metal with little problem. Jiang shi are said to be created when a person's soul fails to leave the deceased's body, due to improper death or suicide. Other reports claim they are created when a body of a homesick traveller is buried in an unfamiliar place. Some claim they are created when a troublemaker wishes to continue its way after death. History DC 20: Many mistake jiang shi for vampires and attempt to try vampiric weaknesses on them with no effect. Many jiang shi abuse this fact and pretend to be vampires to watse the effects of their vitims. Relgion DC 25: A jiang shi prefer to hop in battle. When they walk, they stiffen their bodies to steel-like hardness.
