Undead Origins

[Voadam]

Tomb of Annihilation
5e
Acererak the Eternal, Archlich: ?
Atropal: An atropal is a ghastly, unfinished creation of an evil god, cast adrift and abandoned long ago.
Bodak: A bodak is the undead remains of someone who revered Orcus.
Yellow Musk Zombie: A yellow musk creeper destroys the minds of humanoids, then implants bulbs in those it kills. Twenty-four hours after being implanted, a bulb sprouts a creeper vine that magically animates the host corpse, turning it into a yellow musk zombie under the young vine's control.
If the target is a humanoid that drops to 0 hit points as a result of this [yellow musk creeper's touch attack] damage, it dies and is implanted with a yellow musk creeper bulb. Unless the bulb is destroyed, the corpse animates as a yellow musk zombie after being dead for 24 hours. The bulb is destroyed if the creature is raised from the dead before it can transform into a yellow musk zombie, or if the corpse is targeted by a remove curse spell or similar magic before it animates.
Small Yellow Musk Zombie: A Small humanoid transformed into a yellow musk zombie becomes a Small undead with 27 (6d6 + 6) hit points, but otherwise has the same statistics.
Ankylosaurus Zombie: ?
Girallon Zombie: ?
Tyrannosaurus Zombie: ?
Undead: The archlich turned some of his victims into undead and flesh golems, then locked them inside the tomb to serve as guardians.
Murderous Undead: Along the entire coast, the Bay of Chult is the only spot where travelers can find welcoming civilization. The rest of the peninsula is a breeding ground for bloodsucking, disease-bearing insects, monstrous reptiles, carnivorous birds and beasts of every variety, and murderous undead.
Horrible Undead: ?
Ravenous Undead: ?
Walking Dead: Nanny Pu'pu is a worshiper of Myrkul, the Lord of Bones, and knows a ritual of transformation that can turn a dead humanoid into a zombie-like creature. Characters who bring their dead comrades to Mbala can ask Nanny Pu'pu to transform them into the walking dead. However, she does nothing for free. Wiping out the nest of pterafolk is the least payment she'll consider for this ritual. She might also request a lock of Commander Breakbone's hair and a few of his fingernails or one of Saja N'baza's iridescent scales. Either would certainly be used in casting evil magic.
Nanny Pu'pu is the only creature in Chult who can perform the Rite of Stolen Life. The ritual takes 1 hour to complete and requires three things: a mostly intact humanoid corpse, a gemstone worth at least 100 gp, and, most disturbingly, the sacrifice of another humanoid. If characters are unwilling to sacrifice one of their own to save a fallen comrade, Nanny Pu'pu recommends they capture a goblin, a grung, or other humanoid and bring it to her. Nanny Pu'pu kills the sacrifice, captures its spirit in the gemstone, and magically embeds the stone in the dead humanoid's forehead. After Nanny Pu'pu speaks a prayer to Myrkul, the spirit of the sacrifice gains the knowledge and the personality of the humanoid to which it is bound, in effect imitating that humanoid's spirit. When the ritual is complete, the dead humanoid awakens as if from a deep slumber, though it is not alive.
They've also heard stories about an old woman in Mbala who can animate the dead in such a way that the zombies retain the abilities and memories they had in life.
If a player character dies while exploring the wilds of Chult, an NPC guide might suggest that the party take its dead member to the ghost village of Mbala. A powerful witch is rumored to dwell there. According to local legends, the witch forged a pact with the Lord of Bones, a god who granted her the power to create zombies that retain their former personalities.

Tortle Package (5e)
5e
Shadow with Arms that Look Like Tentacles: These undead remnants of long-dead Umberlee worshipers do their utmost to surprise and kill intruders.
Siburath, Merfolk Ghost: The ghost is all that remains of Siburath, a male merfolk who was captured and tortured by the Bitch Queen's captain over a century ago. Siburath’s ghost can’t leave the cage unless it possesses someone, and it can’t rest until its torturer is slain.
Wight: With her dying breath, the ship's captain pledged her soul to Orcus and was transformed into a wight that lurks in the ship’s hold.
Topi: Topis are similar to zombies. Before a topi is animated, its corpse is shrunk until it stands only 2 feet tall, and its heart is cut out and replaced with a leather bag that contains a live poisonous snake. The snake requires neither air nor sustenance, and it magically renders the topi's claws venomous. When a topi dies, the snake inside it dies too. The process of creating a topi is known only to a handful of evil priests and necromancers.
Zombie: ?

Tyranny of Dragons
5e
Naergoth Bladelord, Wight: ?

Lich, Szass Tam: ?
Sandesyl Morgia, Elf Vampire: ?
Tharcion Eseldra Yeth, Human Vampire Spellcaster: ?
Ilda, Ghost: Ilda is a neutral good ghost who was once one of Diderius's apprentices. She worshiped her master, but was mistakenly banished as a thief when one of his prize tomes was misplaced. Ilda died not long after Diderius, and her spirit returned here to act as caretaker to his great stores of knowledge.
This is a creature whose spirit is tied to the world out of anguish.
Xonthal, Lich: The most popular theories are that Xonthal has returned or has awakened as a lich, or that one of the genies and elementals he once imprisoned finally broke free of its restraints but remains trapped inside the tower.
Diderius, Mummy Lord: When Diderius died, those who honored him in life transformed him into a special mummy lord whose magic pervades his tomb.
Free-Thinking Undead Soldier: ?
Undead: ?
Dracolich: The Cult of the Dragon has existed for centuries. During most of that time, its members have focused on the creation and worship of dracoliches, based on a prophecy translated by the cult's founder, Sammaster.
In the past, the cult was more active to the east and it was focused on creating dracoliches.
Given the chance, she talks about serving under Sammaster and killing dragons to raise them as dracoliches, which she still considers "the true path."
This chamber was Xonthal's combination living room, office, and den, used for studying, relaxing, and writing. When they took over the tower, the cultists turned this chamber into another dracolich laboratory.
Before Severin assumed control over the Cult of the Dragon, the Well of Dragons was used to transform dying dragons into dracoliches.
Ghost: ?
Lich: ?
Wight: ?
Zombie: A humanoid slain by a Naergoth Bladelord's Life Drain attack rises 24 hours later as a zombie under the Naergoth's control, unless the humanoid is restored to life or its body is destroyed.
Mummy: ?
Specter: Several of the castle's residents were murdered in this topmost room of the northwest tower in particularly hideous fashion. They are still here in the form of three specters haunting the chamber.
The undead are the reanimated souls of three cultists who died here and of three yuan-ti that died exploring the ruins.

Waterdeep Dragonheist
5e
Undead: ?
Crawling Claw: This crypt contains the shattered bones of Uld Brandath, a Waterdavian magister who died in a freak accident decades ago. (A gargoyle broke off the corner of a government building and fell on Uld, crushing him.) Guarding his remains are six crawling claws made from the hands of murderers who were sentenced to death by Uld.
Kistarianth the Red, Dracolich: ?
Duhlark Kolat, Flameskull: Manshoon found Duhlark Kolat's skeletal remains in the bed and transformed his skull into a flameskull.
Flameskull: ?
Malkolm Brizzenbright, Ghost The ghost can engage in light conversation. It is bound to the theater because Malkolm Brizzenbright's soul couldn't bear to leave the place.
Caladorn Cassalanter, Ghost: The ghost is all that remains of Caladorn Cassalanter, a former Masked Lord and hero of Waterdeep.
Caladorn's bones have turned to dust, but his suit of +1 plate armor remains. Also lying in the dust is a mace of disruption. If Caladorn's ghost is present when one or both magic items are removed from the sarcophagus, it asks, "Do you vow to use these items to defeat the forces of darkness?" An answer in the affirmative is sufficient to lay the ghost to rest. Before vanishing for good, it says, "Use the mace to destroy the effigy of evil incarnate. End the corruption to restore my family's honor."
Kolat Brother, Ghost: ?
Ruid, Hooded Ghost: ?
Ghast: ?
Lich: ?
Mummy: ?
Shadow: The Gralhunds paid a necromancer to perform a ritual on Hurv and his mastiffs. After sundown, the physical forms of these figures melt away, and they become three shadows until dawn.
Skeleton: Sir Ambrose Everdawn, a grizzled old champion of Kelemvor, has offered to help the City Guard catch a necromancer who's stealing bones from the City of the Dead and animating them as skeleton.
The characters have a cumulative 10 percent chance each night of encountering six skeletons, but there's no sign of the necromancer who animated them.
Losser is stealing bones from the City of the Dead to create an army of animated skeletons.
Minotaur Skeleton: ?
Specter: The spirits of several dead members of the Cassalanter family are bound to this crypt.
Beholder Zombie: The beholder zombie is all that remains of a beholder that arose from the Underdark to challenge Xanathar's supremacy. After defeating its rival, Xanathar had the corpse animated and transformed into a lair guardian.

Waterdeep Dungeon of the Mad Archmage
5e
Shadow Assassin: Each time a cult fanatic dies, a shadow assassin rises from the fanatic's corpse and joins the battle, acting on the same initiative count as the fanatic that "birthed" it.
Undead Bulette: After defeating the bulette, the king had its body animated to serve as an undead guardian.
Undead Archmage Severed Arm: The limb belonged to a human archmage named Manshoon- or, more precisely, to one of his clones. The clone challenged Halaster to a spell duel and lost more than just the contest. Halaster turned the limb into a guardian that attacks all intruders until the Mad Mage or a creature that looks like him waves it off.
Nester, Undead Archmage: Nester's efforts to transform into a lich met with limited success. Rather than follow the prescribed method, he devised his own technique and botched the ritual spells. Consequently, his phylactery was shattered, and his body and mind have slowly crumbled away. The floating skull and hanging skeletal arms are all that remain of him; they move like they're attached to an invisible body.
Halaster brought seven apprentices with him to Undermountain. One of them, Nester, became a lich using spells and methods of his own devising. But his process was flawed, and over time Nester's phylactery and body disintegrated until only his floating skull and skeletal arms remained.
Undead Shambling Mound: If any creature disturbs the bones in the alcove, or if Muiral commands them to rise, they coalesce into four shambling mounds made entirely of skulls and bones.
Undead Mage: ?
Nightshade: ?
Banshee, Charinidia: Muiral visits the temple to hear the lamentations of three drow priestesses who lost all favor with Lolth and became banshees.
Charinidia, Grazthrae, and T'riizlin were priestesses transformed into banshees by Lolth for their vanity.
Banshee, Grazthrae: Muiral visits the temple to hear the lamentations of three drow priestesses who lost all favor with Lolth and became banshees.

Banshee, T'riizlin: Muiral visits the temple to hear the lamentations of three drow priestesses who lost all favor with Lolth and became banshees.
Charinidia, Grazthrae, and T'riizlin were priestesses transformed into banshees by Lolth for their vanity.
Netherskull the Death Tyrant: After carving out a lair for itself, the beholder dreamed itself into undeath, becoming a death tyrant called Netherskull.
Death Knight, Vanrak Moonstar, The Dark Ranger: Vanrak Moonstar, a Waterdavian noble who turned to the worship of Shar (god of darkness and loss), descended into Undermountain, and became a death knight.
The invaders also acquired enough treasure from the temple vaults to fund Lord Vanrak's personal quest for immortality. Within a few years, the Dark Ranger had transformed himself into a death knight.
Death Knight, Dezmyr Shadowdusk: These former paladins of Torm abandoned their faith long ago, becoming death knights.
Death Knight, Zalthar Shadowdusk: These former paladins of Torm abandoned their faith long ago, becoming death knights.
Branta Lyntion, Demilich: This demilich is all that remains of Branta Myntion, a wizard who fell in with a bad crowd. Her hunger for magic set her on an evil path as she hunted down and killed other wizards to acquire their spellbooks. Before old age could claim her, Branta transformed herself into a lich. In this form, she came to Undermountain to plunder its magic. Halaster captured and enslaved her, promising to free her if she helped him brew potions. Tragically, that promise went unfulfilled. Deprived of the ability to feed souls into her phylactery, which lies hidden in a dungeon far from Waterdeep, Branta's skeletal form deteriorated. Now, over a century later, only her skull remains. Years of captivity have driven the demilich insane, and it attacks anyone other than Halaster.
Branta Myntion, Lich: This demilich is all that remains of Branta Myntion, a wizard who fell in with a bad crowd. Her hunger for magic set her on an evil path as she hunted down and killed other wizards to acquire their spellbooks. Before old age could claim her, Branta transformed herself into a lich.
Lynnorax, Adult Blue Dracolich: ?
Trenzia, Flameskull: After she was driven mad by her scientific and necromantic experiments, Trenzia convinced Halaster to transform her into a flameskull.
Ghost, Algarr Grimtide: ?
Ghost, Liddie "Slurtongue" Peddlekant: ?
Ghost, Fishbone Jim: ?
Ghost, Yoastal: A yuan-ti pureblood priest named Yoastal was slain by the Ssethian Scourges and remains bound to the temple.
Ghost, Fidelio: Over a century ago, Fidelio began his campaign to single-handedly rid Undermountain of evil, foolishly believing that Tyr would not let him perish. The arrogant paladin fought his way down to the Obstacle Course, only to be disintegrated unceremoniously by Netherskull. Fidelio's convictions are so strong, however, that his spirit cannot rest until it defeats Netherskull in battle.
Dwarven Ghost: ?
Drow Ghoul: Feasting on the remains are seven drow ghouls that were created by Vlonwelv to devour the dead.
Ezzat, Lich: Ezzat was a mage who had an opportunity to become Halaster's apprentice. A good-aligned human priest discouraged him from pursuing that evil path. After his priest friend died of old age and Ezzat became a lich to avoid a similar fate, he became obsessed with finding a way· not only to destroy Halaster but to gain control over Undermountain.
Maddgoth, Lich: ?
Arcturia, Lich: ?
Vlaakith Lich-Queen: ?
Gorka Tharn, Duergar Mummy Lord: ?
Duergar Mummy: ?
Hexacali, Bone Naga: Only two spirit nagas remain, Excrutha and Serakath, along with their thralls and the remnants of the third spirit naga, Hexacali, who was destroyed and transformed into a bone naga by the yuan-ti.
Halleth Garke, Revenant: When a half-elf cleric of Waukeen named Halleth Garke accused his adventuring companions of withholding treasure from him, the other members of the Fine Fellows of Daggerford (not including Kelim in area 36b, who had already wandered off) beat Halleth to death and threw his body into the pit. Halleth "awoke" the next day as a revenant, compelled to find and kill the three who murdered him.
Tiefling Skeleton: The gondola and the skeletal ferryman are all creations of Halaster.
One-Handed Drow Skeleton: ?
Dwarf Skeleton: ?
Zorak Lightdrinker, Dwarf Vampire: ?
Keresta Delvingstone, Vampire Cleric of Shar: Keresta met her end in the lair of a vampire and became a vampire spawn under its command. After Vanrak destroyed the vampire and conquered its lair, he took Keresta under his wing. Consumed by darkness and loss, Keresta was drawn to Shar like a moth to a flame and rose to become a vampire cleric of the evil god.
Keresta Delvingstone, Vampire Spawn: Keresta met her end in the lair of a vampire and became a vampire spawn under its command.

Crisann, Will-o'-Wisp: ?
Z'reska, Will-o'-Wisp: the dark essence of a female drow priestess named Z'reska, who was butchered by minotaurs.
Zil Ephram, Zombie: The zombie is what remains of Zail Ephram, a human wizard and adventurer who was killed in Shadowdusk Hold. Melissara Shadowdusk used an animate dead spell to animate the wizard's corpse.
Nerozar the Defeated, Beholder Zombie: Nerozar challenged Xanathar for lordship of Skullport and lost. Skullport's mind flayer ambassador brought Nerozar's animated corpse with it to Stromkuhldur.
Drow Zombie: ?
Troglodyte Zombie: In truth, the drow are nine troglodyte zombies created using animate dead and disguised with a seeming spell.

Beholder Death Tyrant: Netherskull's regional effects end with the death tyrant's destruction, and Halaster takes his time replacing the creature. Eventually he settles on abducting several beholders, releasing them in the Obstacle Course, and Jetting them vie for control of the level until only one remains. Halaster plans to help the winner transform itself into a new death tyrant.
Flameskull: Halaster made the flameskulls from the skulls of wizards who tried and failed to become his apprentices.
Thirteen ancient ftameskulls haunt Skullport. These entities, which have defended the town since its founding, are all that remain of the Sargauth Enclave, a settlement of Netherese wizards.
Ghost: ?
Ghoul: The scrap of paper is another partial entry from Trenzia's log that reads, "Day 10. With lightning and copper wires, I created a pack of ghouls.”
The characters might also encounter small packs of skeletons, zombies, and ghouls that Muiral has created by casting animate dead and create undead spells on drow corpses.
Muiral made the ghouls using the corpses of adventurers and drow.
If Muiral survives and the forces of House Auvryndar are routed, he animates the corpses of any dead drow and troglodytes he finds, then scatters these zombies and ghouls throughout the level.
Lich: ?
Shadow: If a non-evil humanoid dies from [a shadow assassin's shadow blade] attack, a shadow rises from the corpse ld4 hours later.
A humanoid reduced to 0 hit points by [damage from Umbraxakar's Shadow Breath] dies, and an undead shadow rises from its corpse and acts immediately after Umbraxakar in the initiative count.
Skeleton: The characters might also encounter small packs of skeletons, zombies, and ghouls that Muiral has created by casting animate dead and create undead spells on drow corpses.

Specter: The wraith killed the three drow (two females and one male) and turned their spirits into specters.
Vampire: ?
Vampire Spawn: The cult of Shar in Vanrakdoom consists mainly of vampire spawn under the command of Keresta Delvingstone. Living cultists also find their way here from time to time, guided through Undermountain by the dark grace of Shar herself. Keresta turns the most promising acolytes into vampire spawn.
Wight: ?
Wraith: The wraith is all that remains of an evil adventurer who was disintegrated by Halaster in this room long ago.
Will-o'-Wisp: Any humanoid that dies in Shadowdusk Hold rises from its corpse ld4 hours later as a will-o'-wisp under the DM's control. Casting dispel evil and good on the corpse before the will-o'-wisp forms prevents such an occurrence, as does bringing the body out of Shadow-dusk Hold or into the area of a hallow spell.
Any humanoid member of the Shadowdusk family killed on this level returns as a will-o'-wisp unless certain precautions are taken.
Zombie: Nylas wants to turn the Horned Sisters into zombies because they have acted cruelly toward him. He asks the characters to kill them so he can raise their corpses with animate dead spells.
The characters might also encounter small packs of skeletons, zombies, and ghouls that Muiral has created by casting animate dead and create undead spells on drow corpses.
If Muiral survives and the forces of House Auvryndar are routed, he animates the corpses of any dead drow and troglodytes he finds, then scatters these zombies and ghouls throughout the level.
The zombies are the remains of humanoids killed by Netherskull and animated by its Negative Energy Cone. They include several humans and dwarves, as well as a few elves, drow, tieflings, quaggoths, duergar, hobgoblins, troglodytes, and githyanki.
Netherskull seeks to destroy intruders and animate their corpses, turning them into zombie thralls.
As payment for each zombie, she demands a tiny vial of the buyer's blood and three hairs plucked from the buyer's head. She owns a pair of rusty iron shears that can be used to draw blood and cut hair. After consuming this payment, Olive gains the innate ability to cast the animate dead spell once per day for the next three days.

DANSE MACABRE
5th-level necromancy
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
Threads of dark power leap from your fingers to pierce up to five Small or Medium corpses you can see within range. Each corpse immediately stands up and becomes undead. You decide whether it is a zombie or a skeleton (the statistics for zombies and skeletons are in the Monster Manual), and it gains a bonus to its attack and damage rolls equal to your spellcasting ability modifier.
You can use a bonus action to mentally command the creatures you make with this spell, issuing the same command to all of them. To receive the command, a creature must be within 60 feet of you. You decide what action the creatures will take and where they will move during their next turn, or you can issue a general command, such as to guard a chamber or passageway against your foes. If you issue no commands, the creatures do nothing except defend themselves against hostile creatures. Once given an order, the creatures continue to follow it until their task is complete.
The creatures are under your control until the spell ends, after which they become inanimate once more.
Higher Levels.
When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, you animate up to two additional corpses for each s lot level above 5th.

NEGATIVE ENERGY FLOOD
5th-level necromancy
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, M (a broken bone and a square of black silk)
Duration: Instantaneous
You send ribbons of negative energy at one creature you can see within range. Unless the target is undead, it must make a Constitution saving throw, taking 5d12 necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. A target killed by this damage rises up as a zombie at the start of your next turn. The zombie pursues whatever creature it can see that is closest to it. Statistics for the zombie are in the Monster Manual.
If you target an undead with this spell, the target doesn't make a saving throw. Instead, roll 5dl2. The target gains half the total as temporary hit points.

ACCURSED SPECTER
Starting at 6th level, you can curse the soul of a person you slay, temporarily binding it to your service. When you slay a humanoid, you can cause its spirit to rise from its corpse as a specter, the statistics for which are in the Monster Manual. When the specter appears, it gains temporary hit points equal to half your warlock level. Roll initiative for the specter, which has its own turns. It obeys your verbal commands, and it gains a special bonus to its attack rolls equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of +0).
The specter remains in your service until the end of your next long rest, at which point it vanishes to the afterlife.
Once you bind a specter with this feature, you can't use the feature again until you finish a long rest.
