Due to the sheer amount of turbulent emotions that the creature has fed upon over the decades, the nixthisis has become a powerful force of Chaos. Like a massive turbine, the nixthisis constantly generates and expels waves of chaotic energy. This energy is causing the normally immutable forces of Law to degrade within the dungeon. On Stonehell‘s lowest levels, this malignant Chaos has transformed sections of the dungeon into nightmare realms of unpredictability, with the nixthisis as their ruler. Closer to the surface, the influence of Chaos is less visible, manifesting mostly in the form of the spontaneously created undead which prowl the upper levels.For many decades, these prisoner-slaves worked away at the gold veins under the mountains. It came to pass that, as the miners dug away at a seam of gold, they uncovered a curious stele entombed in the earth. With the discovery of this ancient stone monolith, the miners unleashed a malevolent spirit back into the world, and, in an orgy of violence and blood, the miners turned on one another. Those who died in the mines rose again in new and awful undead forms.Phantasm: Phantasms are the mindless, ghost-like spirits of those who died from catastrophe and are doomed to continue the actions they performed prior to their deaths.Ghoul: ?Skeleton: ?Zombie: ?Bone Thing: ?Crypt Shade: This undead creature is a roughly human-shaped collection of shadows, dust, rotted burial linens, bone fragments, and other sepulcher debris. Spawned from chaos and lingering hate, crypt shades feed on the fear and pain of their victims.Bone Monkey: Spawned by a mixture of the magical residue in this area and the Chaotic energies of the nixthisis, these creatures are the animated skeletal remains of baboons.Agony: Agonies are the undead spirits of those who were judged unworthy of receiving the Lady of Whips‘ final reward.Pitman: ?Ore Bones: Ore bones are indistinguishable from normal undead skeletons until observed up close. Only then are the mineral deposits that cake their exposed bones discernable. These mineral deposits, similar to those that form stalagmites and other cave formations, have seeped into the marrow of the ore bones‘ skeleton and encrust the exposed bones, making it tougher and more resistant to damage.</blockquote>
