Lich: Legend holds that the first undead creatures came into being when Set tried to make amends with Isis by combining forces with her to restore Osiris to life, using her magic and his knowledge of the forces that dwell in the chaotic outer reaches of existence. The dead husk rampaged across the world for days, before the Lord of Water and Fire grew angry at the noise and shattered it, causing it to break into the first liches, vampires, ghouls, and the other kinds of undead.

Spectral Shadow Dragon: In the Year of the Darkspawn (634 DR), the shadow dragons of Clan Jaezred were overthrown by their own half-drow/half-shadow dragon progeny, known as the zekylen, who had mastered powerful planar magic in secret while purporting to serve their masters. Haerinvureem, a great shadow wyrm better known as “Shimmergloom,” escaped the carnage through the Shadow Plane, but the rest of his clan were slain and reanimated as spectral creatures.

Hoarder Dragon: Hoarders are dragons who were so greedy in life that when they died, they could not abandon their treasure. While they hold many similarities to ghosts, these creatures manifest for entirely different reasons. Their unfettered avarice causes them to haunt the site of their hoard, unwilling to give up a single coin.
In life, most hoarders worshipped Task, the dragon god of greed. Scholars suggest that he rewards them for their service by transforming them into hoarders when they die. They point out that the creatures usually use gems the color of their scales for eyes.
"Hoarder" is a template that can be added to any nongood dragon.
Amilektrevitrioelis, "Amilek", Mature Blue Dragon Hoarder: As Amilek grew in size and greed, he attracted the attention of Task, the dragon god of greed. Most blues have aspirations of tyranny and domination, but Amilek was an exception. Task loved to watch the avaricious blue writhing in his mountains of coins, spending months cataloging his wealth, down to the last copper piece. Amilek was one of Task's favorite, receiving numerous gifts from The Taker throughout the years.
What he did not know was that the spirit of Amilek still existed, called back to the treasure hoard by its dark master.

Forgotten Realms Realms Personalities Ghiz'kith, Devotee of the True Sseth
3.5
Ghiz'kith, Sarrukh Lich Wizard 10/Arcane Devotee of Sseth 5: Driven from Okoth prior to its fall (circa -34,100 DR), Ghiz'kith fled from his defeat at the hands of the foul albino, Pil'it'ith. Retreating into Mhairshaulk, the powerful sarrukh wizard longed for further arcane knowledge. Ultimately, he sought knowledge that would allow him to outlast his enemy and survive into the future, that he might rise to power once again. He scoured his vast personal library for answers, though none could be found. At long last, in the twilight of his life, it looked as though Pil'it'ith had succeeded in finally destroying Ghiz'kith when Ghiz'kith made a desperate plea to Sseth, praying for the knowledge that had eluded him begging for immortality. Sseth responded to his disciple and bestowed upon him knowledge of a process that would transform him body and soul, turning arcane might into the long sleep from which Ghiz'kith would awaken as a lich. To this day, the reason for Sseth's assistance to Ghiz'kith is unknown. Perhaps he had foreseen his imprisonment by the dark god Set or perhaps he did this to test his chosen, Pil'it'ith. Whatever the reason, Ghiz'kith slumbered in an amber chrysalis and slowly changed.
The yuan-ti of Mhairshaulk displayed Ghiz'kith in his amber prison, hanging the massive amber tomb from the ceiling in the grand temple like some misbegotten crystal chandelier. Ghiz'kith's corpse, contained within, served as a constant reminder of the past and the yuan-tis' slavery to the sarrukh. The Time of Troubles came, and indeed Sseth found himself imprisoned by Set. Shortly after Set began granting spells to his sarrukh worshipers, Sseth began struggling against the bonds of eternal slumber. As a result of these struggles, Ghiz'kith awoke, much to the surprise of the yuan-ti of Mhairshaulk, who, upon opening the proceedings of what was to be a grand sacrifice, entered their place of worship to find the amber prison shattered and its former occupant missing. A great hunt for the body of Ghiz'kith ensued, but for a time, he was nowhere to be found.
