As such they are condemned to eternal unlife. Hungry Waters: Hungry waters may come into being wherever someone has drowned; in certain cases, the spirit of the dead may infest the area, causing the water to become a deathtrap for the unwary swimmer. The very waters become the new body of the angry spirit, which is continually seeking to bring new souls to share its eternal torment. With each such drowning victim, the area grows more deadly. Ixitxachitl Vampiric: ?Ixitxachitl Greater Vampiric: They can only achieve this status by being bitten by an existing greater vampiric ixitxachitl. Jalie Squarefoot, The Lich Fiend: ?Malice: A malice is an incarnation of pure spite and wickedness, created by a Grey Philosopher. During their centuries of pondering, a grey philosopher's evil thoughts take on a partly real form, creating "malices," small incarnations of pure spite and wickedness.Odic: An odic is an evil, undead spirit inhabiting the body of a plant. Telekon: The Telekon is a type of wraith-like guardian undead created centuries or even millennia ago. The identity of the creators is unknown, and the process is long lost. However, it is known that they were created from human slaves with psychic ability, through a cruel and torturous procedure of enchantment and magical binding Thoul: Thouls are a fascinating artificial crossbreed of ghoul, hobgoblin, and troll. It is not known where thouls were first created, though they now seem to be fairly well spread throughout the world. Fortunately, their peculiar spawning methods make them a menace that does not grow in numbers rapidly. Wyrd: It is rumored that Wyrds are a plague sent among the elves by their gods. Legends disagree on the purpose of this plague - some say it is to punish them for ancient treachery, others say it is to teach them humility, and still others proclaim that is the elvish destiny to slay (or be slain by) all Wyrds in order to prove themselves worthy of the blessing of the gods. Since groups of elves slain by a wyrd rise as wyrds themselves, the failure of an elven group makes the problem much worse. Any creature with elven blood slain by a wyrd rises in 1d4 days as an independent wyrd. Casting a dispel evil or remove curse spell on the body within this time period prevents this transformation. Creatures lacking elven blood killed by a wyrd do not rise as spawn. Death Knight: A death knight is a horrific form of a lich created by a demon prince (it is thought Demogorgon) from a fallen paladin or favored blackguard. “Death Knight” is a template that can be added to any humanoid paladin (fallen) or blackguard of at least 9th level.Death Knight Paladin 9: ?Dracolich: The dracolich is the undead form of a powerful and evil dragon. Legends say that a mystical cult engendered the first dracolich. “Dracolich” is a template that can be added to any dragon creature.Penanggalan: Penanggalan is a template that can be added to any female humanoid creature.A female victim will rise from the grave in three days as a penanggalan, as a free–willed undead. Should an attempt to raise the victim succeed, the victim will be unable to do anything other than rest for a week, after which all damage done by the penanggalan is healed. Failure means that no further attempt can be made; the process by which the victim becomes a penanggalan is then inexorable. If a penanggalan kills a male victim, he does not return as undead. Penanggalan Human Fighter 4: ?Skeleton Warrior: The skeleton warrior is a lich-like undead lord that was once a powerful fighter of at least 10th-level. Legends tell that the skeleton warriors were forced into their undead lich-like stat many ages ago by a powerful demi-god who trapped each of their souls in a golden circlet. “Skeleton Warrior” is a template that can be added to any humanoid creature.When a fighter is transformed into a skeleton warrior his soul is trapped in a golden circlet. Skeleton Warrior Human Fighter 12: ?Zombie Template: Zombies are corpses reanimated through dark and sinister magic. "Zombie" is a template that can be added to any non-undead corporeal creature that has a skeletal system. Zombie Wolf: ?Lich: ?</blockquote>
