Undead Origins

[Voadam]

Wizard's Academy
Pathfinder 1e
Death Knight: Most (but not all) death knights were paladins in life, who broke their vows in such a complete and horrific way that they became the exact inverse of their formor holiness. This goes far beyond simply losing honor; only someone who has completely and utterly fallen in word, deed, and disposition could become something as horrific as a death knight.

Draugr: Greater by far than anything simple magic can reproduce, draugr are naturally-occuring undead of great power, possessing intelligence, cunning, and a great hunger and hatred for the living.
This crypt was built by a particularly ambitious necromancy student, who was looking for a place to hide bodies he’d stolen from the school mortuary. However, underestimating the magic that leaks from the academy above, these bodies animated on their own as draugr before he was able to make use of them, and ate him the next time he visited.

Devouring Draugr: This crypt was built by a particularly ambitious necromancy student, who was looking for a place to hide bodies he’d stolen from the school mortuary. However, underestimating the magic that leaks from the academy above, these bodies animated on their own as draugr before he was able to make use of them, and ate him the next time he visited.
Janus, Being, God of Gateways and Dualities, Great Archetype of the Undead Servant, Avatar: Janus is the god of gateways and dualities, usually associated with the gateways of death and time, but his territory extends beyond this limitation. He is also the great archetype of the undead servant; while it is virtually impossible to summon an actual god, Janus is surprisingly accomidating of mortal casters, sending an avat[a]r to the service of any caster of sufficient power to summon it.

Skeletal Student Initiate: The skeleton in this room has long-since been animated by the lingering magic of the academy, and is an initiate skeletal student. He doesn’t remember anything, not even his name, except that he was thrown into this cell while alive, then everyone left and he died.

Shadow: Dirge of Weeping Color masterpiece.

Dirge of Weeping Color (Keyboard, Produce Tones)
This mournful tune leaches all color from the area and allows you to attack as a shadow.
Prerequisite: Perform (keyboard) 10 ranks or Perform (produce tones) 10 ranks.
Cost: Feat or 3rd-level bard spell known.
Effect: As this somber piece begins, color begins to bleed from all objects within 20 feet of you. The various hues stream from all directions into your hands, saturating your skin until it is blackened, while rendering all objects around you in stark black and white. For the duration of the performance, you can make a touch attack that deals 1d6 points of Strength damage to any living creature. The creature can attempt a Fortitude save to resist this damage. Any humanoid creature killed by your Strength damage becomes a shadow under your control in 1 round. These shadows exist until you end your performance. Abilities that extend the duration of a bardic performance (such as Lingering Performance) affect this masterpiece.
Use: 1 bardic performance round per round.
Action: 1 full round.

Iron Wight: When a raging barbarian dies destroying a robot, sometimes the anger of the barbarian’s spirit is so great that it lives on in undeath as an iron wight, forming a new body from the remains of its foe. An iron wight is typically 10 feet in height and weighs 2,000 pounds. Their individual forms vary greatly, but all are generally humanoid in shape, and often incorporate pieces of the dead barbarian’s remains, most often the skull, in the new mechanical body.
Voltleech: On rare occasions, when a powerful android succumbs to an undead energy-draining attack, rather than rising as a spawn under the control of its sire, the deceased android turns into a voltleech—a powerful independent undead that feeds on technological power sources and the bioelectrical energy of living creatures.

Ghoul: “You don’t know what that will do to you!” Almelos shouts back at me. My deep blue shirt and leggings and his many-colored robe are both soaked in the blood of our friends. Our squad had been ambushed in the night. The thing hunting us, born into this world from the nightmarish Abyss, used its foul magic to paralyze us as it sucked the life from us with its terrible gaze.
I watched, helpless, as my friends — my brother and sister demon-slayers — died one by one and decayed into ghoulish mockeries of their former selves. Almelos and I fled and barricaded ourselves in a nearby ruin.

Gravestone Dryad: Gravestone dryads are twisted versions of their former selves, created when a dryad's tree is felled near a cemetery. The combination of the dryad's death, loss of her tree, and collective sorrow of the cemetery’s mourners calls to the dryad's soul and reunites it with its former body, which immediately sets out for the graveyard. The first gravestone dryads surfaced in Ustalav and in large battlefields near Geb, but they have since spread to all corners of Golarion.

Zombie: A creature killed in this manner [by a gravestone dryad's entomb ability] automatically rises as a zombie, breaking free of the coffin 1 round later.
In return, fey seek out gravestone dryads to destroy them permanently—though often fey fall prey to their own self-assurance and wind up as zombies under a gravestone dryad’s control.
