The spirits that have unfinished business arise at night in graveyards and terrorize the living.Draugr: It is animated out of sheer jealousy. The draugr misses its old life and envies the living.Haugbui: The ketta (she-cat) is considered the “mother” of haugbui in the sense that the creature can create such spawn by inhabiting mounds. Haugbui are stirred to undead life by a ketta’s presence.Mummy Aleutian: The Aleuts have considerable knowledge of human anatomy because they mummify the corpses of important people. They achieve mummification by removing the viscera, washing the body in a cold stream, and stuffing it with oiled sphagnum moss for preservation. The bodies of children are also treated in this way. Mummies are wrapped in sealskins, tightly tied, and laid to rest in caves or even in a special compartment of the family dwelling.Rusalka: These beautiful longhaired maidens were once girls who drowned, were strangled, committed suicide, or didn’t receive a proper burial.Ruskaly: Ruskaly are believed to be the unborn souls of children who were not baptized or claimed by a particular religion. Their souls lost and without guidance, they roam the cold forests of Torassia.Snow Angel: Snow angels are formed from the thrashings of good-aligned creatures that succumb to the cold. The snow around them becomes a mist that is shaped like an angel.Snow angels haunt places of avalanches, icefalls, and glaciers—where they died and were left without a proper burial. There are many corpses that are lost deep in ice and snow, only a select few create snow angels.Yek: When a person dies by drowning, he turns into an otter that becomes a werewolf-like creature bent on drowning other humans.Any humanoid slain by a yek becomes a yek in 1d4 rounds.</blockquote>
