It was in the time before written word that a creature evolved without the need to breed, instead seeding its murderous genetic code into other animals with a crushing bloody bite.

One can actually “feel” the places at risk of birthing a Vermincaust, always places that crack and snap underfoot with countless bones. Called “Spite Beds,” creatures walking over them are overcome with a dizzying sickness tainted with anger, while their mind rings with the faint screeches of rats. The birth of a Vermincaust is sudden and explosive, as thousands of skeletons burst up from the Spite Bed with a piercing chorus of shrieks and a whirlwind of bone, earth, and malice.

(AD&D "3RD EDITION" Dungeon Master's Guide)Necromancy spells manipulate the energies of life and death. Such spells can restore life force, drain the life energy from another creature, create the undead, or bring the dead back to life.

It will always be encountered on a stranded funeral barge, unburnt pyre, or the scene of some other incomplete death ritual. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)A coffer corpse has one overriding instinctive urge: as it was denied a complete death, so others shall be denied life. It is bitter over its incomplete death ritual and seeks to take the lives of others in revenge, particularly if it can deny its victims the release of a death ritual. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)This bitterness can be used to some advantage, however, if the means to complete the coffer corpse's death journey can be determined. If the unfinished death ritual which binds the coffer corpse to undeath can be completed, the creature will be released and effectively destroyed. The DM must determine what constitutes a final death ritual. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)Common Zombie: See Zombie Common.Corpse Coffer: See Coffer Corpse.Crawling Claw: The much feared crawling claw is frequently employed as a guardian by those magic-users and clerics who have learned the secret of its creation. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)Crawling claws can be created by any magic-user or cleric who has knowledge of the techniques required to do so. To begin with, the creator must assemble the severed limbs that are to be animated. The maximum number of claws that can be created at any one time is equal to the level of the person enchanting them. The hands (or paws) can be either fresh, skeletal, or at any stage of decomposition in between. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)Crypt Thing: ?Crypt Thing Ancestral: There are two types of crypt things - ancestral and summoned. The former type is a “natural'' creature, while the other is called into existence by a magic-user or cleric of at least 13th level.

This happens only in rare cases (determined by the DM). (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)Crypt Thing Summoned: There are two types of crypt things - ancestral and summoned. The former type is a “natural'' creature, while the other is called into existence by a magic-user or cleric of at least 13th level. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)The most common crypt thing is the summoned variety. By use of a 7th level spell (see below), any caster capable of employing necromantic spells can create a crypt thing. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)Create Crypt Thing spell. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)Death Knight: A death knight is the horrifying corruption of a paladin or lawful good warrior cursed by the gods to its terrible form as punishment for betraying the code of honor it held in life.Death knights are former good warriors who were judged by the gods to be guilty of unforgivable crimes, such as murder or treason. (For instance, Krynn's Lord Soth, the most famous of all death knights, murdered his wife so that he could continue an affair with an elf maid.) (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)Death knights are cursed to remain in their former domains, usually castles or other strongholds. They are further condemned to remember their crime in song on any night when the moon is full; few sounds are as terrifying as a death knight's chilling melody echoing through the moonlit countryside. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)Death Tyrant: See Undead Beholder, Death Tyrant.Demilich: See Lich Demilich.Doomsphere: See Undead Beholder Doomsphere.Dracolich: The dracolich is an undead creature resulting from the unnatural transformation of an evil dragon. The mysterious Cult of the Dragon practices the powerful magic necessary for the creation of the dracolich, though other practitioners are also rumored to exist. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)A dracolich can be created from any of the evil dragon subspecies. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)The creation of a dracolich is a complex process involving the transformation of an evil dragon by arcane magical forces, the most notorious practitioners of which are members of the Cult of the Dragon. The process is usually a cooperative effort between the evil dragon and the wizards, but especially powerful wizards have been known to coerce an evil dragon to undergo the transformation against its will. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)Any evil dragon is a possible candidate for transformation, although old dragons or older with spell-casting abilities are preferred. Once a candidate is secured, the wizards first prepare the dragon's host, an inanimate object that will hold the dragon's life force. The host must be a solid item of not less than 2,000 gp value resistant to decay (wood, for instance, is unsuitable). A gemstone is commonly used for a host, particularly ruby, pearl, carbuncle, and jet, and is often set in the hilt of a sword or other weapon. The host is prepared by casting Enchant an Item upon it and speaking the name of the evil dragon; the item may resist the spell with a successful Item Saving Throw. If the spell is resisted, another item must be used for the host. If the spell is not resisted, the item can then function as a host. If desired, Glassteel can be cast upon the host to protect it. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)Next, a special potion is prepared for the evil dragon to consume. The exact composition of the potion varies according to the age and type of the dragon, but it must contain precisely seven ingredients, among them a potion of evil dragon control, a potion of invulnerability, and the blood of a vampire. When the evil dragon consumes the potion, the results are determined as follows (roll percentile dice): (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)Roll Result01-10 No effect.11-40 Potion does not work. The dragon suffers 2d12 points of necrotic damage and is helpless with convulsions for 1-2 rounds.41-50 Potion does not work. The dragon dies. A Wish or similar spell is needed to restore the dragon to life; a Wish to transform the dragon into a dracolich results in another roll on this table.51-00 Potion works. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)If the potion works, the dragon's spirit transfers to the host, regardless of the distance between the dragon's body and the host. A dim light within the host indicates the presence of the spirit. While contained in the host, the spirit cannot take any actions; it cannot be contacted nor attacked by magic. The spirit can remain in the host indefinitely. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)Once the spirit is contained in the host, the host must be brought within 90 feet of a reptilian corpse; under no circumstances can the spirit possess a living body. The spirit's original body is ideal, but the corpse of any reptilian creature that died or was killed within the previous 30 days is suitable.The wizard who originally prepared the host must touch the host, cast a Magic Jar spell while speaking the name of the dragon, then touch the corpse. The corpse must fail its CHA Saving Throw against the Magic Jar spell for the spirit to successfully possess it; if it saves, it will never accept the spirit. The following modifiers apply to the roll: (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)Modifier Condition-10 The corpse is the spirit's own former body (which can be dead for any length of time). (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)-4 The corpse is of the same alignment as the dragon. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)-4 The corpse is that of a true dragon (any type). (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)-3 The corpse is that of a firedrake, ice lizard, wyvern, or fire lizard. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)-1 The corpse is that of a dracolisk, dragonne, dinosaur, snake, or another reptile. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)If the corpse accepts the spirit, it becomes animated by the spirit. If the animated corpse is the spirit's former body, it immediately becomes a dracolich; however, it will not regain the use of its voice and breath weapon for another seven days (note that it will not be able to cast spells with verbal components during this time). At the end of seven days, the dracolich regains the use of its voice and breath weapon. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)If the animated corpse is not the spirit's former body, it immediately becomes a proto-dracolich. A proto-dracolich has the mind and memories of its original form but has the hit points and immunities to spells and clerics’ turning abilities of a dracolich. A proto-dracolich can neither speak nor cast spells; further, it cannot cause chilling damage, use a breath weapon, or cause fear as a dracolich. Its strength, movement, and Armor Class are those of the possessed body. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)To become a full dracolich, a proto-dracolich must devour at least 10% of its original body. Unless the body has been dispatched to another plane of existence, a proto-dracolich can always sense the presence of its original body, regardless of the distance. A proto-dracolich will tirelessly seek out its original body to the exclusion of all other activities. If its original body has been burned, dismembered, or otherwise destroyed, the proto-dracolich need only devour the ashes or pieces equal to or exceeding 10% of its original body mass (total destruction of the original body is possible only through use of a disintegrate or similar spell; the body could be reconstructed with a wish or similar spell, so long as the spell is cast in the same plane as the disintegration). If a proto-dracolich is unable to devour its original body, it is trapped in its current form until slain. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)A proto-dracolich transforms into a full dracolich within seven days after it devours its original body. When the transformation is complete, the dracolich resembles its original body; it can now speak, cast spells, and employ the breath weapon of its original body, in addition to having all of the abilities of a dracolich. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)Drowned One: See Zombie Sea, Drowned One.Eastern Vampire: See Vampire Eastern.Ghast: See Ghoul Ghast.Ghost: Ghosts are the spirits of humans who were either so greatly evil in life or whose deaths were so unusually emotional they have been cursed with the gift of undead status. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)A ghost often has a specific purpose in its haunting, sometimes trying to “get even'' for something that happened during the ghost's life. Thus, a woman who was jilted by a lover, and then committed suicide, might become a ghost and haunt the couple's secret trysting place. Similarly, a man who failed at business might appear each night at his storefront or, perhaps, at that of a former competitor. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)Another common reason for an individual to become a ghost is the denial of a proper burial. A ghost might inhabit the area near its body, waiting for a passerby to promise to bury the remains. The ghost, in its resentment toward all life, becomes an evil creature intent on destruction and suffering.In rare circumstances, more than one ghost will haunt the same location. The classic example of this is the haunted ship, a vessel lost at sea, now ethereal and crewed entirely by ghosts. These ships are most often encountered in the presence of St. Elmo's fire, an electrical discharge that causes mysterious lights to appear in the rigging of a ship. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)In many cases, a ghost can be overcome by those who might be no match for it in combat simply by setting right whatever events led to the attainment of the ghost's undead status. For example, a young woman who was betrayed and murdered by someone who pretended to love her might be freed from her curse if the cad were humiliated and ruined. In many cases, however, a ghost's revenge will be far more demanding, often ending in the death of the offender. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)Ghoul: Any human or demihuman (except elves) killed by a ghoulish attack will become a ghoul unless blessed. Obviously, this is also avoided if the victim is devoured by the ghouls.

In punishment for their heresies, they are forced to roam the dark. Their spirits, appearance, and holy powers have become perverted mockeries of their old selves. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)Huecuva are malignant spirits that seek to destroy those who still live. They are used as examples to remind clerics the fate that befalls those who stray from their devotion or use their religion as a mask to hide unpious deeds.

(AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)In order to become a lich, the wizard must prepare its phylactery using the Enchant an Item, Magic Jar, Permanency and Reincarnation spells. The phylactery, which can be almost any manner of object, must be of the finest craftsmanship and materials with a value of not less than 1,500 gold pieces per level of the magic-user. Once this object is created, the would-be lich must craft a poison potion, which is then enchanted with the following spells: Wraithform, Permanency, Cone of Cold, Feign Death, and Animate Dead. When next the moon is full, the potion is imbibed. Rather than death, the potion causes the wizard to undergo a transformation into its new state. A DC 13 Constitution Saving Throw is required, with failure indicating an error in the creation of the potion which kills the wizard and renders him forever dead. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)Lich Archlich: ?Lich Demilich: The demilich is not, as the name implies, a weaker form of the lich. Rather, it is the stage into which a lich will eventually evolve as the power which has sustained its physical form gradually begins to fail. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)In order to attain the status of a demilich, a lich must have replaced 5-8 (1d4+4) of its teeth with gems. Each of these gems now serves as a powerful magical device which can trap the soul of its adversaries. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)Monster Skeleton: See Skeleton Monster.Monster Zombie: See Zombie Monster.Mummy: Mummies are corpses native to dry desert areas, where the dead are entombed by a process known as mummification. When their tombs are disturbed, the corpses become animated into a weird undead state, whose unholy hatred of life causes them to attack living things without mercy. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)Mummies are the product of an embalming process used on wealthy and important personages. Most mummies are corpses without magical properties. On occasion, perhaps due to powerful evil magic or perhaps because the individual was so greedy in life that he refuses to give up his treasure, the spirit of the mummified person will not die, but taps into energy from the Positive Material plane and is transformed into an undead horror. Most mummies remain dormant until their treasure is taken, but then they become aroused and kill without mercy. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)To create a mummy, a corpse should be soaked in a preserving solution (typically carbonate of soda) for several weeks and covered with spices and resins. Body organs, such as the heart, brain, and liver, are typically removed and sealed in jars. Sometimes gems are wrapped in the cloth (if the treasure listing for the mummy indicates it possesses gems, a few may be placed in the wrappings). (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)When a greater mummy wishes to create normal mummies as servants, it does so by mummifying persons infected with its rotting disease. This magical process requires 1 day and cannot be disturbed without ruining the enchantment. Persons to be mummified are normally Held or Charmed so that they cannot resist the mummification process. Once the process is completed, victims are helpless to escape the bandages that bind them. If nothing happens to free them, they will die of the mummy rot just as they would have elsewhere. Upon their death, however, a strange transformation takes place. Rather than crumbling away into dust, these poor souls rise again as normal mummies. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)Mummy Greater: Greater mummies are a powerful form of undead created when a high-level lawful evil cleric of certain religions is mummified and charged with the guarding of a burial place. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)Greater mummies are powerful undead creatures that are usually created from the mummified remains of powerful, evil clerics. This being the case, the greater mummy now draws its mystical abilities from evil powers and darkness. In rare cases, however, the mummified clerics served non-evil god in life and are still granted the powers they had in life from those gods. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)The first of these creatures is known to have been produced by Anhktepot, the Lord of Har'akir, in the years before he became undead himself. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)The process by which a greater mummy is created remains a mystery to all but Anhktepot. It is rumored that this process involves a great sacrifice to gain the favor of the gods and an oath of eternal loyalty to the Lord of Har'akir. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)Mummy Greater Age 99 or Less: ?Mummy Greater Age 100-199: ?Mummy Greater Age 200-299: ?Mummy Greater Age 300-399: ?Mummy Greater Age 400-499: ?Mummy Greater Age 500 or More: ?Penanggalan: If a penanggalan kills a male victim, he does not return as undead and may be raised normally. A female victim will rise from the grave in three days as a penanggalan, as a free-willed undead. Should a female victim be raised within those three days, she will be unable to do anything other than rest for a week, after which all damage done by the penanggalan is healed. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)Poltergeist: Poltergeists are the spirits of restless dead. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)Some say that poltergeists are the spirits of those who committed heinous crimes that went unpunished in life. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)Radaga: ?Revenant: Revenants are vengeful spirits that have risen from the grave to destroy their killers. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)Under exceptional circumstances, a character who has died a violent death may rise as a revenant from the grave to wreak vengeance on his killer(s). The chance of this occurring is 1% for every point in ability scores that are 13 or greater. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)If the character died a particularly violent death, it may b unable to reoccupy its original body. In this case, the spirit occupies any available, freshly-dead corpse. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)Sea Zombie: See Zombie Sea, Drowned One.Shadow: If a human, humanoid, or demihuman opponent is reduced to zero Strength or zero hit points by a shadow, the shadow has drained the life force and the opponent becomes a shadow as well. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)According to most knowledgeable sages, shadows appear to have been magically created, perhaps as part of some ancient curse laid upon some long-dead enemy. The curse affects only humans, humanoids, and demihumans, so it would seem that it affects the soul or spirit. When victims no longer can resist, either through loss of consciousness (hit points) or physical prowess (Strength points), the curse is activated, and the majority of the character's essence is shifted to the Negative Material Plane. Only a shadow of their former self remains on the Prime Material Plane, and the transformation always renders the victim both terribly insane and undeniably evil. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)The original body of a victim is destroyed when changed to a shadow whether by the curse itself or by unprotected exposure to the Negative Material Plane. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)Skeleton: All skeletons are magically animated undead monsters, created as guardians or warriors by evil magic-users and clerics.Skeletons appear to have no ligaments or musculature which would allow movement. Instead, the bones are magically joined together during the casting of an Animate Dead spell. Skeletons have no eyes or internal organs. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)Skeletons can be made from the bones of humans and demihumans, animals of human size or smaller, or giant humanoids like bugbears and giants. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)Animate Dead spell. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" Player's Handbook)Skeleton Animal: All skeletons are magically animated undead monsters, created as guardians or warriors by evil magic-users and clerics. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)Skeletons appear to have no ligaments or musculature which would allow movement. Instead, the bones are magically joined together during the casting of an Animate Dead spell. Skeletons have no eyes or internal organs. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)Skeletons can be made from the bones of humans and demihumans, animals of human size or smaller, or giant humanoids like bugbears and giants. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)Skeleton Giant: Giant skeletons are similar to the more common undead skeleton, but they have been created with a combination of spells and are, thus, far more deadly than their lesser counterparts. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)A small, magical fire burns in the chest of each giant skeleton, a byproduct of the magics that are used to make them. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)The first giant skeletons to appear in Ravenloft were created by the undead priestess Radaga in her lair within the domain of Kartakass. Others have since mastered the spells and techniques required to create these monsters; thus, giant skeletons are gradually beginning to appear in other realms where the dead and undead lurk. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)They are created from the bones of those who have died and are abominations in the eyes of all who belief in the sanctity of life and goodness.The process by which giant skeletons are created is dark and evil. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)Attempts to manufacture them outside of Ravenloft have failed, so it is clear that they are in some way linked to the Dark Powers themselves. In order to create a giant skeleton, a spellcaster must have the intact skeleton of a normal human or demihuman. On a night when the land is draped in fog, they must cast an Animate Dead, Produce Fire, Enlarge Person, and a Resist Fire spell over the bones. When the last spell is cast, the bones lengthen and thicken, and the creatures rises up. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)Skeleton Monster: All skeletons are magically animated undead monsters, created as guardians or warriors by evil magic-users and clerics. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)Skeletons appear to have no ligaments or musculature which would allow movement. Instead, the bones are magically joined together during the casting of an Animate Dead spell. Skeletons have no eyes or internal organs. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)Skeletons can be made from the bones of humans and demihumans, animals of human size or smaller, or giant humanoids like bugbears and giants. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)Skeleton Warrior: Formerly powerful fighters, skeleton warriors are undead lords forced into their nightmarish states by powerful wizards or evil demigods who trapped their souls in golden circlets. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)Son of Kyuss: Sons of Kyuss are horrible undead beings that convert living humans and demihumans into cursed undead like themselves. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)In addition to flailing fists, one worm per round attempts to jump from a son’s head to a character the son is in melee with. The worm needs only to roll a successful attack roll (as a 4 Hit Die creature) to land on the victim. The worm burrows into the victim on the next round unless torn free (DC 12 Athletics skill check) or killed by the touch of cold iron, holy water, or a blessed object. A worm that is torn from a victim immediately attacks the creature that tore it free. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)After penetrating the victim's skin, the worm burrows toward the victim’s brain, taking 1d4 rounds to reach it. During this time a Remove Curse or Cure Disease spell will kill the worm and Neutralize Poison or Dispel Evil will delay the worm for 1d6 x 10 minutes. If the worm reaches the brain, the victim dies immediately and becomes a son of Kyuss. Decay and putrification set in without further delay. (AD&D "3RD EDITION" MONSTROUS MANUAL)Kyuss was an evil high priest who created the first of these creatures, via a special curse, under instruction from an evil deity.

Since such men and women are frequently buried together, in the case of the wealthy, or with their families, wraiths are most commonly encountered in packs. Those that died or were buried alone might still be encountered in packs, because a human who dies from the touch of a wraith becomes a wraith under the sway of its slayer.

In most cases, they are created through the magic of evil beings - from human mages to illithid villains. Some outcast, magic-using beholders have even been known to create death tyrants from their own unfortunate brethren.Death tyrants are created from dying beholders. A spell, thought to have been developed by human mages in the remote past, forces a beholder from a living to an undead state, and imprints its brain with instructions.Casharin: ?Doomsphere: This ghost-like undead beholder is created by magical explosions.Coffer Corpse: The coffer corpse is an undead creature seeking its final rest. It will always be encountered on a stranded funeral barge, unburnt pyre, or the scene of some other incomplete death ritual.A coffer corpse has one overriding instinctive urge: as it was denied a complete death, so others shall be denied life. It is bitter over its incomplete death ritual and seeks to take the lives of others in revenge, particularly if it can deny its victims the release of a death ritual.This bitterness can be used to some advantage, however, if the means to complete the coffer corpse's death journey can be determined. If the unfinished death ritual which binds the coffer corpse to undeath can be completed, the creature will be released and effectively destroyed. The DM must determine what constitutes a final death ritual.Crawling Claw: The much feared crawling claw is frequently employed as a guardian by those magic-users and clerics who have learned the secret of its creation.Crawling claws can be created by any magic-user or cleric who has knowledge of the techniques required to do so. To begin with, the creator must assemble the severed limbs that are to be animated. The maximum number of claws that can be created at any one time is equal to the level of the person enchanting them. The hands (or paws) can be either fresh, skeletal, or at any stage of decomposition in between.Crypt Thing: ?Crypt Thing Ancestral: There are two types of crypt things - ancestral and summoned. The former type is a “natural'' creature, while the other is called into existence by a magic-user or cleric of at least 13th level.Ancestral crypt things are the raised spirits of the dead that have returned to guard the tombs of their descendants. This happens only in rare cases (determined by the DM).Crypt Thing Summoned: There are two types of crypt things - ancestral and summoned. The former type is a “natural'' creature, while the other is called into existence by a magic-user or cleric of at least 13th level.The most common crypt thing is the summoned variety. By use of a 7th level spell (see below), any caster capable of employing necromantic spells can create a crypt thing.Create Crypt Thing spell.Death Knight: A death knight is the horrifying corruption of a paladin or lawful good warrior cursed by the gods to its terrible form as punishment for betraying the code of honor it held in life.Death knights are former good warriors who were judged by the gods to be guilty of unforgivable crimes, such as murder or treason. (For instance, Krynn's Lord Soth, the most famous of all death knights, murdered his wife so that he could continue an affair with an elf maid.)Death knights are cursed to remain in their former domains, usually castles or other strongholds. They are further condemned to remember their crime in song on any night when the moon is full; few sounds are as terrifying as a death knight's chilling melody echoing through the moonlit countryside.Dracolich: The dracolich is an undead creature resulting from the unnatural transformation of an evil dragon. The mysterious Cult of the Dragon practices the powerful magic necessary for the creation of the dracolich, though other practitioners are also rumored to exist.A dracolich can be created from any of the evil dragon subspecies.The creation of a dracolich is a complex process involving the transformation of an evil dragon by arcane magical forces, the most notorious practitioners of which are members of the Cult of the Dragon. The process is usually a cooperative effort between the evil dragon and the wizards, but especially powerful wizards have been known to coerce an evil dragon to undergo the transformation against its will.Any evil dragon is a possible candidate for transformation, although old dragons or older with spell-casting abilities are preferred. Once a candidate is secured, the wizards first prepare the dragon's host, an inanimate object that will hold the dragon's life force. The host must be a solid item of not less than 2,000 gp value resistant to decay (wood, for instance, is unsuitable). A gemstone is commonly used for a host, particularly ruby, pearl, carbuncle, and jet, and is often set in the hilt of a sword or other weapon. The host is prepared by casting Enchant an Item upon it and speaking the name of the evil dragon; the item may resist the spell with a successful Item Saving Throw. If the spell is resisted, another item must be used for the host. If the spell is not resisted, the item can then function as a host. If desired, Glassteel can be cast upon the host to protect it.Next, a special potion is prepared for the evil dragon to consume. The exact composition of the potion varies according to the age and type of the dragon, but it must contain precisely seven ingredients, among them a potion of evil dragon control, a potion of invulnerability, and the blood of a vampire. When the evil dragon consumes the potion, the results are determined as follows (roll percentile dice):Roll Result01-10 No effect.11-40 Potion does not work. The dragon suffers 2d12 points of necrotic damage and is helpless with convulsions for 1-2 rounds.41-50 Potion does not work. The dragon dies. A Wish or similar spell is needed to restore the dragon to life; a Wish to transform the dragon into a dracolich results in another roll on this table.51-00 Potion works.If the potion works, the dragon's spirit transfers to the host, regardless of the distance between the dragon's body and the host. A dim light within the host indicates the presence of the spirit. While contained in the host, the spirit cannot take any actions; it cannot be contacted nor attacked by magic. The spirit can remain in the host indefinitely.Once the spirit is contained in the host, the host must be brought within 90 feet of a reptilian corpse; under no circumstances can the spirit possess a living body. The spirit's original body is ideal, but the corpse of any reptilian creature that died or was killed within the previous 30 days is suitable.The wizard who originally prepared the host must touch the host, cast a Magic Jar spell while speaking the name of the dragon, then touch the corpse. The corpse must fail its CHA Saving Throw against the Magic Jar spell for the spirit to successfully possess it; if it saves, it will never accept the spirit. The following modifiers apply to the roll:Modifier Condition-10 The corpse is the spirit's own former body (which can be dead for any length of time).-4 The corpse is of the same alignment as the dragon.-4 The corpse is that of a true dragon (any type).-3 The corpse is that of a firedrake, ice lizard, wyvern, or fire lizard.-1 The corpse is that of a dracolisk, dragonne, dinosaur, snake, or another reptile.If the corpse accepts the spirit, it becomes animated by the spirit. If the animated corpse is the spirit's former body, it immediately becomes a dracolich; however, it will not regain the use of its voice and breath weapon for another seven days (note that it will not be able to cast spells with verbal components during this time). At the end of seven days, the dracolich regains the use of its voice and breath weapon.If the animated corpse is not the spirit's former body, it immediately becomes a proto-dracolich. A proto-dracolich has the mind and memories of its original form but has the hit points and immunities to spells and clerics’ turning abilities of a dracolich. A proto-dracolich can neither speak nor cast spells; further, it cannot cause chilling damage, use a breath weapon, or cause fear as a dracolich. Its strength, movement, and Armor Class are those of the possessed body.To become a full dracolich, a proto-dracolich must devour at least 10% of its original body. Unless the body has been dispatched to another plane of existence, a proto-dracolich can always sense the presence of its original body, regardless of the distance. A proto-dracolich will tirelessly seek out its original body to the exclusion of all other activities. If its original body has been burned, dismembered, or otherwise destroyed, the proto-dracolich need only devour the ashes or pieces equal to or exceeding 10% of its original body mass (total destruction of the original body is possible only through use of a disintegrate or similar spell; the body could be reconstructed with a wish or similar spell, so long as the spell is cast in the same plane as the disintegration). If a proto-dracolich is unable to devour its original body, it is trapped in its current form until slain.A proto-dracolich transforms into a full dracolich within seven days after it devours its original body. When the transformation is complete, the dracolich resembles its original body; it can now speak, cast spells, and employ the breath weapon of its original body, in addition to having all of the abilities of a dracolich.Ghost: Ghosts are the spirits of humans who were either so greatly evil in life or whose deaths were so unusually emotional they have been cursed with the gift of undead status.A ghost often has a specific purpose in its haunting, sometimes trying to “get even'' for something that happened during the ghost's life. Thus, a woman who was jilted by a lover, and then committed suicide, might become a ghost and haunt the couple's secret trysting place. Similarly, a man who failed at business might appear each night at his storefront or, perhaps, at that of a former competitor.Another common reason for an individual to become a ghost is the denial of a proper burial. A ghost might inhabit the area near its body, waiting for a passerby to promise to bury the remains. The ghost, in its resentment toward all life, becomes an evil creature intent on destruction and suffering.In rare circumstances, more than one ghost will haunt the same location. The classic example of this is the haunted ship, a vessel lost at sea, now ethereal and crewed entirely by ghosts. These ships are most often encountered in the presence of St. Elmo's fire, an electrical discharge that causes mysterious lights to appear in the rigging of a ship.In many cases, a ghost can be overcome by those who might be no match for it in combat simply by setting right whatever events led to the attainment of the ghost's undead status. For example, a young woman who was betrayed and murdered by someone who pretended to love her might be freed from her curse if the cad were humiliated and ruined. In many cases, however, a ghost's revenge will be far more demanding, often ending in the death of the offender.Ghoul: Any human or demihuman (except elves) killed by a ghoulish attack will become a ghoul unless blessed. Obviously, this is also avoided if the victim is devoured by the ghouls.Lacedon: ?Ghast: ?Huge Undead Horse of Shifting Bone: ?Huecuva: Legends tell that huecuva are the restless spirits of monastic clerics who were less than faithful to their holy vows. In punishment for their heresies, they are forced to roam the dark. Their spirits, appearance, and holy powers have become perverted mockeries of their old selves.Huecuva are malignant spirits that seek to destroy those who still live. They are used as examples to remind clerics the fate that befalls those who stray from their devotion or use their religion as a mask to hide unpious deeds.Lich: They were originally magic-users of at least 18th level.In order to become a lich, the wizard must prepare its phylactery using the Enchant an Item, Magic Jar, Permanency and Reincarnation spells. The phylactery, which can be almost any manner of object, must be of the finest craftsmanship and materials with a value of not less than 1,500 gold pieces per level of the magic-user. Once this object is created, the would-be lich must craft a poison potion, which is then enchanted with the following spells: Wraithform, Permanency, Cone of Cold, Feign Death, and Animate Dead. When next the moon is full, the potion is imbibed. Rather than death, the potion causes the wizard to undergo a transformation into its new state. A DC 13 Constitution Saving Throw is required, with failure indicating an error in the creation of the potion which kills the wizard and renders him forever dead.Demilich: The demilich is not, as the name implies, a weaker form of the lich. Rather, it is the stage into which a lich will eventually evolve as the power which has sustained its physical form gradually begins to fail.In order to attain the status of a demilich, a lich must have replaced 5-8 (1d4+4) of its teeth with gems. Each of these gems now serves as a powerful magical device which can trap the soul of its adversaries.Archlich: ?Mummy: Mummies are corpses native to dry desert areas, where the dead are entombed by a process known as mummification. When their tombs are disturbed, the corpses become animated into a weird undead state, whose unholy hatred of life causes them to attack living things without mercy.Mummies are the product of an embalming process used on wealthy and important personages. Most mummies are corpses without magical properties. On occasion, perhaps due to powerful evil magic or perhaps because the individual was so greedy in life that he refuses to give up his treasure, the spirit of the mummified person will not die, but taps into energy from the Positive Material plane and is transformed into an undead horror. Most mummies remain dormant until their treasure is taken, but then they become aroused and kill without mercy.To create a mummy, a corpse should be soaked in a preserving solution (typically carbonate of soda) for several weeks and covered with spices and resins. Body organs, such as the heart, brain, and liver, are typically removed and sealed in jars. Sometimes gems are wrapped in the cloth (if the treasure listing for the mummy indicates it possesses gems, a few may be placed in the wrappings).When a greater mummy wishes to create normal mummies as servants, it does so by mummifying persons infected with its rotting disease. This magical process requires 1 day and cannot be disturbed without ruining the enchantment. Persons to be mummified are normally Held or Charmed so that they cannot resist the mummification process. Once the process is completed, victims are helpless to escape the bandages that bind them. If nothing happens to free them, they will die of the mummy rot just as they would have elsewhere. Upon their death, however, a strange transformation takes place. Rather than crumbling away into dust, these poor souls rise again as normal mummies.Greater Mummy: Greater mummies are a powerful form of undead created when a high-level lawful evil cleric of certain religions is mummified and charged with the guarding of a burial place.Greater mummies are powerful undead creatures that are usually created from the mummified remains of powerful, evil clerics. This being the case, the greater mummy now draws its mystical abilities from evil powers and darkness. In rare cases, however, the mummified clerics served non-evil god in life and are still granted the powers they had in life from those gods.The first of these creatures is known to have been produced by Anhktepot, the Lord of Har'akir, in the years before he became undead himself.The process by which a greater mummy is created remains a mystery to all but Anhktepot. It is rumored that this process involves a great sacrifice to gain the favor of the gods and an oath of eternal loyalty to the Lord of Har'akir.Greater Mummy Age 99 or Less: ?Greater Mummy Age 100-199: ?Greater Mummy Age 200-299: ?Greater Mummy Age 300-399: ?Greater Mummy Age 400-499: ?Greater Mummy Age 500 or More: ?Anhktepot: ?Penanggalan: If a penanggalan kills a male victim, he does not return as undead and may be raised normally. A female victim will rise from the grave in three days as a penanggalan, as a free-willed undead. Should a female victim be raised within those three days, she will be unable to do anything other than rest for a week, after which all damage done by the penanggalan is healed.Poltergeist: Poltergeists are the spirits of restless dead.Some say that poltergeists are the spirits of those who committed heinous crimes that went unpunished in life.Revenant: Revenants are vengeful spirits that have risen from the grave to destroy their killers.Under exceptional circumstances, a character who has died a violent death may rise as a revenant from the grave to wreak vengeance on his killer(s). The chance of this occurring is 1% for every point in ability scores that are 13 or greater.If the character died a particularly violent death, it may b unable to reoccupy its original body. In this case, the spirit occupies any available, freshly-dead corpse.Shadow: If a human, humanoid, or demihuman opponent is reduced to zero Strength or zero hit points by a shadow, the shadow has drained the life force and the opponent becomes a shadow as well.According to most knowledgeable sages, shadows appear to have been magically created, perhaps as part of some ancient curse laid upon some long-dead enemy. The curse affects only humans, humanoids, and demihumans, so it would seem that it affects the soul or spirit. When victims no longer can resist, either through loss of consciousness (hit points) or physical prowess (Strength points), the curse is activated, and the majority of the character's essence is shifted to the Negative Material Plane. Only a shadow of their former self remains on the Prime Material Plane, and the transformation always renders the victim both terribly insane and undeniably evil.The original body of a victim is destroyed when changed to a shadow whether by the curse itself or by unprotected exposure to the Negative Material Plane.Skeleton: All skeletons are magically animated undead monsters, created as guardians or warriors by evil magic-users and clerics.Skeletons appear to have no ligaments or musculature which would allow movement. Instead, the bones are magically joined together during the casting of an Animate Dead spell. Skeletons have no eyes or internal organs.Skeletons can be made from the bones of humans and demihumans, animals of human size or smaller, or giant humanoids like bugbears and giants.Animal Skeleton: All skeletons are magically animated undead monsters, created as guardians or warriors by evil magic-users and clerics.Skeletons appear to have no ligaments or musculature which would allow movement. Instead, the bones are magically joined together during the casting of an Animate Dead spell. Skeletons have no eyes or internal organs.Skeletons can be made from the bones of humans and demihumans, animals of human size or smaller, or giant humanoids like bugbears and giants.Monster Skeleton: All skeletons are magically animated undead monsters, created as guardians or warriors by evil magic-users and clerics.Skeletons appear to have no ligaments or musculature which would allow movement. Instead, the bones are magically joined together during the casting of an Animate Dead spell. Skeletons have no eyes or internal organs.Skeletons can be made from the bones of humans and demihumans, animals of human size or smaller, or giant humanoids like bugbears and giants.Giant Skeleton: Giant skeletons are similar to the more common undead skeleton, but they have been created with a combination of spells and are, thus, far more deadly than their lesser counterparts.A small, magical fire burns in the chest of each giant skeleton, a byproduct of the magics that are used to make them.The first giant skeletons to appear in Ravenloft were created by the undead priestess Radaga in her lair within the domain of Kartakass. Others have since mastered the spells and techniques required to create these monsters; thus, giant skeletons are gradually beginning to appear in other realms where the dead and undead lurk.They are created from the bones of those who have died and are abominations in the eyes of all who belief in the sanctity of life and goodness.The process by which giant skeletons are created is dark and evil.Attempts to manufacture them outside of Ravenloft have failed, so it is clear that they are in some way linked to the Dark Powers themselves. In order to create a giant skeleton, a spellcaster must have the intact skeleton of a normal human or demihuman. On a night when the land is draped in fog, they must cast an Animate Dead, Produce Fire, Enlarge Person, and a Resist Fire spell over the bones. When the last spell is cast, the bones lengthen and thicken, and the creatures rises up.Radaga: ?Skeleton Warrior: Formerly powerful fighters, skeleton warriors are undead lords forced into their nightmarish states by powerful wizards or evil demigods who trapped their souls in golden circlets.Son of Kyuss: Sons of Kyuss are horrible undead beings that convert living humans and demihumans into cursed undead like themselves.In addition to flailing fists, one worm per round attempts to jump from a son’s head to a character the son is in melee with. The worm needs only to roll a successful attack roll (as a 4 Hit Die creature) to land on the victim. The worm burrows into the victim on the next round unless torn free (DC 12 Athletics skill check) or killed by the touch of cold iron, holy water, or a blessed object. A worm that is torn from a victim immediately attacks the creature that tore it free.After penetrating the victim's skin, the worm burrows toward the victim’s brain, taking 1d4 rounds to reach it. During this time a Remove Curse or Cure Disease spell will kill the worm and Neutralize Poison or Dispel Evil will delay the worm for 1d6 x 10 minutes. If the worm reaches the brain, the victim dies immediately and becomes a son of Kyuss. Decay and putrification set in without further delay.Kyuss was an evil high priest who created the first of these creatures, via a special curse, under instruction from an evil deity. Since then the number of sons has increased dramatically.Spectre: Any being totally drained of life energy by a spectre becomes a full-strength spectre under the control of the spectre which drained him.No one knows who the first spectre was or how it came to be.Lemures are occasionally transformed into wraiths or spectres, as well.Spectral Troll, Troll Wraith: ?Vampire: Any human or humanoid creature slain by the life energy drain of a vampire is doomed to become a vampire himself.The transformation takes place one day after the burial of the creature.Those who are not actually buried, however, do not become undead and it is thus traditional that the bodies of a vampire's victims be burned or similarly destroyed.Eastern Vampire: ?Wight: Persons who are slain by the energy draining powers of a wight are doomed to rise again as wights under the direct control of their slayer.A character drained below 1st level is instantly slain. Depending on the creature that killed the character, the character may rise the next night as a monster of that kind. If not, the character rises as a wight. Wraith: The wraith is an evil undead spirit of a powerful human that seeks to absorb human life energy.Persons who are slain by the energy draining powers of a wraith are doomed to rise again as wraiths under the direct control of their slayer.A wraith is an undead spirit of a powerful, evil human. As such, it is usually found in tombs or places where such men andwomen would have died. Since such men and women are frequently buried together, in the case of the wealthy, or with their families, wraiths are most commonly encountered in packs. Those that died or were buried alone might still be encountered in packs, because a human who dies from the touch of a wraith becomes a wraith under the sway of its slayer.Lemures are occasionally transformed into wraiths or spectres, as well.It is noted that a humanoid slain by a spectral troll becomes a wraith in three days, unless a proper burial ceremony is performed by a cleric of the victim's religion.Zombie: A Cure Disease or Remove Curse spell will transform a son of Kyuss into a zombie, but both spells require that the cleric touch the son.The odor of death surrounding the zombie lord is so potent it causes horrible effects in those who breathe it. On the first round a character comes within 60 feet, he must make a DC 13 CON save or be affected in some way. The following results are possible:1d6 Roll Effect1 Weakness (as the Symbol of Weakness spell).2 Cause disease (as the spell).3 -1d3 points of Constitution.4 Contagion (as the spell).5 Character unable to act for 1d4 rounds due to nausea.6 Character dies in 1d4 rounds and becomes a zombie under control of the zombie lord.Common Zombie: Zombies are mindless, animated corpses controlled by their creators, usually evil wizards or clerics.The dead body of any humanoid creature can be made into a zombie.Monster Zombie: Zombies are mindless, animated corpses controlled by their creators, usually evil wizards or clerics.The dead body of any humanoid creature can be made into a zombie.Ju-Ju Zombie: These creatures are made when a magic-user drains the life force from a Medium-sized humanoid creature with an Energy Drain spell.Zombie Lord: They are formed on rare occasions as the result of a Raise Dead spell gone awry.The zombie lord comes into being by chance, and only under certain conditions. First, an evil human must die at the hand of an undead creature. Second, an attempt to raise the character must be made. Third, the corpse must be on desecrated ground or in an area of great evil. Fourth and last, a deity of evil must show “favor” to the deceased and curse him or her with the “gift of eternal life.” Within one week of the raise attempt, the corpse awakens as a zombie lord.Sea Zombie, Drowned One: Sea zombies (also known as drowned ones) are the animated corpses of humans who died at sea. Although similar to land-dwelling zombies, they are free-willed and are rumored to be animated by the will of the god Nerull the Reaper (or another similar evil deity).Many of the humans who become drowned ones were clerics while alive, and they retain their powers as undead.Vampire Cleric 7: ?Vampire Cleric 8: ?Vampire Cleric 9: ?Vampire Cleric 10: ?Vampire Mage 9: ?Vampire Mage 10: ?Vampire Mage 11: ?Vampire Mage 12: ?Create Crypt Thing (Reversible)NecromanticLevel: Cleric 7, Magic-User 7Components: V, SCasting Time: 1 actionRange: TouchTarget: 1 corpseDuration: PermanentSaving Throw: None; Charisma negates for reverse of spellMagic Resistance: None; Yes for the reverse of spellThis spell enables the caster to cause a single dead body to animate and assume the status of a crypt thing. This spell can be cast only in the tomb or grave area the crypt thing is to protect; the spell requires that the caster touch the skull of the subject body. Once animated, the crypt thing remains until destroyed. Only one crypt thing may guard a given tomb.A successful Dispel Magic spell returns the crypt thing to its original unanimated state. Attempts to restore the crypt thing before this is done fail for any magic short of a Wish.The reverse of this spell, Destroy Crypt Thing, utterly annihilates any one such being as soon as it is touched by the caster.

The undead can follow you, or they can remain in an area and attack any creature (or just a specific kind of creature) entering the place. They remain animated until they are destroyed. (A destroyed skeleton or zombie can’t be animated again.)Regardless of the type of undead you create with this spell, you can’t create more HD of undead than your caster level with a single casting of animate dead. (The Desecrate spell or a desecrated area doubles this limit).The undead you create remain under your control indefinitely. No matter how many times you use this spell, however, you can control only 2 HD worth of undead creatures per caster level. If you exceed this number, all the newly created creatures fall under your control, and any excess undead from previous castings become uncontrolled. (You choose which creatures are released.) If you are a cleric, any undead you might command by virtue of your power to command undead do not count toward the limit.• Skeletons: A skeleton can be created only from a mostly intact corpse or skeleton. The corpse must have bones. If a skeleton is made from a corpse, the flesh falls off the bones.• Zombies: A zombie can be created only from a mostly intact corpse.Material Component: You must place a black onyx gem worth at least 25 gp per Hit Die of the undead into the mouth or eye socket of each corpse you intend to animate. The magic of the spell turns these gems into worthless, burned-out shells. Clerics must also have their holy symbol at hand when casting this spell.Energy DrainNecromancyLevel: Cleric 9, Magic-User 9Components: V, S, MCasting Time: 1 actionRange: TouchTarget: 1 living or undead creatureDuration: Instantaneous; see textSaving Throw: Constitution partial; see textMagic Resistance: YesThe creature touched by the caster loses 2d4 levels of experience.

(The Zombie Hack Scratcher Zombies)Zombie Shambling Hulk: ?Zombie Soldier: ?Zombie Viking: The Vikings did settle the site and in time they buried their dead and pass away, but they were exiles rather than explorers. Ragnvald Oskarsson possessed strong beliefs about the honoured dead and the end of things, and in return his tribe banished him. But with him he took his followers and his previous stores of knowledge gathered from trading trips to the Middle East. (The Cthulhu Hack Convicts and Cthulhu)Over time, as his beloved and trusted followers passed on, he prepared their bodies and sealed their ‘essential saltes of humane dust’ in jars. Each jar had its place in the communal burial chamber, alongside the long ship that would transport them to the final battle. And Ragnvald possessed the vital knowledge to secure their return, a ritual to extract a precious drop of the venom of Jörmungandr, the World Serpent itself. (The Cthulhu Hack Convicts and Cthulhu)When Mason stumbled upon the entrance to the burial place, he found the words of Ragnvald inscribed upon exquisite sheets of metal, their surface barely dulled with age. He researched and practised the rituals presented, distilling the venom as the long dead Viking had instructed. He gathered samples of the saltes into his private quarters, securing them in a locked chest; but, his other ‘fascinations’ led him astray and he didn’t return for the chest before heading south. He fully intended to return. (The Cthulhu Hack Convicts and Cthulhu)The tremor tore a gash in the earth beneath Mason’s quarters, sending shelves and cupboards crashing – and the chest dashed upon the floor. The venom mixed with the saltes … and things stirred in the wake of the destruction.

Ragnvald Oskarsson possessed strong beliefs about the honoured dead and the end of things, and in return his tribe banished him. But with him he took his followers and his previous stores of knowledge gathered from trading trips to the Middle East.Over time, as his beloved and trusted followers passed on, he prepared their bodies and sealed their ‘essential saltes of humane dust’ in jars. Each jar had its place in the communal burial chamber, alongside the long ship that would transport them to the final battle. And Ragnvald possessed the vital knowledge to secure their return, a ritual to extract a precious drop of the venom of Jörmungandr, the World Serpent itself.When Mason stumbled upon the entrance to the burial place, he found the words of Ragnvald inscribed upon exquisite sheets of metal, their surface barely dulled with age. He researched and practised the rituals presented, distilling the venom as the long dead Viking had instructed. He gathered samples of the saltes into his private quarters, securing them in a locked chest; but, his other ‘fascinations’ led him astray and he didn’t return for the chest before heading south. He fully intended to return.The tremor tore a gash in the earth beneath Mason’s quarters, sending shelves and cupboards crashing – and the chest dashed upon the floor.

(Ilshara Gazetteer)In Lingusia, returning from the dead is not easy. Few local clerics have the ability, and fewer still would use it out of hand or without good cause. Evil clerics are much likelier to use it … but corruption of the risen can happen, and anytime an evil cleric raises someone there is a cumulative 3% chance that person will rise as a powerful undead, instead! (The Keepers of Lingusia)The tales of this victory are not unblemished, however, for the bards of Dra’in say that Erik Kharam earned his victory by making a pact with the Banshee Liawnenshe, a diabolical spirit of the Silver Mountains who knew the secrets to Anharak’s defeat. She offered them to Kharam, for a price. He was to take her as his wife, thus freeing her of her curse. (The Keepers of Lingusia)Kharam agreed, but could not bring himself to marry the hideous spirit, and reneged on his agreement after Anharak was defeated (some say Anharak was defeated by a knight errant of the Yllmar, as well, and that Kharam didn’t even accomplish this much). Liawnenshe was mortified, and cursed Kharam and his kingdom to an eternity of haunted strife. So it is said, the tale goes, that Dra’in became the damnable place it is. (The Keepers of Lingusia)In fact, Dra’in might not seem so terrible to those who have visited some other, harsher realms, but the troubles of living in a domain where all warriors seemed doomed to fall in battle and rise as restless undead seem very much difficult to an everyday peasant. The people of the land are fearful of their very shadows, and take special measures to seal corpses in to coffins, or enact elaborate rituals to put the restless spirits to rest. The dead return to life all too easily in this land. (The Keepers of Lingusia)The Hor Shaol can create any type of undead except other Hor Shoal.

(Castle Keeper's Guide to the Haunted Highlands)Demiurge Demon Lord, Belphegor, The Corruptor: This fallen demiurge of Chaos is said to have died more deaths than most. Having been an ancient devonin lord ensorcelled in to the service of the Prehunate Empire ten thousand years ago, Belphegor was slain on the fields of battle when the gods cast down the heretical pre-human civilization of old. Thousands of years later, the dark necromancers of the Kadantanian Empire sought to resurrect the demon god, and he was brought to life through much sacrifice, rising from the festering remains of his subterranean tomb to live anew. For centuries, the Kadantanians were a force to be reckoned with, but at last they were destroyed in war, and Belphegor’s vampiric undeath could not be sustained. He fell once again in to deathly slumber, only to be awakened again by agents of Draskis, in which descendents of the Kadantanian necromancers had found new power. He became the god of the Draskis, and in a period of war and strife, the kingdom of Draskis almost destroyed the eastern kingdom of Cymeer. Belphegor was summoned on the fields of battle, in which the Cymeeri god Amehwy and his seraphim minions were also summoned, and the dark god slew the Cymeeri demiurge. It was a terrible blow, and Draskis swept over their foes like a great tidal wave, but during the Reckoning, the powers of Chaos were smitten by the triumph of Order, and Belphegor’s life force was once again drained, and the terrible beast fell. His followers, sundered and marked with the taint of the sherigras, built the Draskis Necropolis about his festering corpse, hoping to find a way to channel new energies in to his body. Eventually, the Cymeeri people rose up against their oppressors, and conquered the Draskis people. The Necropolis Draskis fell silent, no more desperate offerings brought to it. It seemed that Belphegor would rest forever more. (The Keepers of Lingusia)Most recently, the Red Dragon Comet appeared in the sky, heralding an eons old return of the great balance. The comet was stricken from the sky by the might of the new Dark Lord of Chaos, as Xauraun Vestillios stole the power of his forebears, and the rain of debris from the comet brought an explosion of raw chaos energy upon the land. One such meteor plunged in to the heart of the Necropolis Draskis, and penetrated the heart of Belphegor. Like a cardiac patient under the paddles, his necrotic being shook with painful awareness, and he was once again brought to vampiric life. Now, infused with new power, Belphegor schemes to draw forth new followers and carve out a new empire of darkness in the land.

She cursed her family, fled the town and laughed in scorn when the city disappeared. She gathered with the refugees near the Cuft Gorge and helped them build a home of loose rock. In time, however, she began to steal from them, and later, when winter struck and food ran short, she stole more. She was eventually found out and driven out of the makeshift town. They hounded her over the bridge and drove her into the snow to die. (The Long Valley)But she did not die, for she was pickled with hate for all living things, and this hate kept her warm. She found shelter under the eastern side of the , and there carved out a hovel where she found some comfort. (The Long Valley)When the first of the refugees died, she took note and watched as the others buried him. When they left the grave, she dug up the body and gnawed upon it, devouring the flesh raw. She tried to hide her crimes but was too weak. So, she took a rock and cut the remains into pieces and bore it back across the bridge to her lonely world. There, she buried the meat in the dirt.The others soon discovered her crime but were too weak to pursue her, for the snows were deep and the food already gone. Three more died and were buried in shallow graves, only to suffer the indignity of becoming Ealuta’s meal, one after the other. What followed was a nightmare of death, murder and a witch’s haunt, until at last some few fled into the west to find succor and only one remained, a young girl, whose brother lay in the cold ground. She would not leave his side for him to become a meal for the witch. (The Long Valley)So Ealuta found her, kneeling in the snow over her brother’s grave, and she sought to make a fresh kill and eat her there and then while the meat was still warm. Her clawed hand grasped the child’s throat to choke the life from it, but far faster and more agile, the child spun and struck Ealuta across the brow with a rock. The witch fell back into the snow, and the girl leapt upon her and stove her head in with the rock. With the last of her strength she took the witch by the hair and dragged her to her gorge and cast her mangled body to the floor far below. With that she left her brother and the valley to the east and came in time to the Massif and the people there where it is said she prospered, but would never speak of those dark days but to her own children. (The Long Valley)The tale did not end there, however, for Ealuta rose from the gorge, a twisted creature of evil and spite. Wild and without purpose, she haunted the bridge slaying any and all who came to it. Driven by a hunger she could not satisfy, she dwelt there from that day to this.

The Hagarant Lords were a coven of nobles and powerful mages who swore fealty to the mad god Slithotep in exchange for immortality. The unexpected result of their immortality was a slow descent in to madness and undeath. (The Keepers of Lingusia)Hagarant Lord, Veregnar Gonn Dalpuris: Veregnar Gonn Dalpuris was a powerful duke seven centuries ago who had an unfortunate habit of taking on mistresses behind his wife’s back. He was seduced by a woman named Melantha, who was in fact a member of the Black Society in Octzel, a vampiress and half-demon who lured him in to the study of the dark arts of chaos and the worship of Slithotep, the mad god. Veregnar was swayed by this cult and joined the movement, becoming a potent wizard. In time, their plot was foiled and he was one of the few survivors, who stole away and hid in a tomb-like secret enclave in the city sewers, where he went undiscovered in an undead slumber.

He’d spent half a lifetime in the shadow of better privateers and pirates, always trying for the big catch, the golden prize that would set him up for life and make his name revered with other legends such as Blackbeard and Kidd, Raleigh and Drake. While he caught enough Spanish merchantmen to keep his ship afloat and his crew paid, he could never catch the better prizes. His luck always seemed to fail him when it counted. (Victorious the Role Playing Game)One night he got drunk and staggered to the hut of an old Houngan, who was notorious among the pirate community for having the touch of Satan about her. First he’d paid a few shillings for a telling of his fortune, and her words only seemed to promise more mediocrity, more failures. In a drunken frenzy he demanded she get hold of “Ol’ Nick’ hisself!” and he’d sell his soul to have a Spanish treasure ship in his grasp. The old woman smiled, and said the bargain was struck. (Victorious the Role Playing Game)Within two weeks, Blackfriar’s ship entered a thick fogbank, quite unusual for the Caribbean. As he tried to regain his directions, his vessel nearly rammed a massive Spanish galleon. This ship, the yearly treasure craft bringing the gold and silver of the New World to His Spanish Majesty, had lost her escorts in the fog. She was alone, and bewildered as to her direction. Not missing a moment, Blackfriar gave a couple of broadsides into the Spanish ship before they could react. With a crash of timbers, his ship moved alongside the liner and his men charged over the gunnels to board their prey. Despite heavy fighting, it was the pirates who were victorious. At last, Captain Blackfriar had his gold, and his reputation would soar! (Victorious the Role Playing Game)So it would, but not in the way Blackfriar believed. With an unearthly chill surrounding them, the great Spanish galleon Esmerelda sank into the murky depths of the ocean, with not a single survivor found in the waters. The few on board Blackfriar’s ship Cutlass looked for any of the boarders, but eventually sailed away to spread the tale of Blackfriar’s failed grasp of fortune and fame. (Victorious the Role Playing Game)This wasn’t the last of the Blackfriar, however, Sailors started to speak in whispers of an unnatural fog bank that swept down on lone ships at night, and the bones of Captain Blackfriar and his dead crew would slash and kill, the apparition still searching for his fame and fortune aboard the seaweed-choked wreck of the Esmerelda. Is the undead captain searching for more gold? For fame? For an end to his torment? No one knows, but legend says he searches the Caribbean and the Atlantic, firing cannon broadsides into steamers and ironclad warships alike, leaving none to speak of his passing.

(Black Libram of Naratus)Whether they die of exposure or become a predator’s meal, these lost travelers usually journey in spirit form to the afterlife. Some, however, if they perish too close to a lantern goat, find their souls drawn into the fell receptacle the creature wears around its neck. The scarred and battered lantern that descends from the goat’s neck serves to channel souls into the creature itself.

(Tome of the Unclean 2019 Preorder)Fashioned from the living bones of the aghul’s victims, the knoglen blade is an 8-foot long polearm with a razor-sharp blade that bestows a +3 bonus to both attack and damage. If the attack roll results in a natural 19 or 20, flakes of the blade break off and enter the wound, causing it to fester. In the round following a successful hit the victim feels a searing pain which lasts for 4 rounds at which point the limb becomes numb and useless. If untreated, the wound turns necrotic and within 1d4 days the flesh surrounding the wound rots away. There is no saving throw for this condition. Further neglect leads to the rot continuing to spread, dealing 1d10 points of damage each day until the victim dies. Unless the dead is buried in consecrated or holy grounds, they will rise as either a zombie or skeleton within 1d8 days. (Tome of the Unclean 2019 Preorder)Treatment for the rot includes remove curse, remove disease, heal, restoration spells, a paladin’s cure disease ability, or a cleric or paladin may attempt to turn the bone flakes, which turn as a 1 HD undead.

(Castle Keeper's Guide to the Haunted Highlands)The Dread Mire is an ancient battleground that has now become a swamp. Some millennia past, a local elfin lord aligned himself a human kingdom to battle against the onslaught of the Horned One’s army. In the first clashing of arms, the human king betrayed his ally and fell upon the elfin rearguard as the armies of the Horned One weighed into the vanguard. The humans slaughtered all of the elves in a horrific battle. But Andual, a warrior priest and the last of the kindred to die, laid a curse upon these men: “May your treachery bind you to this earth! May it devour you and spit you back up as a shadow of yourself. Thirst now for a life you cannot have. I curse you and bind you here until the Damnun sakes your agony. Know no peace.” (Umbrage Saga)The knoglen blade weapon is a pole-arm fashioned from the living bones of the Aghul’s victims. Ranging about 8 feet long, it serves as a +3 weapon in both to hit and damage. The  blade(s) are razor sharp, self replicating bones. When the wielder scores a successful hit with the blade of at least 19 or 20 (without bonus), flakes of the bone break off into the wound. These flakes are living bone and begin to meld with the victim. In the round following a successful hit, the victim feels an intense pain. The pain lasts for 4 melee rounds at which point the arm becomes numb and useless. If not treated, the wound begins to rot and the surrounding flesh begins to fall off in 1d4 days. There is no saving throw. Treatment can be with cure disease, remove curse, remove disease, heal, restoration or a cleric can attempt to turn the bones. They turn as a skeleton. If untreated, the rot spreads beyond the wound and the victim begins to take 1d10 points damage each day until they die. Unless buried in holy or consecrated ground they reanimate as a zombie or skeleton in 1d8 days. (A6 Of Banishment and Blight)This chamber is home to a charnel spider.

Located at the old Crossroads (back when Galent was nothing more than the Keep), this Inn and Tavern caters to most out-of-town customers. Its owner, An Ogre Magi of indeterminate age, purchased the business from its prior owner who built the Tavern some fifty years ago on the very spot where a huge tree grew, off of which dozens of criminals and despots had been hung, either by the neck or in cages, to die. Since then, such public executions have moved south to the new crossroads, but the memory of the former still remains. (The Keepers of Lingusia)In fact, the Tavern & Inn was built around the old tree, the base of which can be seen taking of a sizeable portion of the Tavern's center. The four rooms which touch upon the tree on the second level are rarely used, except to intentionally humiliate someone unfamiliar with local tales, or by those one betting dare. This is because the tree is haunted in a most unusual way. (The Keepers of Lingusia)In Octzellan burial customs criminals are hung on specially marked trees, so that their spirits are trapped within the tree. These trees are "undead", so to speak; they have no dryad, or spirit, within them, yet they live. Instead they take the soul of those killed on or close to them, preventing the criminal from reaching the afterlife.

(Death in the Treklant)It happened one day that the staircase, weakened by a sagging foundation and misuse, collapsed upon several of the ogres, including their notorious leader, Garoonsh, killing them instantly.

Food and drink do not slack his ravenous hunger and all things living make his mouth water (further disgusting him). In some ways he is both a mortal human and an undead ghast, in others he is fully neither. (Domesday 8)Undead Treant: ?Undead Tree: In Octzellan burial customs criminals are hung on specially marked trees, so that their spirits are trapped within the tree.

Some setite and human followers of Set willingly petition the god for this infliction, to become members of his Chosen flock. (The Keepers of Lingusia)There are three known ways to become a vampire, according to those specialists who are necromantic students of the undead. First, followers of Set who betray the dictates of their accursed god can be damned with Setitic Vampirism. (The Keepers of Lingusia)Vampirism can be brought down on someone who was so evil and villainous in life that they are grabbed by Devonin and offered a second chance to walk the land of the living, as a stalker in the night. (The Keepers of Lingusia)Finally, a vampire can be created when they bite a mortal and share blood, rendering the blood of the mortal impure. This is not always effective, and the process creates a special master-servant bond between the vampires, which has such psychological ramifications that it is done rarely. (The Keepers of Lingusia)Unlike the lesser undead, these more intelligent and powerful sorts are not necessarily created by a necromancer but by their own dark will and corrupted spirit. Given that these undead had a degree of free will it could be assumed that the magic involved in their creation or revival is tainted strongly with unholy powers and/or negative energy. Even if enslaved to a necromancer, the risk of their breaking free of their bonds is high. In a way, it is as if the will of the person in question superimposed itself over reality to a limited extent by refusing to acknowledge their own mortal end. (Domesday 7)Animate Dead Master spell.

The means for such a thing to pass are several. First and foremost, the wise-woman may delve into eldritch things that are beyond her ken and thus be horribly transformed, possessed perhaps, by a demonic spirit. Similarly, she may be corrupted by Chaos through feelings of jealousy, envy, or hatred for those in her community whom she feels may take advantage of her. Too, another bhabaphir may visit the village in disguise and “convert” the local wise-woman. Finally, she may fall in secret to the service of another, more potent vampire, and also be transformed.

The screams of his pain and horror carried over the barren wastes and into the ice-bound wilds.

So Malcom of Helliwell gained immortality and became a vampire, all for the greater good. (Heart of Glass)A one time paladin of the Holy Defenders of the Flame, Malcom fell victim to Sagramore, the father of all Vampires, and the machinations of the gods during the Winter Dark Wars. (Heart of Glass)Malcom is an unusually powerful vampire. He is a Living Vampire, a Patriarch. There are few of these creatures in the world. Malcom came to be thus for as a living man he was a good man, a lordly paladin of a noble line and family who willingly submitted to the lusts of the undead Lord Sagramore. In so doing he bound his soul, his very being, to the prospect of being undead, so that his soul lingered in his body. (Heart of Glass)Sagramore, a one time wizard and tortured victim of the horned god’s came to St. Luther and offered to make Malcom a creature of the undead. “You know my tale, Lord of Dreams, and you know that I must live by the blood of living things. You know that I am a vampire. But Narrheit must be foiled, and the riddles of the Blood Runes understood and only Malcom may do this.” He promised to take the boy in his arms and give him eternal life. (Heart of Glass)“Such a thing would be damnation for him. But alas, I see no other way. If he agrees, I myself shall slay him when his destiny is fulfilled.” So they took Malcom and after much debate the knight, in great consternation, with curses for his father and St. Luther allowed for the Vampire’s embrace. So it was that the second curse came upon Malcom and he became the undead.

(Vampires of the Olden Lands)Vampire Lhamphir, Plague Bearer: The lhamphir arises on rare occasions from those who wereslain through plague; only the first slain in a settlement might arise as a lhamphir, if proper precautions are not taken. If the body is given final rites and a proper burial or cremation according to the Good or Lawful faith to which the victim belonged, then the lhamphir cannot arise. Otherwise, there is a percentage chance equal to the Charisma score plus the level of the victim that he arises as a lhamphir. If the community and his family abandoned him during his illness, this chance doubles that he arises as a lhamphir, eager to avenge himself upon those who turned on him. (Vampires of the Olden Lands)If the lhamphir slays a human, half-elven, half-ogre, half-orc, goblin-man, or gnole victim of his disease by use of his drain health ability to drain his last point of Constitution (not merely through loss of Constitution through the disease), he may, if he chooses, cause the victim to rise again the next night as a lhamphir or a ghoul.

They can also be created by lhamiras, strighoiphirs, and ekimmu. Finally, they might arise naturally, or rather, unnaturally, especially in the land of Strigoria. These methods include, among others: (Vampires of the Olden Lands) Dying without being consecrated to the God of Law; Committing suicide; Practicing sorcery, black witchcraft, or eldritch wizardry in life; Having a spell-caster’s familiar jump on your corpse before you are buried; Eating the flesh of an animal killed by a vampire; Being slain by a lycanthrope; Death by murder un-avenged; Dying while cursed by a sorcerer or witch.

Given that these undead had a degree of free will it could be assumed that the magic involved in their creation or revival is tainted strongly with unholy powers and/or negative energy. Even if enslaved to a necromancer, the risk of their breaking free of their bonds is high. In a way, it is as if the will of the person in question superimposed itself over reality to a limited extent by refusing to acknowledge their own mortal end.  (Domesday 7)If the revenants so chooses, those who are killed by strength loss can be brought back to unlife as a zombie under control of the revenants.

When his deity left the known planes many centuries ago, the souls of his followers were expelled from Meelkor’s realms. The weakest perished or found respite elsewhere in the planes, but the most powerful (such as Glorian) seethed with anger at what they felt was a grand betrayal. After years of servitude to Meelkor, they expected more than to be unceremoniously evicted from their afterlife! Of course, to Meelkor, expectations of reward were counter to his beliefs anyway, but even the most pious human cleric secretly expects compensation for his years of mortal restraint once he reaches the magnificent afterlife. The righteous anger coursing through Glorian and a few other high-level followers was so great that their souls forcibly returned to their bodies and they reanimated as undead.

(Castle Keeper's Guide to the Haunted Highlands)In the ancient history of Hyrkania, many of the old kings of the pre empire days would bury their dead in huge mounds, with rock tombs beneath. Within these catacombs would go the line of their family, and for generations the dead would be buried like so. These ancient mound lands were, alas, ripe for the time of the War of the Gods, and when the power of the Chaos Lords spread through the land, many necromancer kings who rose in the time of conflict saw to it that their tombs were guarded, often by the reanimated remains of these earlier kings.

After Pserkipis had come to be the leader of the trog tribe, he quickly abolished this ghastly practice and taught his minions to embalm their dead with the herbs from the Underground Paradise. The terrible smell disappeared, giving way to a strange side effect. Strangely enough (and maybe due to the overwhelming evil associated with The Slithering Overlord), this new burial rite caused Pserkipis’ fallen enemies to rise as particularly strong wights, utterly loyal to their killers.

If the attack roll results in a natural 19 or 20, flakes of the blade break off and enter the wound, causing it to fester.

Some millennia past, a local elfin lord aligned himself a human kingdom to battle against the onslaught of the Horned One’s army. In the first clashing of arms, the human king betrayed his ally and fell upon the elfin rearguard as the armies of the Horned One weighed into the vanguard. The humans slaughtered all of the elves in a horrific battle. But Andual, a warrior priest and the last of the kindred to die, laid a curse upon these men: “May your treachery bind you to this earth! May it devour you and spit you back up as a shadow of yourself. Thirst now for a life you cannot have. I curse you and bind you here until the Damnun sakes your agony. Know no peace.” (Umbrage Saga)The knoglen blade weapon is a pole-arm fashioned from the living bones of the Aghul’s victims. Ranging about 8 feet long, it serves as a +3 weapon in both to hit and damage. The blade(s) are razor sharp, self replicating bones. When the wielder scores a successful hit with the blade of at least 19 or 20 (without bonus), flakes of the bone break off into the wound. These flakes are living bone and begin to meld with the victim. In the round following a successful hit, the victim feels an intense pain. The pain lasts for 4 melee rounds at which point the arm becomes numb and useless. If not treated, the wound begins to rot and the surrounding flesh begins to fall off in 1d4 days. There is no saving throw. Treatment can be with cure disease, remove curse, remove disease, heal, restoration or a cleric can attempt to turn the bones. They turn as a skeleton. If untreated, the rot spreads beyond the wound and the victim begins to take 1d10 points damage each day until they die. Unless buried in holy or consecrated ground they reanimate as a zombie or skeleton in 1d8 days. (A6 Of Banishment and Blight)While Crisigrin did not like this room, he understood its importance.

His slave masters tortured them, his wizards experimented upon them and the darkness fed upon their sanity. Most victims perished in that dark pit in the bowels of Aufstrag, but a few survived and they fled the Pit when they could.Mison Men: Mison men are ancient mountain warriors who have returned to the world by the magic bound in the bones of dead dragons. Mison men rise up from the grave and equip themselves with the skin and bones of the dead dragon, appearing in the guise of men adorned in plates of dragon scale.The mison men’s origins lie in the early history of men. When men first wandered the high planes beyond the confines of the Dwarven Realms, they encountered creatures both amazing and terrifying, not least of which were the dragons. Many paid homage to these beasts and the monsters took them as servants. And though they still plundered the men of their wealth, or devoured them in flame and acid, the men paid them homage. These ancient tribes found their futures interwoven with that of the great beasts. In later days, Cults of priests learned how to stave off death using the power of the magic born in the dragons, but what they did not account for was the evil bound into the beasts, for as is known, the dragons all came from the goddess Inzae, and her disposition is a malicious one.Bound to the dragon and the mountain where the dragon dwelt, the mison men lingered in the lands between life and death, returned or otherwise.Naerlulthut: A victim killed by the naerlulth is brought back to unlife, fated to suffer everlasting torment in the ashen wake of the creature’s passing.Soul Thief, Rottenshuf: These creatures are of the order of the Val-Austlich, created in the Days before Days by Ornduhl.

The spirit burns with some malevolence that it bore in life or that was given to it by others or that it suffered in death. These are twisted spirts, born crooked and they die angry. They are forbidden to return to the earth and oblivion as is the want of all trees, so they remain in bark, bole and branches, there to poison the ground, the very air, that once gave it life.The terralip is found where any deciduous forest once grew or grows. They can be of any breed of hardwood, from the hardbarked cherry tree to the tall, thin aspen. They can exist in any climate and as high as the tree line in the mountains. They are found in swamps and deserts, towns and valleys, wherever trees grow.Trees root deep in the ground; the fingers of their age push into the soils, soft or hard. For some this is all there is and they take no heed of the fruit that is the earth, the wind and sky and cool waters. For others they are awake and take notice, for what it is worth, of the world around them and these love or hate the joy of it as is their want. Of these the terralip is born. An evil limb in life, turns worse in death. Or happenstance twists a happy spirit to a malevolent force. In either case the tree is foul in death, poisoning the earth and air, filling the soils at its feet with death, trapping the spirits of the fallen in the tangled roots of its own spite.Stronger Skeleton: At will the terralip can call forth the bodies of its victims. At any given time there are 2-16 skeletons and 2-16 zombies lying in the earth around the terralip.

In his travels, he took up with the holy paladin Saint Luther who tolerated his malfeasance for he proved useful in his struggles with the evil that had arisen in the east. But eventually, Malhavok betrayed the paladin and when Luther discovered Malhavok’s misdeed, the paladin’s knight laid hands on the rogue and slew him; they gave his body no rest, but burned it to ash. But Malhavok’s spirit proved powerful and refused to enter the Shadow Realms and fled the Gates of Tiamat.Naked, it returned to the world of the living as a houseless shadow, seeking it knew not what. At last it found a home in the very blade the rogue carried in life. This blade, born of the magic of Rhealth, one of the Og-Aust of old, consumed the fire of Malhavok so that the rogue became entwined with the blade and the blade became a cursed thing.Ghost Jackal: ?Undead: Undead are once-living creatures animated by spiritual or supernatural forces.Wight: ?Ghoul: ?Skeleton: Knoglen Blade magic item.Zombie: Knoglen Blade magic item.Banshee: The sword Noxmorus has two natural enemies, orcs, and elves. Against orcs, the wielder always gains initiative. Against elves or fey, the blade has a malevolent effect. On a roll of a natural 20, the elf or fey’s spirit is forever destroyed, thus cursing them to live out their days as shadows of their former selves, eventually becoming a banshee.Noxmorus magic itemGhost: ?KNOGLEN BLADE: Fashioned from the living bones of the aghul’s victims, the knoglen blade is an 8-foot long polearm with a +3 bonus to both attacks and damage. The blade is razor sharp, also crafted from living bone. On a result of 19 or 20 (before bonuses) flakes of the blade break off and enter the wound. Once in a wound the flakes begin to meld with the victim. In the round following a successful hit the victim feels an intense pain. The pain lasts for 4 melee rounds at which point the arm becomes numb and useless.If not treated, the wound begins to rot and the surrounding flesh begins to fall off in 1d4 days. There is no saving throw. Treatment can be with cure disease, remove curse, remove disease, heal, restoration or a cleric can attempt to turn the bone flakes, as if they were a skeleton. They turn as a skeleton. If untreated the rot spreads beyond the wound and the victim begins to take 1d10 points damage each day until they die.Unless buried in holy or consecrated ground, they reanimate as a zombie or skeleton in 1d8 days.NOXMURUS, “NIGHT OF THE DEAD”: When Unklar came to the world of Aihrde, the greater host of the elves fled the world to the hidden realm of Seven-Rivers, Shindolay. Only a few possessed so great a love for the lands of the All Father that they remained. They hated Unklar and fought him at every turn. But defeat followed defeat and their powers proved too slight in the face of the Horned God. Their losses mounted, culminating in the battles for those lands that came to bear the name The Shelves of the Mist. With frustrated rage their thoughts turned ever to their kin who had fled, in their thoughts were visions of all the gathered strength of the elven hosts and the utter defeat of Unklar. Though they did not know it, even those hosts could not have stood against the Horned God in his prime; not even were all his minions stripped of him. But their thoughts did not know reason, only defeat and in time they turned on their kin, hating them, and cursing those who fled the fate of the world.The Elf Prince Meltowg Lothian, brother to Daladon Half-Elven Lord of Darkenfold, was one of these elves. As is told in the Lay of the Lothian Princes, he forged the sword Noxmurus and bound within it the spirit of his rage and hate; this raging spirit took a name, Bodach, which in the elven tongue means “darkness.” Meltowg died in the Winter Dark Wars and his brother, Daladon Lothian, took up the blade for a space of years. Since those days Daladon has drifted from the halls of the Val-Tulmiph and the blade has been lost to history.Noxmurus is a +5 two-handed claymore, whose deep green blade is unbreakable. Its grip is of black wire wrapped tightly around an iron base, the pommel a dark green opal, and the great cross-guard is speckled black, as if colored with coal dust. It is always sharp, immune to notches and scratches. Within the blade lurks the corporal manifestation of Meltowg’s madness, Bodach the imp. This imp is possessed of all the rage of its creator and bears a deep, abiding hatred for the High Elves of Aihrde. When held by a human, or any elf other than a high elf or half-elf with high elf ancestry, the sword becomes a living thing and will talk to its “master,” trying to influence the wielder. Bodach’s goals are always twofold, to kill servants of the enemy or the High Elves. It will attempt to drive its master to war on these creatures. Noxmurus is a sentient artifact and as such can control the will of its wielder. Noxmurus has a will of 21.When unsheathed, the sword allows the wielder to move silently as a 5th level rogue, and if in a forest environment, the bearer can become invisible at will to all beings less than 15 hit dice and to all elves (as the spell invisibility). Also, elves and half-elves wielding the blade may summon and command Bodach the Imp upon command. Bodach acts as an imp familiar in all respects.The blade imparts a resistance to poison (as the dwarf) as well as darkvision up to 120 feet. It can detect magic within a 20 foot radius. When borne by any elf other than a high elf or half-elf with high elf ancestry, the sword bestows a glamour upon the wielder, allowing the wielder to make himself seem greater than he is. The glamour acts similar to the Frightful Presence of Dragons. The glamour unsettles creatures within 120 feet if they have fewer than 12 HD. A potentially affected creature that succeeds at a wisdom save (CL 20) remains immune to the Glamour for one day. On a failure, creatures with 4 or fewer HD panic for 2d4 rounds, fleeing from the wielder and those with 5-12 HD become shaken for 4d4 rounds, suffering a -2 on all to hit rolls and attribute checks. The wielder can also detect any type of scrying.The sword has two natural enemies, orcs, and elves. Against orcs, the wielder always gains initiative. Against elf or fey, the blade has a malevolent effect.

These, its children, are undead spirits whose bodies were devoured by the beast and whose souls were bound to it.Civatateo: Civatateo are noble women who have died in childbirth and now roam as undead looking to punish the living.Shadow Rat: When unusually greedy dwarves die from combat, their spirits fly back to their last homes and haunt the edges of whatever metropolis they lived in last.With every successful attack, the undead creature takes away a point of strength and then heals ten points with the power of the lost strength point.

Whether in battle, or at home, those whose bodies are not buried in hallowed ground, or at least given the blessings of the gods, are untethered and unprotected. Even if they were good in life and their souls crossed to some heaven of their belief, their bodies are not safe. These the arch devil and demons can summon to the infernal planes.But many of the undead have suffered the loss of their life in the infernal planes. Whatever reason brought them to the planes, whether of their own free will, some dark sorcery or captured by a demon they sought to control, it does not matter. They come to the infernal planes whole and living and no matter their alignment or state, if they fall, they are consigned to the plane, unable to cross over to their own heavens. These are wights, ghosts, ghasts, banshees and similar creatures.Devil Discarnate Lesser: The discarnate are lost souls, shadows of their former selves.The discarnate are the souls and spirits of those who died in Hell and were trapped there, their bodies left to rot, unburied.Those who die in Aufstrag, remain there, their souls trapped until their bodies are laid to rest in hallowed ground. These are the discarnate.Note that the discarnate are also people that have fallen in Hell and have become undead creatures.Abigor: ?Ousmane: ?Undead Crow: ?Draugr: The draugr is a type of undead so malevolent in life that its evil ways still possess it in death.Only humans can be reborn as draugr.Only corpses that have been housed in tombs or crypts can be draugr, as the creature cannot dig itself out of a grave.Ghast: If a creature dies from wounds sustained by a ghast’s claw and bite damage, and is not eaten by the foul creature, it will rise again as a ghoul or ghast in 2d4 days unless the corpse is blessed before interment. The victim will rise as a ghoul if it has less than 4 levels or hit dice, and as a ghast if it has a 4 or more levels or hit dice.But many of the undead have suffered the loss of their life in the infernal planes.

These are wights, ghosts, ghasts, banshees and similar creatures.Ghost: Ghosts are the undead spirits of evil folk. In life, these people were cruel, vindictive, and visited needless suffering upon others. At their deaths, their spirits were forced to remain bound to the physical world in perpetual torment.But many of the undead have suffered the loss of their life in the infernal planes.

These are wights, ghosts, ghasts, banshees and similar creatures.Ghoul: The vorgalos house their lairs, the country around and the land beneath them with the undead. They do this by stalking cemeteries, unhallowing a grave, and raising the dead, pulling them back from the afterlife and bringing them back to the world.If a creature dies from wounds sustained by a ghast’s claw and bite damage, and is not eaten by the foul creature, it will rise again as a ghoul or ghast in 2d4 days unless the corpse is blessed before interment. The victim will rise as a ghoul if it has less than 4 levels or hit dice, and as a ghast if it has a 4 or more levels or hit dice.Haunt: The haunt is an undead tied to the spot of its death. It appears as a ghostly image, a floating, incorporeal form that vaguely resembles its form before death, be it man, dwarf, gnome or some other humanoid. In its living form, the haunt had some mission or task that needed to be completed. So great was the compulsion to finish this deed that, even in death, its spirit seeks to fulfill its final task.A haunt can be of any alignment and its task can be anything from the mundane (“replace the stone in the wall thus covering the secret hiding place”) to the extraordinary (“travel to a distant land and deliver a message of peace”); from the safe (“to see my child who was born after I died”) to the perilous (“avenge my family by killing the ancient red dragon who murdered them all”).Lich: A lich is a powerful undead creature, born from a hideous ritual performed by a wizard that lusts for everlasting life. Becoming a lich is an option for only the most powerful and reckless of magi, as it involves separating the spirit from the body and binding it in a specially prepared phylactery. This very powerful enchanted item can take any form, but it is usually an amulet of the finest quality. After the ritual is complete, the wizard assumes its undead form, and the phylactery thereafter houses the lich’s soul. Few know these arcane rituals, and of those few, even fewer dare test the sorcery. If it fails, the wizard’s soul is lost and forever irretrievable.Mummy: There are those who are brought to the planes, or captured there, and buried alive. Their living bodies are wrapped in coils of madness and imprisoned in tombs of stone. These mummies are every bit as dangerous in hell as they are in the material world. The torments of their binding and the nature of their burial drive them mad, with a need bent on destruction.A mummy is an undead creature wrapped in divine bandages and urged to existence through prayer and ceremony. Mummies are bound to their tombs and are encountered in their vicinity. Any creature that defiles or loots the tomb of a mummy is doomed to face the mummy’s wrath. Their connection with the artifacts of life and the resting places of the dead are tremendous, and they punish grave looters with unmediated violence.The process required to create a mummy gives the creature powerful protections against physical damage.Nekun: Nekun are the skeleton-like anonymous dead of those who have passed into Hades, Tartarus and other regions below the earth.Revenant: Any humans (and only humans) that have died an extremely ghastly death can arise as a revenant to exact revenge on its killer. The revenant, in life, must have had a minimum of 15 constitution, intelligence and wisdom to become a revenant. Even at that, the chances are very slim.Shadow: They are either doomed souls who, in life perpetrated great evil against innocents, or they are thralls, created and bound to darkness by another shadow.A creature reduced to 0 strength by a shadow’s strength drain attack is slain. The deceased will rise again as a shadow within 1d4 rounds, losing all class abilities, and forever functioning as an ordinary shadow.Upon a successful bite the caraton drains the victim of one level, which in turn heals the caraton for 1d8 hit points. The victim is allowed a constitution save, which, if successful, negates the energy drain. If a victim falls to a caraton, either by loss of hit points or loss of levels, they cannot be resurrected or raised by normal methods. Short of a wish spell, they are irrevocably dead. The victim’s soul will be whisked away to the Abyss while their body will be animated as an undead using the chart below:D20 MONSTER1–10 Zombie11–15 Shadow16–19 Wight20 WraithSkeletal Warrior: The skeletal warrior is an undead, created by high level, evil clerics as protection and guards. All were powerful fighters in life, some being enemies of the cleric that created them. Their life essence still exists, and if they were ever to claim it, they would die, and their spirit will pass into the afterlife, tormented no more.The essence is usually kept in a gem of some worth, usually in excess of 10,000gp. This gem may be set in a crown, circlet, necklace or various other types of jewelry, or can be loose.Skeleton: Humanoid skeletons are the animated remains of humanoid creatures. Their bodies are little more than bone and sinew held together by vile sorcery.The vorgalos house their lairs, the country around and the land beneath them with the undead. They do this by stalking cemeteries, unhallowing a grave, and raising the dead, pulling them back from the afterlife and bringing them back to the world.Spectre: Spectres are spiritual echoes; fragments of a learned person that died in the pursuit of knowledge.Any creature slain by a spectre will become a spectre in 1d4 rounds.Sons of Rhealth: The Sons of Rhealth were created ages ago, by worshipers of the foul Lord of the Undead.Those victims that have had a worm from a Son of Rhealth land on them may cease any other action to remove the worm from their body. If they do, they will automatically be successful. Starting with round two, the creature will begin to crawl towards the head. It will arrive in 1d3 rounds. Once there, it will begin boring into the ears, or crawling through the nose if the ear is covered. When this occurs, the victim may make a dexterity check (CL 3) to dislodge the worm. Failure means it has successfully entered the head of its victim. Once there, it will burst, scattering a foul, green ichor that will leak from the ear (or nose). The victim must make a constitution check (CL 5) or be stricken with a wasting disease.This disease manifests within 2d12 hours. At first, the victim becomes nauseated, vomiting and unable to eat. After another 1d6 hours, he will begin to lose 1d4 hit points per round, growing weaker and weaker (- number of hours infected on all dice rolls). Once dead, the creature will rise as a Son of Rhealth in one day. Only a remove disease spell will negate this horrific disease.Wight: They were once human, but are now cursed to haunt the world, living in seclusion, for some foul act of greed.Upon a successful bite the caraton drains the victim of one level, which in turn heals the caraton for 1d8 hit points. The victim is allowed a constitution save, which, if successful, negates the energy drain. If a victim falls to a caraton, either by loss of hit points or loss of levels, they cannot be resurrected or raised by normal methods. Short of a wish spell, they are irrevocably dead. The victim’s soul will be whisked away to the Abyss while their body will be animated as an undead using the chart below:D20 MONSTER1–10 Zombie11–15 Shadow16–19 Wight20 WraithThe vorgalos house their lairs, the country around and the land beneath them with the undead.

Appearing much like their undead cousins, a monster zombie is a decayed living corpse of its former self. Any creature from a goblin to a giant can be transformed into a zombie.Ogre Zombie: ?Denizen Genitch Beetle: They spawn on the corpse of very evil creatures, living embodiments of the lingering evil of the creature itself.

They do this by stalking cemeteries, unhallowing a grave, and raising the dead, pulling them back from the afterlife and bringing them back to the world.In the material planes the undead are creatures who have been trapped in their dead bodies through some device or the other.It is not so simple in the infernal planes for here there are few living creatures that possess restless spirits.Many fall in life and are never laid to rest. Whether in battle, or at home, those whose bodies are not buried in hallowed ground, or at least given the blessings of the gods, are untethered and unprotected. Even if were good in life and their souls crossed to some heaven of their belief, their bodies are not safe. These the arch devil and demons can summon to the infernal planes. When Orcus calls his armies to him, hosts of them rise from the earth around him, these are the untethered undead and they serve him for they know no other way.But many of the undead have suffered the loss of their life in the infernal planes. Whatever reason brought them to the planes, whether of their own free will, some dark sorcery or captured by a demon they sought to control, it does not matter. They come to the infernal planes whole and living and no matter their alignment or state, if they fall, they are consigned to the plane, unable to cross over to their own heavens. These are wights, ghosts, ghasts, banshees and similar creatures.Devil Discarnate: The discarnate are lost souls, shadows of their former selves.The discarnate are the souls and spirits of those who died in Hell and were trapped there, their bodies left to rot, unburied.Those who die in Aufstrag, remain there, their souls trapped until their bodies are laid to rest in hallowed ground. These are the discarnate.Note that the discarnate are also people that have fallen in Hell and have become undead creatures.Abigor: ?Ousmane: ?Undead Crow: ?Draugr: The draugr is a type of undead so malevolent in life that its evil ways still possess it in death.Only corpses that have been housed in tombs or crypts can be draugr, as the creature cannot dig itself out of a grave.Ghast: If a creature dies from wounds sustained by a ghast’s claw and bite damage, and is not eaten by the foul creature, it will rise again as a ghoul or ghast in 2d4 days unless the corpse is blessed before interment. The victim will rise as a ghoul if it has less than 4 levels or hit dice, and as a ghast if it has a 4 or more levels or hit dice.But many of the undead have suffered the loss of their life in the infernal planes.

These are wights, ghosts, ghasts, banshees and similar creatures.Ghost: Ghosts are the undead spirits of evil folk. In life, these people were cruel, vindictive, and visited needless suffering upon others. At their deaths, their spirits were forced to remain bound to the physical world in perpetual torment.Once set loose in Hell, a soul is difficult to find and if not devoured will appear as a ghost somewhere.But many of the undead have suffered the loss of their life in the infernal planes.

The victim will rise as a ghoul if it has less than 4 levels or hit dice, and as a ghast if it has a 4 or more levels or hit dice.Haunt: In its living form, the haunt had some mission or task that needed to be completed. So great was the compulsion to finish this deed that, even in death, its spirit seeks to fulfill its final task.Lich: A lich is a powerful undead creature, born from a hideous ritual performed by a wizard that lusts for everlasting life. Becoming a lich is an option for only the most powerful and reckless of magi, as it involves separating the spirit from the body and binding it in a specially prepared phylactery. This very powerful enchanted item can take any form, but it is usually an amulet of the finest quality. After the ritual is complete, the wizard assumes its undead form, and the phylactery thereafter houses the lich’s soul. Few know these arcane rituals, and of those few, even fewer dare test the sorcery. If it fails, the wizard’s soul is lost and forever irretrievable.Mummy: A mummy is an undead creature wrapped in divine bandages and urged to existence through prayer and ceremony.The process required to create a mummy gives the creature powerful protections against physical damage.There are those who are brought to the planes, or captured there, and buried alive. Their living bodies are wrapped in coils of madness and imprisoned in tombs of stone. These mummies are every bit as dangerous in hell as they are in the material world. The torments of their binding and the nature of their burial drive them mad, with a need bent on destruction.Nekun: Nekun are the skeleton-like anonymous dead of those who have passed into Hades, Tartarus and other regions below the earth.Revenant: Any humans (and only humans) that have died an extremely ghastly death can arise as a revenant to exact revenge on its killer. The revenant, in life, must have had a minimum of 15 constitution, intelligence and wisdom to become a revenant. Even at that, the chances are very slim.Shadow: They are either doomed souls who, in life perpetrated great evil against innocents, or they are thralls, created and bound to darkness by another shadow.A creature reduced to 0 strength by a shadow’s strength drain attack is slain. The deceased will rise again as a shadow within 1d4 rounds, losing all class abilities, and forever functioning as an ordinary shadow. A victim rising as a shadow is forever dead, and cannot be restored to life by any means short of a wish.Skeletal Warrior: The skeletal warrior is an undead, created by high level, evil clerics as protection and guards. All were powerful fighters in life, some being enemies of the cleric that created them. Their life essence still exists, and if they were ever to claim it, they would die, and their spirit will pass into the afterlife, tormented no more.The essence is usually kept in a gem of some worth, usually in excess of 10,000gp. This gem may be set in a crown, circlet, necklace or various other types of jewelry, or can be loose.Skeleton: Humanoid skeletons are the animated remains of humanoid creatures. Their bodies are little more than bone and sinew held together by vile sorcery.Fashioned from the living bones of the aghul’s victims, the knoglen blade is an 8-foot long polearm with a razor-sharp blade that bestows a +3 bonus to both attack and damage. If the attack roll results in a natural 19 or 20, flakes of the blade break off and enter the wound, causing it to fester. In the round following a successful hit the victim feels a searing pain which lasts for 4 rounds at which point the limb becomes numb and useless. If untreated, the wound turns necrotic and within 1d4 days the flesh surrounding the wound rots away. There is no saving throw for this condition. Further neglect leads to the rot continuing to spread, dealing 1d10 points of damage each day until the victim dies. Unless the dead is buried in consecrated or holy grounds, they will rise as either a zombie or skeleton within 1d8 days.Treatment for the rot includes remove curse, remove disease, heal, restoration spells, a paladin’s cure disease ability, or a cleric or paladin may attempt to turn the bone flakes, which turn as a 1 HD undead.Spectre: Spectres are spiritual echoes; fragments of a learned person that died in the pursuit of knowledge.Any creature slain by a spectre will become a spectre in 1d4 rounds.Sons of Rhealth: The Sons of Rhealth were created ages ago, by worshipers of the foul Lord of the Undead.The disease from a son of Rhealth worm bursting inside a victim manifests within 2d12 hours.

This spirit possesses its original body and seeks out those responsible for its murder.Bogeyman: Bogeymen are the stuff of legends: creatures created in the minds of parents who relayed stories about incorporeal ghosts coming to carry their children off if they didn’t go to bed when they were supposed to, didn’t do their chores when asked, and so on. The spectral bogeyman’s ties to the land of the living are a result of these stories. Often, these stories are based on the exploits of criminals, murderers, and madmen that live or have lived in the local area. By the very nature of their creation, bogeymen are evil. They are creatures born of fear and lies, delighting in the torment their fear harbors.Brine Zombie: Brine zombies are the remnants of a ship’s crew that has perished at sea.The spark of evil that brought them back from the ocean depths drives them to seek the living so they may join them in their watery graves.If an entire ship sinks at sea with the loss of all hands, the ship itself and its entire crew may return as ghostly wanderers. The captain usually rises as a draug and his crew rises as brine zombies.When a ship sinks beneath the waves, it and its entire crew may return as ghostly wanderers, especially if the captain and crew had a less than scrupulous profession (as pirates, for example). A sunken ship of this nature may undergo a transformation from the negative energy and evil surrounding it. When this happens, the ship rises from the deep, piloted by a draug and manned by skeletons, brine zombies, zombies, and lacedons.Brykolakas: Their true origin is unknown, although it is thought a recipe in the Black Libram of Nartarus and the bodies of aquatic ghouls are involved.Cinder Ghoul: A creature that is burned to death by magical fire may rise again as a fiery undead being called a cinder ghoul.Crypt Thing: Crypt things are undead creatures found guarding tombs, graves, crypts, and other such structures. They are created by spellcasters to guard such areas and they never leave their assigned area.Crypt Guardian: ?Demilich: A demilich is an advanced lich of great power. When the animating force of a lich ceases to exist and the material body finally decays (often after centuries of undeath), the soul lingers in the area and slowly over time possesses all that remains of the lich—its skull.Draug: The draug is the vengeful spirit of a ship’s captain who died at sea, thus being denied a proper burial. If an entire ship sinks at sea with the loss of all hands, the ship itself and its entire crew may return as ghostly wanderers. The captain usually rises as a draug and his crew rises as brine zombies.When a ship sinks beneath the waves, it and its entire crew may return as ghostly wanderers, especially if the captain and crew had a less than scrupulous profession (as pirates, for example).

If a bless spell is cast on the corpse before this time, it prevents the transformation.Fire Phantom: When a humanoid creature dies on the Elemental Plane of Fire, its soul often melds with part of the fiery plane and reforms as a fire phantom; a humanoid creature composed of rotted and burnt flesh swathed in elemental fire.Hoarfrost Maiden: Believed to be the spirits of humanoid warrior-women that freeze to death either because of their own mistakes or because of some ritualistic exile into the icy wastes by their culture, hoarfrost maidens haunt the icy wastelands of the world seeking warm–blooded living creatures in which to share their icy hell.Lantern Goat: Lantern goats are undead wanderers thought to be the coalescence of souls of people who died while lost in the wilderness. Just as normal goats sometimes drift from the shepherd’s care and fall prey to the dangers of the wild, so too do humans and demihumans often meet with a dire end while trekking alone in the hills.Whether they die of exposure or become a predator’s meal, these lost travelers usually journey in spirit form to the afterlife. Some, however, if they perish too close to a lantern goat, find their souls drawn into the fell receptacle the creature wears around its neck. The scarred and battered lantern that descends from the goat’s neck serves to channel souls into the creature itself. As the goat moves through the hills, its lantern casts a sickening yellow glow that attracts the souls of the recently deceased.Mortuary Cyclone: A mortuary cyclone is an undead creature born when living creatures tamper with or desecrate a mass grave (either magically or naturally).Spectre: Any living creature slain by a mortuary cyclone’s necrocone attack (see below) or energy drain attack becomes a spectre in 1d4 rounds.Slain creatures are deposited on the ground where they rise as undead “slaves” in command of the mortuary cyclone.Mummy of the Deep: It is the result of an evil creature that was buried at sea for its sins in life. The wickedness permeating the former life has managed to cling even into unlife and revive the soul as a mummy of the deep.Red Jester: Red jesters are thought to be the remains of court jesters put to death for telling bad puns, making fun of the local ruler, or dying in an untimely manner (which could be attributed to one or both of the first two). Another tale speaks of the red jesters as being the court jesters of the Demon Prince of Whimsy and Madness, sent to the Material Plane to “entertain” those whom the prince has taken a special interest in. The actual truth to their origin remains a mystery.Shadow Lesser: According to ancient texts, masters of the arcane arts created beings of living darkness to aid and protect them. These beings, known now as shadows, were formed through a combination of darkness and evil. Other beings of darkness, lesser beings not quite as powerful as the originals were also created. These creatures became known as lesser shadows.Shadow Rat: ?Shadow Rat Swarm: ?Wolf Ghoul: ?Wolf Shadow: ?Wolf Vampiric: ?Skeleton: When a ship sinks beneath the waves, it and its entire crew may return as ghostly wanderers, especially if the captain and crew had a less than scrupulous profession (as pirates, for example). A sunken ship of this nature may undergo a transformation from the negative energy and evil surrounding it. When this happens, the ship rises from the deep, piloted by a draug and manned by skeletons, brine zombies, zombies, and lacedons.Skeleton Pull spell.Vampire: Typically they began their career as thrall or spawn to another vampire of greater power who was somehow destroyed or through great loneliness chose to destroy itself. The spawn of these beings typically turn upon one another like so many rats. The survivor becomes a vampire.Lacedon: A humanoid or monstrous humanoid killed by a brykolakas rises as an aquatic ghoul in 1d4 days under the control of the brykolakas that created it.When a ship sinks beneath the waves, it and its entire crew may return as ghostly wanderers, especially if the captain and crew had a less than scrupulous profession (as pirates, for example).

These beings, known now as shadows, were formed through a combination of darkness and evil. A creature reduced to 0 Strength by a shadow wolf’s Drain attack is slain. The deceased rises again as a normal shadow within 1d4 rounds, losing all class abilities, and forever functioning as an ordinary shadow.Vampire Spawn: If a vampire wolf chooses, it can drain the blood or energy of a human victim in such a way as to bring the deceased into unlife as a vampire spawn. This spawn is under the control of the slaying wolf. This ability is not automatic, but must be consciously used.SKELETON PULL, Level 6 NecromancerCT, 1 action R, 30 ft. D, instantaneousSV, wisdom negates SR, Yes Comp (V, S, M)A necromancer’s connection to the dark powers of the abyss allows them to simply rip the skeleton from a humanoid body killing them instantly and creating an undead servant. Any humanoid creature within 30 ft. of the caster, and visible, can be affected by this spell. The victim’s allies nearby bear witness to the necromancer’s dark power as the skeleton tears free of its flesh in a cloud of blood and gore. This awe-inspiring power, and the gory scene it creates forces a wisdom save against fear for all enemies that witness it. Those that fail flee for 5 minutes. The skeleton created is a normal 1 HD skeleton under control of the necromancer. The prudent caster uses this spell but once per day for each additional use per day stands a 10% chance (cumulative) of sending the caster’s soul straight to the abyss. A successful wisdom save resists these dark forces. The saving throw receives a bonus for each HD or level above 4. Anyone slain by this spell can only be brought back to life by a true resurrection, or a wish.The material component of this spell is the powdered bone of a skeleton that is thrown in the direction of the victim.[/spoiler]Player's Handbook 3rd Printing[spoiler]Skeleton: Animate Dead spell.Zombie: Animate Dead spell.Ghoul: Create Undead spell caster level 11.Shadow: Create Undead spell caster level 12.Ghast: Create Undead spell caster level 13.Wight: Create Undead spell caster level 14.Wraith: Create Undead spell caster level 18.Mummy: Create Greater Undead spell caster level 13.Spectre: Create Greater Undead spell caster level 15.Vampire: Create Greater Undead spell caster level 17.Ghost: Create Greater Undead spell caster level 19.ANIMATE DEAD*, Level 3 cleric, 5 wizardCT 1 R 50 ft.

This spirit possesses its original body and seeks out those responsible for its murder.Blood Wight: Blood wights are the bloated, risen corpses of those tortured souls who have bled to death on unholy ground.Bogeyman: Bogeymen are the stuff of legends: creatures created in the minds of parents who relayed stories about incorporeal ghosts coming to carry their children off if they didn’t go to bed when they were supposed to, didn’t do their chores when asked, and so on. The spectral bogeyman’s ties to the land of the living are a result of these stories. Often, these stories are based on the exploits of criminals, murderers, and madmen that live or have lived in the local area. By the very nature of their creation, bogeymen are evil. They are creatures born of fear and lies, delighting in the torment their fear harbors.Brine Zombie: Brine zombies are the remnants of a ship’s crew that has perished at sea.The spark of evil that brought them back from the ocean depths drives them to seek the living so they may join them in their watery graves.If an entire ship sinks at sea with the loss of all hands, the ship itself and its entire crew may return as ghostly wanderers. The captain usually rises as a draug and his crew rises as brine zombies.When a ship sinks beneath the waves, it and its entire crew may return as ghostly wanderers, especially if the captain and crew had a less than scrupulous profession (as pirates, for example). A sunken ship of this nature may undergo a transformation from the negative energy and evil surrounding it. When this happens, the ship rises from the deep, piloted by a draug and manned by skeletons, brine zombies, zombies, and lacedons.Brykolakas: Their true origin is unknown, although it is thought a recipe in the Black Libram of Nartarus and the bodies of aquatic ghouls are involved.Coffer Corpse: A coffer corpse is formed when a recently deceased humanoid is the victim of an incomplete death ritual.Cinder Ghoul: A creature that is burned to death by magical fire may rise again as a fiery undead being called a cinder ghoul. The lairs of old red dragons may be haunted by many of these pathetic, angry spirits, and many a wizard that has dispatched a foe with a well-placed fireball has been found mysteriously charred to death many months after they died.Crypt Thing: Crypt things are undead creatures found guarding tombs, graves, crypts, and other such structures. They are created by spellcasters to guard such areas and they never leave their assigned area.Crypt Guardian: ?Eldritch Head: These disembodied heads are the craftsmanship of fell necromancers.Eldritch Heads have been infused with a portion of the necromancer’s arcane energies, and as such assault those who would interfere with their master’s property with magical assaults.Demilich: A demilich is an advanced lich of great power. When the animating force of a lich ceases to exist and the material body finally decays (often after centuries of un-death) the soul lingers in the area and slowly over time possesses all that remains of the lich—its skull.Draug: The draug is the vengeful spirit of a ship’s captain who died at sea, thus being denied a proper burial. If an entire ship sinks at sea with the loss of all hands, the ship itself and its entire crew may return as ghostly wanderers. The captain usually rises as a draug and his crew rises as brine zombies.When a ship sinks beneath the waves, it and its entire crew may return as ghostly wanderers, especially if the captain and crew had a less than scrupulous profession (as pirates, for example). A sunken ship of this nature may undergo a transformation from the negative energy and evil surrounding it. When this happens, the ship rises from the deep, piloted by a draug and manned by skeletons, brine zombies, zombies, and lacedons.Dust Ghoul: When a humanoid creature dies on the Parched Expanse on the Plane of Molten Skies, there is a good chance it returns from the afterlife as a dust ghoul—an undead, flesh-eating creature composed of dust and earth.Fear Guard: Any living creature reduced to wisdom of 0 by a fear guard becomes a fear guard under the control of its killer within 2d6 hours. If a bless spell is cast on the corpse before this time, it prevents the transformation.Fire Phantom: When a humanoid creature dies on the Elemental Plane of Fire, its soul often melds with part of the fiery plane and reforms as a fire phantom: A humanoid creature composed of rotted and burnt flesh swathed in elemental fire.Fye: Fye are cursed, solitary, incorporeal spirits whose death took place in the vicinity of a temple of evil, or other such desecrated place.Hoarfrost Maiden: Believed to be the spirits of humanoid warrior-women that froze to death either because of their own mistakes or because of some ritualistic exile into the icy wastes by their culture, hoarfrost maidens haunt the icy wastelands of the world seeking warm–blooded living creatures in which to share their icy hell.Lantern Goat: Lantern goats are undead wanderers thought to be the coalescence of souls of people who died while lost in the wilderness. Just as normal goats sometimes drift from the shepherd’s care and fall prey to the dangers of the wild, so too do humans and demi-humans often meet with a dire end while trekking alone in the hills.Whether they die of exposure or become a predator’s meal, these lost travelers usually journey in spirit form to the afterlife. Some, however, if they perish too close to a lantern goat, find their souls drawn into the fell receptacle the creature wears around its neck. The scarred and battered lantern that descends from the goat’s neck serves to channel souls into the creature itself. As the goat moves through the hills, its lantern casts a sickening yellow glow that attracts the souls of the recently deceased.Grave Risen: Any creature hit by a claw attack from a grave risen must make a constitution save (Challenge Level 5) or contract a deviant form of blood poisoning. Those who fail, suffer 1 point of constitution damage per minute until they are cured with a neutralize poison spell or ranger special ability. Humanoids who die from this malady rise in 1d4 days as a grave risen.These undead creatures are the cursed remainder of dwarves who were buried alive after the quake.Mortuary Cyclone: A mortuary cyclone is an undead creature born when living creatures tamper with or desecrate a mass grave (either magically or naturally).Mummy of the Deep: It is the result of an evil creature that was buried at sea for its sins in life. The wickedness permeating the former life has managed to cling even into un-life and revive the soul as a mummy of the deep.Red Jester: Red jesters are thought to be the remains of court jesters put to death for telling bad puns, making fun of the local ruler, or dying in an untimely manner (which could be attributed to one or both of the first two). Another tale speaks of the red jesters as being the court jesters of the Demon Prince of Whimsy and Madness, sent to the Material Plane to “entertain” those whom the prince has taken a special interest in. The actual truth to their origin remains a mystery.Shadow Lesser: According to ancient texts, masters of the arcane arts created beings of living darkness to aid and protect them. These beings, known now as shadows, were formed through a combination of darkness and evil. Other beings of darkness, lesser beings not quite as powerful as the originals were also created. These creatures became known as lesser shadows.Shadow Rat: ?Shadow Rat Swarm: ?Skeleton Small Beast: These small skeletal creatures are typically raised from the skeletal remains of dogs, cats, wolves, coyotes and the like. Some necromancers prefer raising them up as they can get twice as many smaller minions from a single casting of Animate Dead as they would the larger humanoid skeleton stock.Soul Reaper: ?Spectral Hero: Spectral Heroes are the undead spirits of heroes who served well their deity in life.Wolf Ghoul: ?Wolf Shadow: ?Wolf Vampiric: ?Zombie Hulk: Zombie hulks are zombies raised from the fresh corpses of large beasts such as ogres, bugbears, trolls, and minotaur.Zombie Plague: Beings bit by plague zombies must make a successful save vs. disease (Challenge Level 2) or lose 1d4 points of Constitution. Each hour thereafter the victim must make an additional save vs. plague or again lose 1d4 Constitution. This continues until the victim is dead.1d10 rounds after a victim succumbs to the zombie infection, they rise as a plague zombie, intent on attacking any living creature it comes across.Urthrasta The Greater Mummy: ?Skeletal Cat: ?Zombie Bat: ?Orc Zombie: Skalnoc orders the bodies of any and all fallen orcs taken to this sector for “burial” and using the power of the Demon Eye to animate dead.Lluvandro the Black, Lich: ?Y'Bras the Drinker, Grave Knight Vampire: ?Lucarne the Wight Knight, Wight Knight 8: ?Jelaquin, Spectre: ?Nulsrad the Mummy: Nulsrad was once a high priest of Soagoth, and servant of the Beast of Yug. Nulsrad was a mummy priest who has been imprisoned, slumbering in his tomb since the sealing of the shrine. At the time of the sealing, Nulsrad was thought destroyed and bricked up in his chamber. In essence this was true, however Nulsrad’s evil and the power of the Beast of Yug were simply too great to completely extinguish by the heroes of Olde Adrik.Grave Lords Vampire: ?Grave Lords Pleasure Slave, Vampire: ?Ron Riccio Human Vampire Fighter 10: ?Miss Charity, Lady of Thirst, Vampire Ancient Thirst Lord: ?Don Martimho, Zombie: Currently the necromancer Damadal keeps the Champaign room as his land-side quarters. Damadal is a messenger for the Grave Lords, and captain of the Nightingale. As a special favor to Charity, he turned Don Martimho into a zombie which she keeps around to remind the Mantua Nostra who the real boss is.Lacedon: A humanoid or monstrous humanoid killed by a brykolakas rises as an aquatic ghoul in 1d4 days under the control of the brykolakas that created it.When a ship sinks beneath the waves, it and its entire crew may return as ghostly wanderers, especially if the captain and crew had a less than scrupulous profession (as pirates, for example).

The deceased rises again as a normal shadow within 1d4 rounds, losing all class abilities, and forever functioning as an ordinary shadow.Rune of Undeath victim with less than 5 HD.Vampire Spawn: If a vampire wolf chooses, it can drain the blood or energy of a human victim in such a way as to bring the deceased into un-life as a vampire spawn. This spawn is under the control of the slaying wolf. This ability is not automatic, but must be consciously used. An affected humanoid loses all abilities, and gains the statistics of a vampire spawn.Vampire: Typically, they began their career as thrall or spawn to another vampire of greater power, who was somehow destroyed or through great loneliness chose to destroy itself. The spawn of these beings typically turn upon one another like so many rats. The survivor becomes a vampire as described in Monsters & Treasure.Any being struck with the Scepter of Death rises in the following round as a vampire, ghost, or in the case of spell casters of sufficient power … a lich cursed to do the bidding of their cruel slayer.Vampire Ancient: Although they can no longer gain additional class levels in their former life’s profession, such vampires grow stronger as they age, becoming deadlier as their flesh hardens to damage and their hit dice grow with their insatiable blood lust.Vampire Ancient Grave Knight: 200-400 years.Vampire Ancient Thirst Lord: 401-600 years.Vampire Ancient Crimson Baron: 601-800 years.Vampire Ancient Sanguine Prince: 801-1,00 years.Vampire Ancient Lord Blood King: 1,001+ years.Ghoul: This encounter is with dead huntsmen, adventurers and humanoid monsters who have run afoul of the ghoul bands which hunt the wood and have themselves been turned.As with wights, the touch of Nartarus is ever reaching. Some of those who were buried alive crossed beyond death and became ghouls.Ghast: ?Wight: This burial chamber once housed the remains of four warlords of a dead line of Ugashtan clansmen. The rousing of Urthrasta and the pillaging of their tomb has returned the corpses of the dead lords as wights.The evil of Nartarus crawls even into the strongest hearts. The gnarled reach of the unholy one’s claw is long and some who died during the quake were transformed by the will of the god of death.Wraith: Wraiths are the angry spritits of explorers and villains who have died a horrible death within the cursed wood.Rune of Undeath victim with more than 5 HD.The wraiths were dwarves killed in the great quake.Ghost: While the scorched walls of the tavern still teeter, the roof has burned away to collapse on the interior, crushing and burning the inside of the building. Hunter’s Moon was the last hiding place of a few straggling refugees and the elderly bard trying to lead them to safety. The bard’s rage lives on in the form of a ghost whose unearthly howling haunts the decrepit ruin.Any being struck with the Scepter of Death rises in the following round as a vampire, ghost, or in the case of spell casters of sufficient power … a lich cursed to do the bidding of their cruel slayer.Lich: Any being struck with the Scepter of Death rises in the following round as a vampire, ghost, or in the case of spell casters of sufficient power … a lich cursed to do the bidding of their cruel slayer.Lich Ancient: Liches no longer gain levels as they once did in life.

The abilities are limited as well: Blood Drain, Energy Drain, Regeneration 1, Electrical Resistance (half). If the creating Empusa is slain, so are the spawn.Mormolyceion: There is nothing good about the Mormo, or could ever be, and many who go to Hades that have led a terrible life towards children are condemned to be one.The accursed by Hecate are also made to become a Mormo as well, or worse, watch their children fall victim to one.Lamia: These evil and accursed vampiric women, spawned from the original blood of Lamia herself.Nekun: The skeleton-like anonymous Dead of those who have passed into Hades, Tartarus and other regions below the Earth.Taraxippus: This ghost or ghosts are said to haunt the horse tracks of Olympias and make the horse races occasionally difficult to impossible for participants. Many Classical sources say the Taraxippus is but the ghost of heroes past now returned to haunt the Olympic Games for various reasons, while others say differently. Another story says that the strange event is due to a brave individual named Ischenos who sacrificed himself for the better of all in his community during a plague, and his grave is located at Olympia where the games are held.[/spoiler]<a href="http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/170740/Castles--Crusades-Codex-Germania?affiliate_id=17596" target="_blank">Codex Germania</a>[spoiler]Undead: Untotenmeister Dragon Power.Becolaep: A becolaep is a spectral witch that has died or was slain and passed on into the form of a wrath but refuses travel on to Helle or anywhere else in the Seven Worlds. Once a halirūna or wælcyrig, the becolaep is now a vengeful spirit, haunting desolate places (preferably near graves or tombs, or fresh battle-fields).Dryhtne: The dryhtné are slain warriors who have not passed on to the next world after death for various reasons and now haunt regions where they previously roamed, either on land or sea.Often, the curse of a wælcyrig could bring these dead warriors up from the earth to haunt or plague an enemy.Mistflarden: Mistflarden are ‘ghost witches’ that flit about the shadows to cause others spiritual and bodily harm. They are said by many to be evil elves that have rejected the glowing holy light of Ælfhám, while others believe they are the wrathful spirits of drude and halirúna, or even the exiled spirits of the witches of Frau Hölle.Nachzehrer: Nachzehrer are recently dead, usually fresh from a large sickness related event and usually become one in 1d4 nights after burial. There is no explanation for how a dead person transforms into a nachzehrer, but many think it is the insidious influence of hulda or curses of the halirúna.UNTOTENMEISTER: The cursed spirit of the dragon can summon from graves up to 2d20 Undead to aid it at any time. The nature of these Undead depends on the Castle Keeper and the scope of the campaign and its experience level. These Untoten serve its needs and move amid the Living to do whatever its tasks might be however mundane or insidious. They also may simply be there for support in times of battle and nothing more and come from the barrows where the dragon now inhabits.As with many societies, the poor and common classes were placed in shallow graves with limited goods interred. The rich and powerful would construct fairly elaborate barrow mounds. The most extreme burials contained entire ships (goods, captain/king, slaves, etc). These ceremonies are the same as those performed for cremations.

The Goði and wizards would bind their spirit to the stone to bless and protect the tribe in that direction (east, west, north, south) and react if the marker stone was moved or broken.Vaettir: ?Angrboda: Worse, though, is Angrboða’s undead state. She was slain in earlier times and is said by many to haunt the woods and swamps as a spectre.Undead: As with many societies, the poor and common classes are placed in shallow graves with limited ceremonies and goods interred. The rich and powerful will construct barrow mounds, fairly elaborate, at the minimum but, at the most extreme, entire ships (goods, captain/king, slaves, etc.) will be placed into the ground.

The victim’s allies nearby bear witness to the necromancer’s dark power as the skeleton tears free of its flesh in a cloud of blood and gore, unless a successful strengthsave is made to avoid its unholy pull. This awe-inspiring power, and the gory scene it creates, forces a wisdom save against fear for all enemies that witness it. Those that fail are terrified and flee as quickly as possible for five minutes. The animated skeleton created is a normal 1 HD skeleton under control of the necromancer.The prudent caster uses this spell but once per day, for each additional use per day stands a 10% chance (cumulative) of sending the caster’s soul straight to the Rings of Hell. A successful charisma save on behalf of the caster resists these dark forces. The saving throw receives a bonus for each HD or level above 4.

But alas, I see no other way. If he agrees, I myself shall slay him when his destiny is fulfilled.” So they took Malcom and after much debate the knight, in great consternation, with curses for his father and St. Luther allowed for the Vampire’s embrace. So it was that the second curse came upon Malcom and he became the undead.Vampire: But the worst of his powers came when Naarheit, god of Chaos, revealed to Sagramore that he could alleviate his loneliness by spreading his disease to others.At first he did so reluctantly, for he was ever a good man, and knew in his heart that what he did was an abomination. He felt also that he owed Jaren a debt. But his loneliness overcame his reluctance, and he eventually made others like himself.Sagramore: Unklar then cursed him, “Ever shall you thirst for the power you cannot have! Ever shall you gain that which you do not seek!” And he marked him with the gift of immortality, bound to a chain in a cave under a mountain in the frozen north.[/spoiler]<a href="http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/50739/Castles--Crusades-I2-Under-Dark--Mistry-Ground-Dzeebagd?affiliate_id=17596" target="_blank">I2 Under Dark & Misty Ground Dzeebagd</a>[spoiler]Huge Skeleton: This is the skeleton of an ogre child who starved to death after his parents died.

Left to die in the deep cold pits, unburied and forgotten, the souls of the men hovered in a purgatory between life and death. The spells of the clergy laying their own to rest wrenched the souls back to the world of the living.These souls, usually spawned from those who suffered a horrible death due to torture, starvation, or other evil circumstances, search for their place in the afterlife. The spirit, wracked by earthly pain, is unsure as to whether it should pass on from the realm of the living. It remains in the foggy middle, tied to its place of death as an undead creature.The orinsu are common creatures in Aihrde as the long and bitter Winter Dark and the brutal 20 year Winter Dark War left countless dead, whose bodies were never properly laid to rest. And though these all are not subject to becoming the orinsu, enough of them were cursed or placed under some banishment to keep their souls bound to the world where their fallen bodies lay in rot.[/spoiler]<a href="http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/134618/Castles--Crusades-Stains-Upon-The-Green?affiliate_id=17596" target="_blank">Stains Upon the Green</a>[spoiler]Wight: However, one of the soulless victims of the barghest haunts this room. As noted, Corilyn brought three mercenaries into the Keep with him, and all died at the hands of the barghest.

This unfortunate soul did not die as his companions did, but rather suffered the torment of the barghest, who drew his soul from his living body. So the man fled in torment, bolting himself in the well room. As his body died, it became the hollow form of an allip.Ghost: Though the body is dead, the spirit of the man remains. It is not attached to the body however, only the detached leg. In death the spirit did not know which way to turn and wandered to the leg, where it has hung ever since, looking down upon it, wondering what happened.[/spoiler]<a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/170967/Castles--Crusades-The-Long-Valley?affiliate_id=17596" target="_blank">The Long Valley</a>[spoiler]Bag O' Bones: The bag o’ bones is a result of the blending of the necromantic arts of the undead with the alchemical lore of golem creation.The creation of such a monster requires expensive ingredients (at least 10,000 gp), months of preparation equal to a stone golem, and requires the assistance of both a high level cleric and a master wizard coordinating their powers.Zombie: A lamp set in the ceiling above the main crypt magically lights upon each full moon. As soon as the light touches the exposed corpse of the priest he animates. He then takes up a torch and passes around the room, the light having the same affect on his undead acolytes as it had on him. They each animate in turn.Wight: The priest cast his own soul into a magic jar and the jar was set in a small shelf beneath his head in the bier of the barrow. His body was laid upon the bier and allowed to rise once a month, during the full moon, so that he might wander the valley and see the stars and moon from time to time.A lamp set in the ceiling above the main crypt magically lights upon each full moon. As soon as the light touches the exposed corpse of the priest he animates. Shadow: The priest cast his own soul into a magic jar and the jar was set in a small shelf beneath his head in the bier of the barrow.Ealuta, Gaunt: In their midst was an old washer woman, Ealuta, who had not left Gaxmoor willingly that day, but rather been driven out by her family for she was a thief and threatened murder. She cursed her family, fled the town and laughed in scorn when the city disappeared. She gathered with the refugees near the Cuft Gorge and helped them build a home of loose rock. In time, however, she began to steal from them, and later, when winter struck and food ran short, she stole more. She was eventually found out and driven out of the makeshift town. They hounded her over the bridge and drove her into the snow to die.But she did not die, for she was pickled with hate for all living things, and this hate kept her warm. She found shelter under the eastern side of the , and there carved out a hovel where she found some comfort.When the first of the refugees died, she took note and watched as the others buried him. When they left the grave, she dug up the body and gnawed upon it, devouring the flesh raw. She tried to hide her crimes but was too weak. So, she took a rock and cut the remains into pieces and bore it back across the bridge to her lonely world. There, she buried the meat in the dirt.The others soon discovered her crime but were too weak to pursue her, for the snows were deep and the food already gone. Three more died and were buried in shallow graves, only to suffer the indignity of becoming Ealuta’s meal, one after the other. What followed was a nightmare of death, murder and a witch’s haunt, until at last some few fled into the west to find succor and only one remained, a young girl, whose brother lay in the cold ground. She would not leave his side for him to become a meal for the witch.So Ealuta found her, kneeling in the snow over her brother’s grave, and she sought to make a fresh kill and eat her there and then while the meat was still warm. Her clawed hand grasped the child’s throat to choke the life from it, but far faster and more agile, the child spun and struck Ealuta across the brow with a rock. The witch fell back into the snow, and the girl leapt upon her and stove her head in with the rock. With the last of her strength she took the witch by the hair and dragged her to her gorge and cast her mangled body to the floor far below. With that she left her brother and the valley to the east and came in time to the Massif and the people there where it is said she prospered, but would never speak of those dark days but to her own children.The tale did not end there, however, for Ealuta rose from the gorge, a twisted creature of evil and spite. Wild and without purpose, she haunted the bridge slaying any and all who came to it. Driven by a hunger she could not satisfy, she dwelt there from that day to this.Ghost: Before Gaxmoor was returned to Aihrde, the god Narrheit found a boy hunting in the valley, he learned of the city’s whereabouts from the boy. The boy treated him guardedly, but shared food and clean water with him. For whatever reason this pleased the god of chaos and evil and he took a liking to the boy. He knew that he was about to unleash Gaxmoor from its tether and set his minions upon it. He knew too that they would bring chaos to all who dwelt in the region; so to repay the boy’s kindness he set a guardian upon the Lost Valley. He slew the boy and set his ghost in the valley, tasking it with driving out all evil from the region.Skeleton: ?[/spoiler]<a href="http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/3783/Castles--Crusades-U1-Shadows-of-the-Halfling-Hall?affiliate_id=17596" target="_blank">U1 Shadows of Halfling Hall</a>[spoiler]Halfling Ghoul: ?Halfling Zombie: ?Zombie Dog: Unfortunately, after the attack there was no one to let them out and so the poor animals died of thirst and starvation. The Awakener subsequently animated them as zombies to provide a nasty surprise to anyone nosey enough to intrude in here.Willec the Halfling Zombie: ?Death Grip: These are the left hands of the zombies within the upper hall, now reanimated by the awakener into death grips.The death grip is an unusual form of undead created by a high level necromancer or evil cleric. The hand of a corpse and one of the corpses eyeballs are used in the animation rite and it creates a scuttling clawlike hand that will follow simple commands as a skeleton or zombie.Skeleton: Awakeners also have the ability to animate one of the following groups of undead per week: 6 skeletons or zombies or 2 ghouls or1 ghast or wraith or 1 mummy/month.Bag O' Bones: Rather than animate all the skeletons here, the awakener decided it would be best to combine the material into a single (and dangerous) opponent.It is a result of the blending of the necromantic arts of the undead with the alchemical lore of golem creation.The creation of such a monster requires expensive ingredients (at least 10,000gp) and months of preparation equal to a stone golem and requires the assistance of both a high level cleric and a master wizard coordinating their powers.Mummy Lesser: The awakener will animate these bodies within 1-3 rounds after the party enters.These mummies are rather weaker than the usual mummy due to the relative weakness of the awakener and the condition of the bodies.Awakener: The awakener is a special form of ghost/lich created by the minions of a lord of the undead. This being has its spirit form magic jarred into a piece of jewelry such as a circlet, bracelet, etc. of suitable size. This item is the creature’s focus and is usually of valuable and of exquisite manufacture.Zombie: Awakeners also have the ability to animate one of the following groups of undead per week: 6 skeletons or zombies or 2 ghouls or1 ghast or wraith or 1 mummy/month.Ghoul: Awakeners also have the ability to animate one of the following groups of undead per week: 6 skeletons or zombies or 2 ghouls or1 ghast or wraith or 1 mummy/month.Ghast: Awakeners also have the ability to animate one of the following groups of undead per week: 6 skeletons or zombies or 2 ghouls or1 ghast or wraith or 1 mummy/month.Mummy: Awakeners also have the ability to animate one of the following groups of undead per week: 6 skeletons or zombies or 2 ghouls or1 ghast or wraith or 1 mummy/month.[/spoiler]<a href="http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/20820/Castles--Crusades-U2-Verdant-Rage?affiliate_id=17596" target="_blank">U2 Verdant Rage</a>[spoiler]Ghoul: These figures are ghouls. The burners have been infected with the grave mold so long that the infection has transformed them into the undead: ghouls!Banshee: The reason for its lack of a resident is that the former occupant was transformed by Argus into a banshee.Any female wood folk slain as a gaunt has a 5% chance of rising yet again as a banshee in 1d4 days.Wight: ?Zombie: These zombies were part of Argus’ first experiments in necromancy with the Liber Mortis.Skeleton: The bed is infested with rot grubs, and it was this area where the zombies above ground had been infected. Argus simply cast cleave flesh on these four to make them skeletons and thereby salvage something from the bodies.However, he has a bowl of 24 Hydra’s Teeth that he’s enchanted to transform into undead skeletons (again via the Liber Mortis).The Liber Mortis gives the alchemical recipe for the creation of Hydra’s Teeth. These items (made from the actual teeth of a hydra and other unguents) when properly created, allow the user to bring forth an equal number of skeletons (max HP) as teeth used to serve the caster.Gaunt: Gaunts are the results of necromantic experimentations upon the corpses of elves and other woodland beings.Grave Mold: It is an undead creature, formed by Argus from yellow mold with his residual druidic abilities and the Liber Mortis.Spectre: Within its pages the liber mortis gives detailed information on the creation of specters and liches.Lich: Within its pages the liber mortis gives detailed information on the creation of specters and liches.The Liber MortisThis book is a collection of some of the greatest spells and treatise on the black art of necromancy in the land. Its black leather cover seems to radiate evil and corruption, even while the book itself is spotless and neat. There is a silver pentagram upon the cover and a book latch along the side keeps the tome closed when not in use.The book emits a mild aura of evil at a 15 foot radius. This is easily detectible by even beings not sensitive to magic and no attribute check is required. Any non-evil creatures in the vicinity of the work will feel a sense of disquiet and morale checks will suffer a –2 penalty.The Liber is far more than just a spell book, however. It is actually imbued with negative planar energy to the point that it has a will of its own. It cannot dominate its wielder, though it will use dreams and other lures to encourage a caster to delve into its secrets and begin to cast its spells which will affect the caster as noted below.Any spellcaster (wizard, cleric, druid, etc.) may use the spells in the book, even if their class normally precludes the use of arcane spells. Furthermore, the spells cannot be memorized from the book but can be cast from the book just like a scroll. However, the spell is re-castable and will not disappear as scrolls do. With each spell cast, the caster will lose one point of wisdom and be unaware of its loss. When the caster reaches –1 wisdom, the book will consume the caster’s soul (no save) and the body will crumble into dust.Any wizard who reads the tome will gain +1 level in their class. Any other caster will not gain this level advancement but all perusers of the Liber must make a wisdom save or move one rank in alignment towards chaotic evil. For instance, a lawful good wizard who failed his save would become lawful neutral. A neutral evil druid who failed would become chaotic evil, a chaotic good cleric would become chaotic neutral, etc.The Liber Mortis’s spell abilities are:1. Allows the user to cast the below spells as noted:Cleave Flesh @ (4/day)Detect Undead (3/day)Invisibility to Undead (3/day)Speak with Dead (3/day)Animate/Preserve Dead (2/day)Magic Circle vs Undead (2/day)Create Undead (1/day)Create Greater Undead (1/week)2. Allows the reader to attempt to control undead as a cleric of a level equal to the user’s level (regardless of class).3. Gives the alchemical recipe for the creation of Hydra’s Teeth. These items (made from the actual teeth of a hydra and other unguents) when properly created, allow the user to bring forth an equal number of skeletons (max HP) as teeth used to serve the caster.4. Within its pages gives detailed information on the creation of specters and liches.AlignmentThe alignment of the reader affects its capabilities as noted on the chart below. The damage column indicates how much damage the character with the alignment suffers when first handling the book. This happens only once per reader.Alignment Damage Use AbilitiesLawful Good 4d4 1Lawful Neutral 3d4 1, 2Lawful Evil 1d4 1, 2, 3Neutral Good 3d4 1Neutral 2d4 1, 2Neutral Evil 1d4 1, 2, 3Chaotic Good 2d4 1Chaotic Neutral 1d4 1, 2, 3Chaotic Evil -- All                          Cleave flesh is a 1st level spell that allows the caster to force the flesh of a corpse to drop away from the skeleton, leaving a clean set of bones behind. It will not do the same to living flesh, but will disrupt the flesh and cause 2d4 damage. Note that the use of this spell to create the gibbering mouther in the Great Oak cannot be employed by the player characters.

Once completed, the torture and ritual transformed Prince Tamur for all time into a bodak.Jarisha, Vampire: ?Skeleton Small Beast: These small skeletal creatures are typically raised from the skeletal remains of dogs, cats, wolves, coyotes and the like.

Anyone casting the spell solely on dead animals can gain up to twice his level in HD, as opposed to his level in HD per the spell Animate Dead. In other words, a 5th level Cleric, while normally only able to raise 5HD worth of Undead, may raise 10HD worth of animal skeletons. Only small creatures can be raised as such, no bigger than a large dog.Apparition: ?Bhuta: When a person is murdered, the spirit sometimes clings to the world, refusing to accept its mortal death. This spirit possesses its original body and seeks out those responsible for its murder.Bogeyman: Bogeymen are the stuff of legends: creatures created in the minds of parents who relayed stories about incorporeal ghosts coming to carry their children off if they didn’t go to bed when they were supposed to, didn’t do their chores when asked, and so on. The spectral bogeyman’s ties to the land of the living are a result of these stories. Often, these stories are based on the exploits of criminals, murderers, and madmen that live or have lived in the local area. By the very nature of their creation, bogeymen are evil. They are creatures born of fear and lies, delighting in the torment their fear harbors.Ghast: If a creature dies from wounds sustained by a ghast’s claw and bite damage, and is not eaten by the foul creature, it will rise again as a ghoul or ghast in 2d4-1 days unless the corpse is blessed before interment. The victim will rise as a ghoul if it has less than 4 levels or hit dice, and as a ghast if it has a 4 or more levels or hit dice.Ghost: Ghosts are the restless undead spirits of the tragically or evil deceased. Generally, in life, these people committed some crime or act (or series of acts) that doomed them to forever walk the earth, never finding rest. Many were cruel, vindictive, and visited needless suffering upon others. Others were so consumed with anger, sorrow, or other emotions at the moment of death that their spirits were forced to remain bound to the physical world in perpetual torment.Ghoul: If a creature dies from wounds sustained by a ghast’s claw and bite damage, and is not eaten by the foul creature, it will rise again as a ghoul or ghast in 2d4-1 days unless the corpse is blessed before interment. The victim will rise as a ghoul if it has less than 4 levels or hit dice, and as a ghast if it has a 4 or more levels or hit dice.Haunt: In its living form, the haunt had some mission or task that needed to be completed. So great was the compulsion to finish this deed that, even in death, the creature seeks to fulfill its final task.Huecuva: ?Lich: A lich is a powerful undead creature, born from a hideous ritual performed by a wizard that lusts for everlasting life. Becoming a lich is an option for only the most powerful and reckless of magi, as it involves separating the spirit from the body and binding it in a specially prepared phylactery. This very powerful enchanted item can take any form, but it is usually an amulet of the finest quality.Few know these arcane rituals, and of those few, even fewer dare test the sorcery. If it fails, the wizard’s soul is lost and forever irretrievable.Mummy: A mummy is an undead creature usually wrapped in divine bandages and urged to existence through prayer and ceremony.Poltergeist: The poltergeist is an invisible undead spirit that haunts a specific area. Sometimes this area is one that it was close to in life, but more often than not, the area is the place the poltergeist was killed when it was alive.Revenant: Any human (and only humans) that have died an extremely ghastly death can arise as a revenant to exact revenge on its killer. The revenant, in life, must have had a minimum of 15 CON, INT and WIS to become a revenant. Even at that, the chances are very slim.Shadow: They are either doomed souls who, in life, perpetrated great evil against innocents, or they are thralls, created and bound to darkness by another shadow.A creature reduced to 0 strength by a shadow’s strength drain attack is slain. The deceased will rise again as a shadow within 1d4 rounds.A creature reduced to 0 Strength by a shadow wolf’s Drain attack is slain. The deceased rises again as a normal shadow within 1d4 rounds.Skeleton: Skeletons are the animated remains of dead creatures. Their bodies are little more than bone and sinew held together by vile sorcery.Spectre: Spectres are spiritual echoes; fragments of a learned person that died in the pursuit of knowledge.Any creature slain by a spectre will become a spectre in 1d4 rounds.Vampire: If a Vampire is killed, all of its spawn immediately become full vampires.Vampire Spawn: Vampire Spawn, or lesser vampires, are those mortals who are turned into a vampire by the kiss of a full vampire.If a vampire chooses, it can drain the blood or energy of a human victim in such a way as to bring the deceased into unlife as a vampire spawn. This spawn is under the control of the slaying vampire. This ability is not automatic, but must be consciously used.If a vampire wolf chooses, it can drain the blood or energy of a human victim in such a way as to bring the deceased into unlife as a vampire spawn. This ability is not automatic, but must be consciously used.Wight: ?Wight Spawn: A human victim killed by the wight’s energy drain can be brought back to unlife, as a wight, under the control of the slaying wight. The slaying wight must want to use this ability; it is not automatic.Wolf Ghoul: ?Wolf Shadow: ?Wolf Vampiric: ?Wraith: Wraiths are powerful wights (q.v.) who have forged a more powerful bond with the negative material plane.Wraith Spawn: A human victim killed by the wraith’s energy drain can be brought back to life as a wraith, under the control of the slaying wraith. The slaying wraith must want to use this ability; it is not automatic.Zombie: Zombies are undead humanoids, reanimated corpses that stalk the earth with little purpose or reason.In some campaigns, zombies may be able to infect others with their bite, slowly turning the infected into zombies. In such a case, the victim bitten must make a constitution save at -2 or be infected.

If a character dies from this poison, they rise within 48 hours as a new undead of the same type as the handmaidens, entirely under the thrall of the Cardinal and his schemes.Cardinal Richelieu: An important reason why the Cardinal believes stories of werewolves and the like is simple: he is a vampire himself, having sold his soul to Satan for the glory of France, and for personal power and glory.Comte de Rochefort, Vampire Spawn: ?Musketeer Squire of Satan: ?Queen Anne: And what about the queen? She spent several days being held captive and possibly tortured by minions of the devil—is she still the pure and good soul she appears to be, or is she now in league with the Cardinal as a witch or undead consort?Johnny Ringo, Restless Dead: ?Degenerate Pygmy: Mutated, vile cave pygmies that have been corrupted by the evil within.Dracula: ?Varney the Vampire: ?Camilla: ?Undead: Magic should be subtle and gradually erase the humanity from its user, turning him into something dark, amoral, and demonic.

Any undead over 8 hit dice, however, get a saving throw against spells to retain their own will and not be subservient to the caster. Such canny undead may decide to work with the sorcerer on their own, until the time comes for their eventual betrayal. This spell cannot be prepared in advance; it requires a ritual lasting at least six hours to complete.AWFUL RITE OF UNDEATH, Level 9 WisCT 12 hours R self D permanentSV n/a SR n/a Comp V, S, MThis spell allows a sorcerer to live on beyond death as a creature called a lich, placing his or her soul (or what’s left of it by this time) into a separate vessel, always a fist-sized gem, which becomes a magical artifact. So long as this vessel is intact, the sorcerer will always live on, though their appearance will continue to degrade as they grow ever more ancient, appearing more and more gaunt, desiccated, dry, and mummified as the centuries pass by. Illusion magic is often used to cover this unfortunate side-effect.To use this spell, the sorcerer must have a minimum of 15 points of corruption and a fist-sized gem in which to place his soul. Upon completion of the spell, the sorcerer collapses, dead to all appearances and examination. The vessel in which his soul is kept must then be placed upon his chest and the ritual completed, usually by a trusted assistant or acolyte, at which point the lich awakens. Once the lich awakens, the soul-vessel can be removed as far away from the lich as desired, and indeed few liches keep their soul-vessel with them, as anyone who gains access to the bauble can exercise control over the lich, who will be terrified of death at the hands of the one who holds its soul. The lich, however, will always plot to get its soul-vessel back, and should it do so woe betide the one who sought to control such an ancient evil.A lich can only be destroyed by one who holds its soul-vessel. Any other attempts to destroy it will result only in temporary defeat; the lich will, if killed, rise again (even if it needs to re-form) within one week. If one who holds the gem kills the creature, however, it will remain dead unless a new resurrection ritual is performed using the soul-vessel as a focus.Unfortunately, the soul-vessel itself cannot, by its very nature, be destroyed, so those who manage to kill a lich in this manner often end up guarding the gem for the rest of their natural lives, even passing it down to their children, that it may never be used to raise the creature. Some have attempted to rid the world of the soul-vessels by burying them deep in tombs, or throwing them into volcanoes or the ocean, but there is always the risk of the gem being found once more and raising the lich from the grave.[/spoiler][/spoiler]Victorious[spoiler]<a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/169398/Victorious-the-Role-Playing-Game?affiliate_id=17596" target="_blank">Victorious the Role Playing Game</a>[spoiler]Ghost: Ghosts are the undead spirits of evil men, women, or even animals.

He’d spent half a lifetime in the shadow of better privateers and pirates, always trying for the big catch, the golden prize that would set him up for life and make his name revered with other legends such as Blackbeard and Kidd, Raleigh and Drake. While he caught enough Spanish merchantmen to keep his ship afloat and his crew paid, he could never catch the better prizes. His luck always seemed to fail him when it counted.One night he got drunk and staggered to the hut of an old Houngan, who was notorious among the pirate community for having the touch of Satan about her. First he’d paid a few shillings for a telling of his fortune, and her words only seemed to promise more mediocrity, more failures. In a drunken frenzy he demanded she get hold of “Ol’ Nick’ hisself!” and he’d sell his soul to have a Spanish treasure ship in his grasp. The old woman smiled, and said the bargain was struck.Within two weeks, Blackfriar’s ship entered a thick fogbank, quite unusual for the Caribbean. As he tried to regain his directions, his vessel nearly rammed a massive Spanish galleon. This ship, the yearly treasure craft bringing the gold and silver of the New World to His Spanish Majesty, had lost her escorts in the fog. She was alone, and bewildered as to her direction. Not missing a moment, Blackfriar gave a couple of broadsides into the Spanish ship before they could react. With a crash of timbers, his ship moved alongside the liner and his men charged over the gunnels to board their prey. Despite heavy fighting, it was the pirates who were victorious. At last, Captain Blackfriar had his gold, and his reputation would soar!So it would, but not in the way Blackfriar believed. With an unearthly chill surrounding them, the great Spanish galleon Esmerelda sank into the murky depths of the ocean, with not a single survivor found in the waters. The few on board Blackfriar’s ship Cutlass looked for any of the boarders, but eventually sailed away to spread the tale of Blackfriar’s failed grasp of fortune and fame.This wasn’t the last of the Blackfriar, however, Sailors started to speak in whispers of an unnatural fog bank that swept down on lone ships at night, and the bones of Captain Blackfriar and his dead crew would slash and kill, the apparition still searching for his fame and fortune aboard the seaweed-choked wreck of the Esmerelda. Is the undead captain searching for more gold? For fame? For an end to his torment? No one knows, but legend says he searches the Caribbean and the Atlantic, firing cannon broadsides into steamers and ironclad warships alike, leaving none to speak of his passing.[/spoiler]<a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/285099/Victorious-Evil-in-the-White-City-Act-1-The-Articulator?affiliate_id=17596" target="_blank">Victorious: Evil in the White City Act 1 The Articulator</a>[spoiler]Wulfric Knight, The Wolf at Midnight, Ghost: After some conversation and questions, Wulfric realized to his horror that the man calling himself Lord Mortis was in fact a necromancer; one of the few types of magicians that most practitioners could agree were evil and to be avoided at all costs!

So great was the compulsion to finish this deed that, even in death, the creature seeks to fulfill its final task.A haunt can be of any alignment and its task can be anything from the mundane (replace the stone in the wall thus covering the secret hiding place) to the extraordinary (travel to a distant land and deliver a message of peace, then return); from the safe (to see my son that was born after I died) to the dangerous (revenge my family by killing the ancient red dragon that murdered them all).Haunt Poltergeist: The poltergeist is an invisible undead spirit that haunts a specific area. Sometimes this area is one that it was close to in life, but more often than not, the area is the place the poltergeist was killed.Skeleton Animal: Animal carcasses that are the target of Animate Dead are raised as animal skeletons. Anyone casting the spell solely on dead animals can gain up to twice his level in HD, as opposed to his level in HD per the spell Animate Dead. In other words, a 5th level cleric, while normally only able to raise 5HD worth of Undead, may raise 10HD worth of animal skeletons.

Some setite and human followers of Set willingly petition the god for this infliction, to become members of his Chosen flock.There are three known ways to become a vampire, according to those specialists who are necromantic students of the undead. First, followers of Set who betray the dictates of their accursed god can be damned with Setitic Vampirism. Vampirism can be brought down on someone who was so evil and villainous in life that they are grabbed by Devonin and offered a second chance to walk the land of the living, as a stalker in the night.Finally, a vampire can be created when they bite a mortal and share blood, rendering the blood of the mortal impure. This is not always effective, and the process creates a special master-servant bond between the vampires, which has such psychological ramifications that it is done rarely.Hagarant Lord: These are the descendants of House Dadera and other evil people who, in their corruption, lost their souls entirely to the temptations of chaos and evil. Now, they are undead husks of the people they once were.The Hagarant Lords are an ancient evil which some say has its roots beneath the capitol of Octzel. The Hagarant Lords were a coven of nobles and powerful mages who swore fealty to the mad god Slithotep in exchange for immortality. The unexpected result of their immortality was a slow descent in to madness and undeath.Esidria Elas Phallikoskis, Vampire Wizard 14: ?Castor Elas Markovin, Vampire Fighter-Wizard 13: He seeks, some believe, to perform an act which will grant his family freedom from the curse which Set has placed upon him, although the nature of his curse and its origins are lost in time, and only he knows.Moria, Ashtarth Vampire Ranger-Rogue 9: Her curse is a mystery, for she is not known to have worshipped Set, but some believe that she was bitten by a Setitie Vampire who once served Karukithyak, and for such shame, she was forced to leave her homeland.Skistatikan, Setite Serpent-Man Vampire Necromancer-Cleric 9: Banished from Hazer-Phennis the underworld empire of the Setite serpent men, he fled a decade ago to the Octzellan lands, and eventually found his niche within the Capitol. He is a dedicated servant of Set, and does not understand why he was transformed into a vampire by his god.Lich Lord Krenkin, Human Wizard 23: Krenkin was eventually able to make his way to Halistrak’s distant stronghold on the seventh planet of the system and broke in to his vault of secrets, where he learned much about magic, and how to prolong his life as a liche.Halistrak, Lich: ?Aggamite Troll: The magically created children birthed of trolls impregnating undead wombs spawned terrible outcasts.Barrow Wight: In the ancient history of Hyrkania, many of the old kings of the pre empire days would bury their dead in huge mounds, with rock tombs beneath. Within these catacombs would go the line of their family, and for generations the dead would be buried like so. These ancient mound lands were, alas, ripe for the time of the War of the Gods, and when the power of the Chaos Lords spread through the land, many necromancer kings who rose in the time of conflict saw to it that their tombs were guarded, often by the reanimated remains of these earlier kings.The lords and kings themselves are said to have arisen, willfully, from the grave to jealously guard the treasure hordes they buried themselves with.Veregnar Gonn Dalpuris, Hagarant Lord: Veregnar Gonn Dalpuris was a powerful duke seven centuries ago who had an unfortunate habit of taking on mistresses behind his wife’s back. He was seduced by a woman named Melantha, who was in fact a member of the Black Society in Octzel, a vampiress and half-demon who lured him in to the study of the dark arts of chaos and the worship of Slithotep, the mad god. Veregnar was swayed by this cult and joined the movement, becoming a potent wizard. In time, their plot was foiled and he was one of the few survivors, who stole away and hid in a tomb-like secret enclave in the city sewers, where he went undiscovered in an undead slumber.Karukithyak, Vampire: Karukithyak was born with the rare malady of Vampirism.Melantha, Vampire Half-Demon: ?Dysadda Gyristia, Vampire: The Tower of Serpents is the headquarters of the Setites and their representative of the Council of Four, the serpent sorceress Dysadda Gyristia, great great granddaughter or the long-dead Dysadda Benn. She is a cruel manipulator, sorceress, and schemer, and has for the time being sworn her undying loyalty to Xauraun, that she be spared, as thousands of her kin were slaughtered or driven from the city on the day he ascended to power. She is now considered a traitor to Set, and has begun to develop vampiric traits as fits the curse which overcomes Set's most loyal minions who betray him.Baron Hroder, Vampire: Baron Hroder was the ruling baron of Galent before he was turned into a Vampire by the mad Karukithyak.Lion-Vampire Being: ?Erigast, Liche: ?Nialle, The Dark Queen, Liche: ?Lady Catea Gonn Aleric, Liche: ?Arcus Tallus-Perilan, Human Liche Wizard 25: ?Belphegor, The Corruptor, Demiurge Demon Lord: This fallen demiurge of Chaos is said to have died more deaths than most. Having been an ancient devonin lord ensorcelled in to the service of the Prehunate Empire ten thousand years ago, Belphegor was slain on the fields of battle when the gods cast down the heretical pre-human civilization of old. Thousands of years later, the dark necromancers of the Kadantanian Empire sought to resurrect the demon god, and he was brought to life through much sacrifice, rising from the festering remains of his subterranean tomb to live anew. For centuries, the Kadantanians were a force to be reckoned with, but at last they were destroyed in war, and Belphegor’s vampiric undeath could not be sustained. He fell once again in to deathly slumber, only to be awakened again by agents of Draskis, in which descendents of the Kadantanian necromancers had found new power. He became the god of the Draskis, and in a period of war and strife, the kingdom of Draskis almost destroyed the eastern kingdom of Cymeer. Belphegor was summoned on the fields of battle, in which the Cymeeri god Amehwy and his seraphim minions were also summoned, and the dark god slew the Cymeeri demiurge. It was a terrible blow, and Draskis swept over their foes like a great tidal wave, but during the Reckoning, the powers of Chaos were smitten by the triumph of Order, and Belphegor’s life force was once again drained, and the terrible beast fell. His followers, sundered and marked with the taint of the sherigras, built the Draskis Necropolis about his festering corpse, hoping to find a way to channel new energies in to his body. Eventually, the Cymeeri people rose up against their oppressors, and conquered the Draskis people. The Necropolis Draskis fell silent, no more desperate offerings brought to it. It seemed that Belphegor would rest forever more.Most recently, the Red Dragon Comet appeared in the sky, heralding an eons old return of the great balance. The comet was stricken from the sky by the might of the new Dark Lord of Chaos, as Xauraun Vestillios stole the power of his forebears, and the rain of debris from the comet brought an explosion of raw chaos energy upon the land. One such meteor plunged in to the heart of the Necropolis Draskis, and penetrated the heart of Belphegor. Like a cardiac patient under the paddles, his necrotic being shook with painful awareness, and he was once again brought to vampiric life. Now, infused with new power, Belphegor schemes to draw forth new followers and carve out a new empire of darkness in the land.Death Knight, Knight of Chaos: The Knights of Chaos (also called death knights) are a rare and horrifying form of undead, spawned from the incarnation of a truly evil Black Rider. Usually, the knight was dedicated to a chaotic order, such as the Black Riders of Slithotep, or the Order of Set. It is also known that a knight dedicated to a just or good order who succumbs to supreme corruption might be swayed into the domain of evil.Such knights are forbidden to walk the path of the Final Night (a euphemism for the journey the dead make to the afterlife), leading them into the Land of the Dead, for their souls have been claimed by Chaos, but in defiance of their true masters in the Abyss, the pure strength of their post mortem incarnations are capable of fending off the petitioners of the Abyss.Velboshia-Lok Nodivia, Guardian of the Old Kings: Ancient guardians of the Tombs of the Gods, these desiccated corpses were once the proud Temple Guards of the Divine Palaces in the mythic city Corti’Zahn. When the War of the Gods destroyed the early Fertile Empires of Hyrkania and laid low the mortal forms of the divine lords, the temple guardians who died in the conflict against the demons were mummified and submitted to a terrible necromantic process to revive them as eternal tomb protectors. Something horrible corrupted the spells of reanimation, however, seeping in from the Chaos Energy which permeated the land in the wake of the war, and grew like a fungus in the bodies of these undead guardians.Vessilante: The Vessilante are a rare sort of entity which is created magically through the bonding of a corrupted Devonin or Seraph in the form of a mortal human. These great monstrosities are usually culled from freshly dead corpses, often pieced together if there was damage to the original body. The process of habitation heals the damage and changes the nature of the body such that it must shun the light or suffer excruciating pain.Undead: In Lingusia, returning from the dead is not easy. Few local clerics have the ability, and fewer still would use it out of hand or without good cause. Evil clerics are much likelier to use it….but corruption of the risen can happen, and anytime an evil cleric raises someone there is a cumulative 3% chance that person will rise as a powerful undead, instead!The tales of this victory are not unblemished, however, for the bards of Dra’in say that Erik Kharam earned his victory by making a pact with the Banshee Liawnenshe, a diabolical spirit of the Silver Mountains who knew the secrets to Anharak’s defeat. She offered them to Kharam, for a price. He was to take her as his wife, thus freeing her of her curse.Kharam agreed, but could not bring himself to marry the hideous spirit, and reneged on his agreement after Anharak was defeated (some say Anharak was defeated by a knight errant of the Yllmar, as well, and that Kharam didn’t even accomplish this much). Liawnenshe was mortified, and cursed Kharam and his kingdom to an eternity of haunted strife. So it is said, the tale goes, that Dra’in became the damnable place it is.In fact, Dra’in might not seem so terrible to those who have visited some other, harsher realms, but the troubles of living in a domain where all warriors seemed doomed to fall in battle and rise as restless undead seem very much difficult to an everyday peasant. The people of the land are fearful of their very shadows, and take special measures to seal corpses in to coffins, or enact elaborate rituals to put the restless spirits to rest. The dead return to life all too easily in this land.Lord Sitor, Human Lich Wizard 23: Sitor had long prepared for his death, however, and the Cult of the Undying, a group that had formed over the last century of mages who worshipped him, held the phylactery into which his spirit transferred on death.Darksed, Death Knight Fighter 10, Rogue 6, Mage 6: ?[/spoiler]Ghoul: ?Ashtarth Vampire: ?Lizard Man Vampire: ?Ghost: Lake Spirit Trap: This deep lake is said to have gotten its name from the time of the War of the Gods, when the armies of order forged northward to contain the abyssal spawn which erupted from the region. During a fierce battle against the demonic dragon Alkuvar Destriganumos, the beast was slain and plunged in to the earth, forming the deep crater that became Lake Spirit Trap. The tale goes on, saying that the blood of the dragon tainted the waters which filled the crater, turning it red on certain evil days, and that the ghosts of the soldiers which fell in battle against the dragon were trapped forever more, unable to escape their watery graves.Alkuvar Destriganumos, Undead Dragon: Lake Spirit Trap: This deep lake is said to have gotten its name from the time of the War of the Gods, when the armies of order forged northward to contain the abyssal spawn which erupted from the region. During a fierce battle against the demonic dragon Alkuvar Destriganumos, the beast was slain and plunged in to the earth, forming the deep crater that became Lake Spirit Trap. The tale goes on, saying that the blood of the dragon tainted the waters which filled the crater, turning it red on certain evil days, and that the ghosts of the soldiers which fell in battle against the dragon were trapped forever more, unable to escape their watery graves. Indeed,strange things seem to haunt the lake, and the handful of men who ply their trade as fishermen and bargers on the lake are a nervous, stoic lot. Even stranger rumors suggest that the draconic, undead form of the dragon still dwells within the lake, surfacing on those days of Sanguine tide, to seek out new victims to sustain its unlife.Corporeal Undead: ?Mummy: ?Trebitha Gonn Chastetor, Greater Mummy: ?Skeleton: ?Skeleton, Lokenze: This is the place most adventurers are likely to frequent. Located at the old Crossroads (back when Galent was nothing more than the Keep), this Inn and Tavern caters to most out-of-town customers. Its owner, An Ogre Magi of indeterminate age, purchased the business from its prior owner who built the Tavern some fifty years ago on the very spot where a huge tree grew, off of which dozens of criminals and despots had been hung, either by the neck or in cages, to die. Since then, such public executions have moved south to the new crossroads, but the memory of the former still remains.In fact, the Tavern & Inn was built around the old tree, the base of which can be seen taking of a sizeable portion of the Tavern's center. The four rooms which touch upon the tree on the second level are rarely used, except to intentionally humiliate someone unfamiliar with local tales, or by those one betting dare. This is because the tree is haunted in a most unusual way.In Octzellan burial customs criminals are hung on specially marked trees, so that their spirits are trapped within the tree. These trees are "undead", so to speak; they have no dryad, or spirit, within them, yet they live. Instead they take the soul of those killed on or close to them, preventing the criminal from reaching the afterlife.Undead Tree: In Octzellan burial customs criminals are hung on specially marked trees, so that their spirits are trapped within the tree.

The means for such a thing to pass are several. First and foremost, the wise-woman may delve into eldritch things that are beyond her ken and thus be horribly transformed, possessed perhaps, by a demonic spirit. Similarly, she may be corrupted by Chaos through feelings of jealousy, envy, or hatred for those in her community whom she feels may take advantage of her. Too, another bhabaphir may visit the village in disguise and “convert” the local wise-woman. Finally, she may fall in secret to the service of another, more potent vampire, and also be transformed.Ekimmu, Spirit Vampire, Vampire Lord: They are themselves descended from Chaos cultists of Elder Deshret who ascended to a state of Undeath during the Wars of Chaos.Strighoiphirs who have ascended beyond their physical bodies.If the ekimmu slays a human, half-elven, half-ogre, half-orc, goblin-man, or gnole victim with his energy drain ability, he may, if he chooses, cause the victim to rise again as a strighoiphir, mhoroiphir, or other lesser form of vampire. He can also cause it to rise again as a spectre, wraith, wight, ghast, ghoul, or zombie, if he so chooses. Only 13+ HD ekimmu can create other ekimmu; these will be of the 10 HD variety.Spectre: If the ekimmu slays a human, half-elven, half-ogre, half-orc, goblin-man, or gnole victim with his energy drain ability, he may, if he chooses, cause the victim to rise again as a strighoiphir, mhoroiphir, or other lesser form of vampire.

The lhamira usually must want to use this ability; it is not automatic. Males will be brought back as mhoroiphirs, females as lhamiras, and children as szalbaphirs.Lhamphir, Plague Bearer: The lhamphir arises on rare occasions from those who wereslain through plague; only the first slain in a settlement might arise as a lhamphir, if proper precautions are not taken. If the body is given final rites and a proper burial or cremation according to the Good or Lawful faith to which the victim belonged, then the lhamphir cannot arise. Otherwise, there is a percentage chance equal to the Charisma score plus the level of the victim that he arises as a lhamphir. If the community and his family abandoned him during his illness, this chance doubles that he arises as a lhamphir, eager to avenge himself upon those who turned on him.If the lhamphir slays a human, half-elven, half-ogre, half-orc, goblin-man, or gnole victim of his disease by use of his drain health ability to drain his last point of Constitution (not merely through loss of Constitution through the disease), he may, if he chooses, cause the victim to rise again the next night as a lhamphir or a ghoul. If he creates a ghoul spawn, the ghoul will not cause paralysis with its bite and claw attacks; instead the attacks might cause the plague, as per the black breath ability of the lhamphir.Mhoroiphir, Living Vampire: Mhoroiphirs can result from several sources, the most common being created as the spawn of an existing mhoroiphir. They can also be created by lhamiras, strighoiphirs, and ekimmu. Finally, they might arise naturally, or rather, unnaturally, especially in the land of Strigoria. These methods include, among others: Dying without being consecrated to the God of Law; Committing suicide; Practicing sorcery, black witchcraft, or eldritch wizardry in life; Having a spell-caster’s familiar jump on your corpse before you are buried; Eating the flesh of an animal killed by a vampire; Being slain by a lycanthrope; Death by murder un-avenged; Dying while cursed by a sorcerer or witch.If the ekimmu slays a human, half-elven, half-ogre, half-orc, goblin-man, or gnole victim with his energy drain ability, he may, if he chooses, cause the victim to rise again as a strighoiphir, mhoroiphir, or other lesser form of vampire.

Strighoiphirs can also result from an ekimmu or strighoiphir creating such a beast.A human, half-elven, half-ogre, half-orc, goblin-man, or gnole victim killed by the strighoiphir’s energy drain can be brought back to un-life, under the control of the slaying strighoiphir.

They also result when a vampire seeks revenge against a mortal and drains his children to create a true level of horror.A human, half-elven, half-ogre, half-orc, goblin-man, or gnole victim killed by the szalbaphir’s blood drain can be brought back to un-life, under the control of the slaying szalbaphir.

Given that these undead had a degree of free will it could be assumed that the magic involved in their creation or revival is tainted strongly with unholy powers and/or negative energy. Even if enslaved to a necromancer, the risk of their breaking free of their bonds is high.

Ghost: If anything, they are an even greater example of will interacting with negative/unholy energy to defy death and even more-so than their corporeal counterparts, are stuck between life and death. Ghost Dragon: A ghost dragon is the undead spirit of an evil dragon, forever haunting the region of its death, or more commonly, guarding its beloved treasure hoard into eternity. In life, the dragon was a paragon of its sub-species; greedy, cruel, vindictive, and generally causing suffering upon those in its domain. Upon the dragon’s death, its spirit was forced to remain bound to the physical world. Fell Shadow: When a victim is reduced to 0 STR points, 0 hit points, or 0 CON points, the victim is dead and will rise in 1-3 nights as a lesser Fell Shadow under the thrall of the Fell Shadow that slew him or her; if the Fell Shadow in question still exists. If not, the new Fell Shadow will be independent and at full strength. Fell Shadow Lesser: When a victim is reduced to 0 STR points, 0 hit points, or 0 CON points, the victim is dead and will rise in 1-3 nights as a lesser Fell Shadow under the thrall of the Fell Shadow that slew him or her; if the Fell Shadow in question still exists. If not, the new Fell Shadow will be independent and at full strength. Death Knight: Orb of the Dead Grant Un-Death power.ORB OF THE DEAD This magical item appears as a simple sphere of rough black basalt approximately four inches in diameter. Its magical ability does not appear unless exposed to a ‘detect magic’ spell or until it is picked up by someone capable of using magic. Should someone pick the sphere up that is of good alignment, they will suffer a terrible burning sensation though no damage. The longer they hold the sphere the worse the burning gets. If someone of neutral alignment picks of the sphere, a battle of wills begins between the spirit of the orb and the person holding it. Should the person lose the battle, they will be possessed by the orb and an agent of death seeking to spread death to all corners of the world. Should the person win the battle, they will be able to utilize only the basic functions of the orb. Should someone of evil alignment pick up the sphere, the sphere will reinforce their desire to kill and destroy unless they are already an agent of death at which point the spirit of the orb may offer a partnership and use of its full abilities. The orb is only capable of being destroyed by being exposed to pure positive energy, such as being tossed into the positive plane; or struck by the primary weapon of a divine servant of a lawfully good aligned divinity, such as an angel’s spear. Intelligence: High Alignment: Neutral Evil Basic Powers: Control Undead (common): The possessor may control up to double their level in hit dice worth of common undead. If the possessor is of evil alignment then up to four times their level in hit dice of common undead may be controlled. Life Leech: Any creature that dies within one hundred yards of the Orb of the Dead has their soul or spirit absorbed by the orb rather than passing on to whatever afterlife they may have been destined for. The Orb may absorb 100 levels worth of life energy before reaching its maximum power. When the Orb of the Dead is fully powered, it will begin to glow crimson from within its depths as if its core was molten. Create Undead (minor common): The possessor may create two skeletons or one zombie per use at the expense of one life level of energy possessed by the orb. If more undead than what can be controlled are created, they will run amok with the potential of turning on their creator if no other potential victims are nearby. Major Powers: Spell Use: The possessor of the Orb gains knowledge and use of all negative energy based spells, be they arcane or divine, known to the world. Each of these spells may be cast at the cost of one life energy level possessed by the orb per level of the spell being cast. Control Undead Army : The possessor may control up to six hundred and sixty six hit dice worth of undead of any type within one mile of the Orb. This ability overrides the basic Control Undead ability and may not be used in tandem with it. Immunity to Negative Energy (full): The possessor becomes immune to level draining effects of undead and all spells or magical effects based on negative energy, such as cause wounds spells or slay living. Grant Un-death: The possessor of the Orb may utilize 50 life levels within the orb with its agreement, to pass into a state of un-death. For spell casters, this means becoming a lich. For non-spell casters, they become vampires, though there is a 5% chance of a warrior type becoming a death knight instead. Kingdom of the Dead: Usable only when the Orb is fully powered and by a possessor in full partnership with the Orb itself, this ability causes the life energy of those killed by undead within six miles of the Orb to be absorbed by it and to rise themselves as common undead using one of the absorbed levels. Essentially, this creates a self-sustaining reaction of death and un-death within the borders of ‘the Kingdom’. The undead within the kingdom are under no command beyond killing all that lives, the exception being those controlled with other powers of the Orb. This is the ultimate ability of the Orb. [/spoiler]<a href="http://www.knightsofthecrusade.com/society-library" target="_blank">Domesday 8</a>[spoiler]Wraith of a Necromancer: A necromancer’s wraith is the undead wraith-like spirit of a powerful necromancer, forever lusting to create powerful undead under its control. The wraith of the necromancers employs powerful and unique necromantic spells and undead abilities to make this happen. In life, the necromancer was a high level spell caster specializing in necromantic spheres focused to create a personal domain of negative energy and undead status. Typically a wizard-cleric multi-class character of 15th to 19th level! If the necromancer was a single class spell caster in life then the caster level could be as high as 23rd to 25th level, but decrease the dice type to d6 for wizards and increase the dice type to d10 for clerics. Aside: The clerical masters of a necromancer are typically demons, devils, or gods; Lolth, Kali, Ares, Set, Druaga, Inanna, Hel, Hades, Surma, or Yutrus.The wraith of a necromancer was a powerful necromancer who has managed to forge a most powerful bond with the negative material plane and shed all connections of the flesh.Zombie: Any humanoid victim, no racial exceptions, killed by the energy drain of the necromancer’s wraith suffers a fate far worse than death. Their soul is stripped from their body and both are immediately enslaved and corrupted to the will of the wraith of the necromancer. Within d3 rounds the victim’s body raises as a four hit dice zombie and their soul becomes a full strength wraith, both under the control of the wraith of the necromancer.Deathly Blight spell.Wraith: Any humanoid victim, no racial exceptions, killed by the energy drain of the necromancer’s wraith suffers a fate far worse than death. Their soul is stripped from their body and both are immediately enslaved and corrupted to the will of the wraith of the necromancer. Within d3 rounds the victim’s body raises as a four hit dice zombie and their soul becomes a full strength wraith, both under the control of the wraith of the necromancer.Ghoul: Deathly Blight spell.Ghast: Deathly Blight spell.Wight: Deathly Blight spell.Shadow: Deathly Blight spell.Lich: Deathly Blight spell.Ghost: Deathly Blight spell.Morgane Boylin, Shade: ?Gnoll Ghoul: ?Bjorn the Old, Ole the Giant Slayer, Human Trollblood Partial Undead Ranger 7: Rather it be Bjorn’s luck or his Norse half-troll soul, his near death at the claws and fangs of a ghast and ghoul pack have left his body and soul straddling two worlds. His normally good aligned soul has been faintly tainted by evil he can feel and innately struggles against (and magic can detect). His body does not take well to healing, be it natural or divine, in many ways it seems to be slowly dying. Food and drink do not slack his ravenous hunger and all things living make his mouth water (further disgusting him). In some ways he is both a mortal human and an undead ghast, in others he is fully neither.DEATHLY BLIGHT*, Level 9 wizard or 8 clericCT 2 R zero D permanentSV None* SR no Comp V, S, MThis spell is favored by powerful and foul creatures, especially Wraith Necromancers, and is used to spread their foul influence over any territory they wish to claim as their own (area of affect is a sphere with a radius of one mile per level).Once cast, this spell will cause the land, air, sea, and subterranean domain within the area of affect from the target point, or focus, to begin to decay and wither. Water will become foul, animals will become diseased and begin to die rising later as skeletal or zombie versions of their species, grass will wither and crops will rot. Vermin become more dangerous and larger over time as they feed on the tainted carcasses and rotten produce. *All living creatures will need to make a saving throw versus death daily to avoid becoming tainted themselves before they can escape. Failure means that the very land begins draining one point of CON and WIS from them each day that they dwell within the deathly blight. Once tainted, leaving the area will not save you, a remove disease or remove curse is required. Sentient creatures whose CON and/or WIS are reduced to zero die and rise the next night as mindless zombies, or if of evil alignment to begin with, as ghouls. For dramatic play, PC become ghasts or wights for fighter types, shadows for thieves, liches or ghosts for spell casters.The nights in such blighted lands are the stuff of nightmares. Thick mist rises from the earth to reduce vision and sound to mere tens of feet and a feeling of constantly being watched prickles the senses. A feeling of being contaminated by something that cannot be washed off no matter how long or hard one scrubs persists for days after leaving such a desecrated area. The material components for this spell are extensive: skull of a lich, blood of a vampire, dust of a mummy, and ichor from an abyssal creature.Only a wish or the application of the reverse of this spell, heaven's blessing, which has been lost for ages, can cure the deathly blight once it has set into the land and water.[/spoiler]<a href="http://www.knightsofthecrusade.com/society-library" target="_blank">Domesday 9</a>[spoiler]Cuir-Lijik, Leather Corpse: In this case, the cuir-lijik was the lone survivor of the ambush. As a servant and henchman of the family, he knew generally where the family had a hidden niche in the fire place. However, either he did not know of the pit trap that protected the niche, or in his haste after the ambush, he forgot it was there. As such, he fell into the trap when he tried to open the secret niche. The fall was not great enough to kill him, but with all other family members, servants, henchmen, and smugglers dead, he was left there to die slowly in the dark pit, laying atop the ancient cursed bolder the black druids offered blood sacrifices on many generations ago. As he died slowly, the acid which drips from the walls began to tan his flesh and dark cursed powers filled his body.Undead Treant: ?Black Bear Ghoul: ?Ogre Zombie: ?Gnoll Ghoul: ?Human Ghoul: ?[/spoiler]The Keeper Issue 1[spoiler]Revenant: Only an individual who was particularly evil and vengeful in life can made into a revenants through the use of Create Greater Undead by a cleric of level 15 or higher.Zombie: If the revenants so chooses, those who are killed by strength loss can be brought back to unlife as a zombie under control of the revenants.

Removal of the victim ’s body from the water will prevent this from happening.Mummy Greater: The majority of Greater Mummies were High Level Clerics in life, but sometimes Kings, Archmages or mighty warriors can be turned into a Mummy Lord. The process for creating a Greater Mummy involves a complex series of rituals and clerical magic. This dark necromantic rite can be performed on either a still living being or on one who has died - assuming the body was specially treated, prepared and maintained immediately following their death. Obviously, clerics who perform the ritual on themselves must still be living!Phantom: Phantoms are the undead spirits of those who still long for the pleasures of mortal life.Phantoms can be made with the Create Greater Undead spell by a cleric of level 17 or higher provided they meet the personality traits as described above. Of course, some phantoms (like all undead) are created though unfathomable means, simply through their lust for continued life.[/spoiler][/spoiler][/spoiler]Crimson Blades[spoiler]<a href="http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/174346/Crimson-Blades-2-Dark-Fantasy-RPG?affiliate_id=17596" target="_blank">Crimson Blades 2</a>[spoiler]Undead: Undead are either the dead bodies of people that have been reanimated by evil sorcerers and cultists to serve them as bodyguard or, tormented souls that due to the way they died have been unable to leave the earthly realm.

One such experiment was Operation Deep Six, an attempt to biologically introduce the ability to breathe underwater. The secret experimental laboratory was disguised as a nondescript oil-drilling derrick located in the gulf, where scientists could conduct their underwater research away from prying eyes. After years of genetic manipulation of a captive Architeuthus dux (giant squid), the Deep Six scientists cultivated a small squidlike creature capable of bestowing waterbreathing on a human subject. If the subject held the creature’s larvae in the mouth and allowed it to attach itself to the subject’s soft palate, the creature extracted breathable oxygen from the water for the subject, allowing them to function underwater. Although the experiments were promising, the researchers were unaware of another mutational effect: all those who underwent the process were now in metaconcert with each other and mind-linked to the host “parent”, which was now becoming overwhelmed with each new “voice” in its primitive brain. Enraged, the giant squid (nicknamed “The Sea-wraith”) broke loose from its captors and sent its mind-controlled thralls into the underwater research facility. Its minions forced the panicked scientists to join the hive-mind by dragging them into the seas, where they could either drown or accept one of the larva offspring, letting them live but as yet another mindless drone.

The forest does not have a permanent location, but instead slowly resolves throughout time in ancient groves as a spreading blight that acts as a gateway from the mortal world to the demesne of the chaos lords.

(Dungeon Crawl Classics #80: Intrigue at the Court of Chaos)If the PCs agree to serve Akhen-Am-Set, she teleports them to an underground desert tomb where they find blood-red clay sarcophagi, one for each PC and molded in their likenesses. The sarcophagi are perforated with thousands of small holes. The PCs lie in the sarcophagi and Akhen-Am-Set levitates the heavy lids into place. The PCs are not completely entombed as the perforations allow in light and air. But these holes are designed to admit something else: insects. The living mass at Akhen-Am-Set’s feet swarms into the sarcophagi and envelops the PCs. Hundreds of venomous insects administer stings that numb the PCs’ bodies and perceptions. The PCs’ deaths follow quickly, but they experience no sensation of it … (Dungeon Crawl Classics #80: Intrigue at the Court of Chaos)Akhen-Am-Set raises the PCs as “ento-morlocks” – insect-ghoul hybrids – which gives them advantages in the arena.

But Moira’s passion and fiery curses have proven stronger than Ratvik’s evil or madness; none of the charnel house’s dead can pass until Moira has been appeased. (Dungeon Crawl Classics #74: Blades Against Death)Similarly, though the ghost of Moira bars the gates of death, this does not mean that all deaths have ceased in Punjar. Only those that die in close relation to the charnel pits are kept from their eternal reward (or punishment).

(Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG)Ghost, Brandolyn Vintner: About 150 years ago, the elven artisan Lotrin Whitegrass, despite being betrothed to elven nobility, fell in love with the young, beautiful, and also-married human Brandolyn Vintner. Brandolyn, wife of the successful vigneron and wine maker Gage Vintner, attempted to keep the affair a secret but was eventually discovered by her husband. Enraged at her deception—and appalled at the thought of his wife coupling with an elf—Gage overpowered Brandolyn, and crushed her to death in his wine press. (Dungeon Crawl Classics Horror #1: They Served Brandolyn Red)The decades passed and Gage Vintner eventually died with his murderous secret intact, but forbidden love, murder, and treachery have a strange way of resurfacing, demanding their malfeasance not be forgotten. Over a century after his death, Gage’s crypt was violated by Samhain the Corpse Harvester, a semi-sentient subterranean parasite that burrows into coffins and crypts and agglutinates limbs from corpses to form its own mass. Disturbing Gage’s evil bones ignited a spiritual conflagration, tearing the ethereal fabric that separates the living and the dead. Gage’s spirit began manipulating Samhain to inflict more spiteful destruction, thereby awakening Brandolyn’s soul, somehow still trapped in the device where her life was snuffed out.

(Dungeon Crawl Classics #82: Bride of the Black Manse)Ghost, Lifthrasir the Enchantress: Lifthrasir the Enchantress, like most of her spellcastingilk, spent her life in the pursuit of power, pillaging forgotten ruins for ancient incantations and delving into forbidden vaults to pry grimoires from their previous owners’ long-dead hands. But unlike many of her brethren, Lifthrasir was driven by the urge to create rather than destroy, and pursued arcane lore so she might inscribe her legend in the annals of history. She dreamed of crafting an object of magical power that would persist after her death and carry her name down the long roads of history. (Dungeon Crawl Classics #85: The Making of the Ghost Ring)Unfortunately for Lifthrasir, dreams do not always come true and the required knowledge to create such an artifact long escaped her. As is wont to occur with wizards, her goal became a drive, and her drive became an obsession, leading her to take measures best avoided by rational beings. (Dungeon Crawl Classics #85: The Making of the Ghost Ring)Calling up a potent infernal power, Maalbrilmorg the Hell Smith, Lifthrasir bargained with the evil crafter to acquire the incantations she required. Lifthrasir was not completely overwhelmed by her obsession, however, and succeeded in inserting a loophole in her contract with the Hell Smith: If she accomplished her goal before a year and a day passed, Maalbrilmorg could lay no claim upon the sorceress. Unbeknownst to Lifthrasir—but known by the demon-smith who sensed the illness growing—Lifthrasir was dying, the victim of a subtle, but highly malignant magical cancer the sorceress had unwittingly acquired as spell corruption. Maalbrilmorg easily agreed to the condition, knowing the sickness would claim Lifthrasir before she could finish her task. (Dungeon Crawl Classics #85: The Making of the Ghost Ring)What Maalbrilmorg could not predict was Lifthrasir’s tenacity. The cancer killed the enchantress eleven months from the day of their agreement and the Hell Smith arrived to claim his due. The demon was nonplussed to discover Lifthrasir’s soul still determined to complete her work. Now lingering as a ghost, Lifthrasir cannot be reaped by Maalbrilmorg until the time limit of their bargain expires. (Dungeon Crawl Classics #85: The Making of the Ghost Ring)Lifthrasir’s dedication to the goal was so strong she persisted as a ghost after her death.

(Dungeon Crawl Classics #83: The Chained Coffin (Compiled 2nd Printing))When Wade Roane killed his wife, he concealed her body in this root cellar, walling up the corpse behind the old stone walls. Interred in this crude grave, Pansy’s ghost has been unable to rest and only the discovery of its body and subsequent burial in a churchyard will end its un-dead existence. (Dungeon Crawl Classics #83: The Chained Coffin (Compiled 2nd Printing))Back in my Granny’s time, there t’was a couple that ran the grist mill on Pigsaw Creek. They t’were Pansy and Wade Roane, happy a pair as you ken. Pansy t’was kindling a young ‘en, tis said, and ol’ Wade t’was happy as a hog in slop at the thought of being a proud poppa. But tragedy, as it t’will do here in the hills, well it paid a visit to ‘em. (Dungeon Crawl Classics #83: The Chained Coffin (Compiled 2nd Printing))The spring thaw swelled the creeks and rivers that year, and the Pigsaw overflowed its banks. Pansy t’was coming back to the mill from temple and it’s said she misstepped along the creek banks and fell into the swollen waters. No one saw Pansy go in, but they a’heard her screams all the way back in town. That t’was the last time anyone heard from Pansy… alive anyway. (Dungeon Crawl Classics #83: The Chained Coffin (Compiled 2nd Printing))Breath. Breath. At long last, I have breath to speak. Breath to tell my tale and utter the secrets my husband wished hidden. Breath to declare his shame and his blasphemy. Breath to warn the living of a horror that lurks among them unnoticed. (Dungeon Crawl Classics #83: The Chained Coffin (Compiled 2nd Printing))Wade was a petty man, a cowardly man. He concerned himself more with what strangers thought of his fortunes than what I, his own wife, did. When the mill began to fail, Wade grew frantic, fearful he’d be seen as a failure by the people of Holler Hollow. That is what doomed him … and me. (Dungeon Crawl Classics #83: The Chained Coffin (Compiled 2nd Printing))Something met with Wade in the old caves under our lands. A creature from another, older time. A thing that should have crawled, yet walked like a man. That creature promised Wade a fortune in return for unspeakable service. My craven husband agreed all too readily, sealing the fate of both his wife and unborn child. He murdered me at the behest of that creature and sealed my bones in the root cellar’s wall.

(Dungeon Crawl Classics #74: Blades Against Death)This is where Ratvik imprisoned the young fishwife, and where—his advances spurned—he burned her alive.

(Twisted Menagerie Manual)Easily recognized by their twitching, shuddering gait and the wires that protrude from their flesh, cyber ghouls are far from common un-dead. Unlike traditional un-dead which are fueled by dark necromantic energies from vile dimensions and unholy powers, cyber ghouls are more correctly the “un-living”. While their host bodies may be technically dead, stolen thoughts and electrical impulses keep their muscles moving and their thoughts coursing through diseased minds.

An aristocratic lord of his own faerie mound, Talla Aghmhor, or Happy Hall, indeed Reidmar’s personality was reflected in the name of his dwelling -- he was joyous, happy, and kind. (Angels, Daemons & Beings Between Volume 2: Elfland Edition)Legend claims that during one evening of feasting, Talla Aghmhor was called upon by a wandering troubadour. The faerie minstral must have had darkness in his heart to sing a melancholy tale of fey lovers killed by internecine rivalry. Reidmar was furious that such an unhappy tale was told in his Joyous Court. Courtiers openly wept and the psychic shock took a deep hold on Reidmar as well. (Angels, Daemons & Beings Between Volume 2: Elfland Edition)At that moment, the unending joy was somehow sundered in famed Talla Aghmhor. Some placed blame the undoing of Talla Aghmhor at the minstrel’s feet, suggesting that the act was malicious and planned by archrivals in the Unseelie Court. Others suggested that the happiness of the place flowed from its faerie king, Reidmar. Once his joyous reverie was broken, so too was Talla Aghmhor. (Angels, Daemons & Beings Between Volume 2: Elfland Edition)The next evening all of Talla Aghmhor attempted to continue on as before. Reidmar feigned happiness but in secret was tortured by the death of the faerie lovers in the minstrel’s tale. In private, he began consulting spirits and sages to discover what happens to faeries when they die. Conventional wisdom indicated that faeries join the Unseelie Court upon death. Other tales were far worse, only suggesting that the fey’s soul dissolves and everyone forgets that the departed ever existed. (Angels, Daemons & Beings Between Volume 2: Elfland Edition)This knowledge was too much for Reidmar. The possibility of turning to something so diametrically opposed to his own way of life gnawed at Reidmar’s fey soul. Unseelie faeries are cruel, evil and hateful. The alternate fate seemed even more excruciating - to be gone from all memory. (Angels, Daemons & Beings Between Volume 2: Elfland Edition)Later a sorcerer of no mean skill was a guest at Talla Aghmhor. Deep in his cups and having consumed faerie wine, the sorcerer lost all propriety and told of magic that would stave off death forever. Reidmar wrung the secrets from the sorcerer with wine and promises, and later on, threats and torture. (Angels, Daemons & Beings Between Volume 2: Elfland Edition)Armed with the arcane formulae, Reidmar set about to manifest its dark magicks at whatever the cost. It was all a success, but obtained at great cost. Reidmar has become everything he feared -- a withered skeletal faerie with rotting wings, glowing bones, clawed hands and black pits lit with evil energy where eyes used to be. He is now neither Seelie nor Unseelie. He exists as something altogether separate, his soul hidden away in a small iron chest. The absence of his soul renders him immune to the laws and traditions of the Faerie Courts. Death will not take him and the Faerie Courts fear him.

Beginning with ragtime musician Louis Chauvin, Rojo (who takes his current name from the next of his supplicants, Robert Johnson, whose rockin’ wraith form was destroyed at ground zero of the apocalypse) made Faustian pacts with musicians.

He cannot create more of either type than he has “raw materials” available regardless of the spell check (e.g., creating five skeletons when only three sets of bones are present).The un-dead remain animated and under the cleric’s control for an hour or more, depending on the spell check. When the spell duration ends, the un-dead collapse into the raw materials from which they were created.No cleric can control more than 4x his CL in Hit Dice of un-dead at any given time, but the cleric can “release” controlled un-dead to command other, possibly more powerful un-dead. Uncontrolled un-dead are likely to turn on their former master, however, so the cleric should be careful when releasing un-dead from his command.The player should reference the statistics of un-dead given later in this book for a sense of what can be created with this spell, but these should serve as guidelines not limitations. The typical humanoid corpse will produce a 1 HD skeleton or a 3 HD zombie. But there are more powerful skeletons to be created by using the bones of a giant. This work includes stats for the following un-dead, and of course a creative cleric may animate additional types of his own design: ghost (page 413), ghoul (page 416), mummy (page 422), shadow (page 425), skeleton (page 426), and zombie (page 431).Manifestation The air fills with the stench of corruption as the dead rise at the cleric’s touch.1-15 Failure.16 The cleric creates a single skeleton of up to 1 HD, provided the necessary raw materials are present. The skeleton remains animated for a full day.17 The cleric creates a single zombie or skeleton of up to 3 HD, provided the necessary raw materials are present. The un-dead remains animated for a full day.18-21 The cleric creates a number of skeletons or zombies (one or the other) equal to his CL in Hit Dice. For example, a level 5 cleric could create five skeletons (5 HD) or a single zombie (3 HD). If multiple corpses are available, the cleric must choose which type of un-dead he is creating; he cannot animate both skeletons and zombies with a single casting of the spell. Excess Hit Dice have no effect if they exceed the number of available corpses. The un-dead remain animated for a full week.22-23 The cleric creates a number of skeletons or zombies equal to 2x his CL in Hit Dice. For example, a level 5 cleric could create 10 skeletons (10 HD) or 3 zombies (9 HD). If multiple corpses are available, the cleric must choose which type of un-dead he is creating; he cannot animate both skeletons and zombies with a single casting of the spell. Excess Hit Dice have no effect if they exceed the number of available corpses. The un-dead remain animated for a full month.24-26 The cleric creates a number of skeletons or zombies equal to 2x his CL in Hit Dice. For example, a level 5 cleric could create 10 skeletons (10 HD) or 3 zombies (9 HD). If multiples types are available, the cleric can produce a mixture of un-dead provided their combined Hit Dice do not exceed 2x his CL or the number of available corpses. In the example above, the level 5 cleric could create three zombies (3 HD x 3 = 9 HD) and one skeleton (1 HD), or two zombies (3 HD x 2 = 6 HD) and four skeletons (1 HD x 4 = 4 HD). Excess Hit Dice have no effect if they exceed the number of available corpses. The un-dead remain animated for a full month.27-31 The cleric creates a number of more formidable skeletons and zombies equal to 3x his CL in Hit Dice. He can choose to animate the mortal remains of larger creatures, creating skeletons and zombies with above-average HD. For example, a 5th level cleric could animate the skeletal remains of a giant lizard (3 HD) to create a 3 HD skeleton, or revivify a dead ogre (4 HD) to make a 4 HD zombie. He cannot animate a single creature with more Hit Dice in life than 2x his CL. If multiple corpses are available, the cleric can produce a mixture of un-dead provided their combined HD do not exceed his CL or the number of available corpses. These advanced un-dead retain none of their special abilities or movement means they possessed in life (no flight, breath weapons, etc.). The judge can rule that certain monster-types (demons, laboratory-born monstrosities, etc.) are exempt from reanimation. The un-dead remain animated for a full year.32-33 The cleric creates a number of un-dead equal to 3x times his CL in Hit Dice. He may create any sort of unintelligent un-dead, provided the raw materials are available. This includes mummies, ghouls, ghosts, shadows, and other creatures, but excludes liches and vampires. He can also choose to animate the mortal remains of larger creatures, creating skeletons and zombies with above-average HD. For example, a 5th level cleric could animate the skeletal remains of a giant lizard (3 HD) to create a 3 HD skeleton, or revivify a dead ogre (4 HD) to make a 4 HD zombie. He cannot animate a single creature with more Hit Dice in life than 3x the cleric’s CL. If multiple corpses are available, the cleric can produce a mixture of un-dead provided their combined Hit Dice do not exceed three times his CL or the number of available corpses. Excess Hit Dice have no effect if they exceed the number of available corpses. The un-dead remain animated for a full year.34-35 The cleric creates a number of un-dead equal to 4x times his CL in Hit Dice. He may create any sort of unintelligent un-dead, provided the raw materials are available. This includes mummies, ghouls, ghosts, shadows, and other creatures, but excludes liches and vampires. He can also choose to animate the mortal remains of larger creatures, creating skeletons and zombies with above-average HD. For example, a 5th level cleric could animate the skeletal remains of a troll (8 HD) to create an 8 HD skeleton or revivify a dead dragon (15 HD) to make a 15 HD zombie. He cannot animate a single creature with more Hit Dice in life than 3x the cleric’s CL. These advanced un-dead retain none of their special abilities or movement means they possessed in life (no flight, breath weapons, etc.). The judge can rule that certain monster-types (demons, laboratory-born monstrosities, etc.) are exempt from reanimation. If multiple corpse types are available, the cleric can produce a mixture of un-dead provided their combined Hit Dice do not exceed three times his CL or the number of available corpses. Excess Hit Dice have no effect if they exceed the number of available corpses. The un-dead remain animated permanently until killed or released from control.36+ The cleric creates terrifying un-dead. He can animate any kind of un-dead, including intelligent undead such as liches and vampires, provided the raw materials are present and the correct rituals are performed. The created undead can be up to 4x his CL in Hit Dice. He can choose to animate the mortal remains of larger creatures, creating skeletons and zombies with above-average HD. If multiple corpse types are available, the cleric can produce a mixture of un-dead provided their combined Hit Dice do not exceed 4x his CL or the number of available corpses. In addition to their normal un-dead abilities and resistances, these animated dead can have strange traits. The character can pre-determine these traits with sufficient research, materials, and preparation, or the judge can roll to determine them randomly (e.g., refer to the table of special properties tables for skeletons on page 427). Animated dead of this type also retain special movement means at the judge’s discretion. For example, a zombie dragon could still fly on rotting wings, but a skeletal one lacking wing membranes could not. The un-dead remain animated permanently until killed or released from control.[/spoiler]<a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/268205/DCC-RPG-Annual?affiliate_id=17596" target="_blank">DCC RPG Annual</a>[spoiler]Un-Dead, Undead: Requiem of the Sundered Flesh spell.Zombie: ?Ghoul: ?Mummy: ?Ghost: ?Phantasm: ?Banshee: ?Shadow: ?Specter: ?Vampire: ?Crystalline Un-Dead: Crymstalla magic sword.REQUIEM OF THE SURRENDERED FLESHAt level 5 the cleric gains access to a complex chant whereby her body is transformed, temporarily or permanently, into undead flesh. The thousand names of the Crow Mistress are sung, and runes, sigils, and inscriptions appear on the failing flesh of the caster. While hideous and terrifying to behold, the results of this canticle provide the cleric with damage resistance and protection against turning and/or purifying magics. At the highest result, this canticle allows followers of Malotoch to rise as un-dead creatures, if killed. The results of the spell makes the cleric unsuitable for the company of most normal beings, who will react with fear and, potentially, violent hostility to her changed form. On a successful casting, the cleric or worshiper may choose to take a lower but potentially more desirable result from the table.Spell check Result1 Failure and worse! A misstep in the ritual has caused it to backfire. Roll 1d4: (1) take CL damage which cannot be healed except by natural healing; (2) the cleric’s flesh is so weakened that the next successful attack counts as a critical hit on the appropriate table; (3) the cleric’s flesh begins to rot and she will take 1d8+CL damage per day until a lay on hands from another worshiper of Malotoch results in 3 or more dice of healing; (4) the cleric’s flesh withers as she ages 1d10 years per caster level, and permanently loses 1d3 points of Strength, Agility, or Stamina, plus 1 additional point per 10 years aged (spread evenly across the attributes).2-19 Failure.20-21 The cleric’s flesh withers to mummy-like consistency for 1d10+CL turns. She need not eat or drink, and non-magical weapons do half damage to her. She also receives +2 to any saving throw against magical effects, or reduces the damage dice for magical damage from spells one step on the die chain (d8 becomes d7, d6 becomes d5, etc.).22-27 The cleric’s flesh begins to seethe with corruption. For the next CL hours, the cleric enjoys the following benefits: Any damaging attack only does half damage. She adds CL/2 (rounded down) additional HD beyond her own when determining results of turn unholy attempts made against her. Any normal human or demi-human attempting to approach her must make a DC 8+CL Fort save or be driven back retching with nausea from the reek of her rotting flesh.28-29 The cleric’s flesh begins to weep blood and corruption and her eyes blaze with unholy fires. For the next CL+6 hours, she may ignore damage from any attacks made with mundane weapons, and the damage dice for magical weapons or spells are reduced two steps on the die chain (d8 becomes d6, d6 becomes d4, etc.). She also gains a ranged gaze attack against anyone at whom she looks directly (even if only in reflection). The target must make a DC 10+CL Willpower save or flee in unreasoning fear, until a successful Willpower save is made.30+ The cleric’s body appears as normal except that it is covered in thousands of lines of tiny script, like a full-body tattoo the color of old blood. For the next CL+1 days, the cleric’s saving throws against magical attacks receive +CL bonus. Additionally, if she is slain, she will rise as an un-dead creature with a number hit points equal to normal, plus CL. The cleric acquires the normal un-dead traits (does not eat, drink, or breathe; is immune to critical hits, disease, and poison, as well as to the sleep, charm, and paralysis spells, other mental effects, and cold damage). The cleric also rolls critical hits on Crit Table U: Un-dead (see DCC RPG rulebook, p. 390).THE CRYMSTALLAThis short sword is made of living vermillion crystal from deep beneath Áereth. It glows with an unquenchable sanguine light equal to torchlight – even fully sheathed or wrapped, it gives off radiance equal to a candle.This sword has a brooding, alien intelligence which sprang into existence before the first fish crawled from the sea. A shard from a greater crystal-based mind, it was first fashioned into a weapon by ancient reptilian pre-humans, and has been a weapon in one form or another ever since.The Crymstalla is a +3 short sword, which increases the critical range of its wielder by 1 (i.e., a level 5 warrior armed with the Crymstalla rolls a critical hit on any successful attack of 17-20.) It is neutral, not caring about the eternal conflict between Law and Chaos.When a creature is reduced to 0 hit points by the weapon, it becomes infected by minute shards left in the wounds (unless its body is completely destroyed by fire, acid, or magic). These shards grow at an astounding rate, converting the creature to crystalline un-dead over a period of 2d3 days. The creature then pursues its slayer with unceasing bloodlust. When the sword’s owner is killed, all existing crystalline un-dead are reduced into fine crimson powder within the next 1d5 rounds.Crystalline un-dead use the same statistics as their base creature, with the following changes:• AC is increased by +3.• Hit Dice become d12s, with hit points rerolled.• All physical damage (bite, claw, etc.) is increased by +1d on the dice chain.• Gain un-dead immunities, but can be turned by lawful and neutral clerics.• Cannot be harmed by the Crymstalla.• Retain special abilities of the base creature on a case-by-case basis, as determined by the judge. Physical abilities are retained, while supernatural ones may or may not be.[/spoiler]<a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/129075/Dungeon-Crawl-Classics-665-Doom-of-the-Savage-King?affiliate_id=17596" target="_blank">Dungeon Crawl Classics #66.5 Doom of the Savage Kings</a>[spoiler]Tomb Ghoul: Any human that dies within the Tomb of Ulfheonar is cursed to rise as a tomb ghoul within 2d14 rounds.The tomb ghouls are animated by the spirit of the serpent mound and cannot leave the mound.The foul bite of a ghoul serpent inflicts necrosis; a victim must succeed on a DC 5 Fort save or take an additional 1 hp per hour as the dying flesh rapidly rots. The necrosis continues until the original wound is magically healed or the target dies (rising as a tomb ghoul upon the following dusk).Ghoul Serpent: The ghouls seem to shift about in their gray, lifeless skins. Indeed, the once-human form is merely a husk. Each ghoul is in process of molting into its true form. Damaging the ghoul speeds this process along, shearing away the ghoul’s skin, arms, legs, and head, revealing a large humanoid-headed snake hidden within the ghoul’s belly.“Slaying” the ghoul frees the molting serpent.

The caster can choose to animate the mortal remains of larger creatures, creating skeletons and zombies with above-average HD. For example, the caster can revivify a dead ogre (4 HD) to make a 4 HD zombie. The effected un-dead must be of 10 HD or less. If the caster is controlling his or her maximum number of un-dead, a number of skeletons and zombies equal to the excess HD rise from the earth and attack the nearest living creature.34-35 The caster creates 1d12x CL in total hit dice of un-dead creatures provided there is a sufficient quantity of corpses, or dominates the same number of existing un-dead creatures within 200’.

Anyone meddling in their domain attracts the spirits who reanimate their desiccated remains.Pansy Roane, Ghost: In time, the serpent-men’s demands grew and ultimately Pansy and her unborn child paid the price for Wade’s pride and avarice.When Wade Roane killed his wife, he concealed her body in this root cellar, walling up the corpse behind the old stone walls. Interred in this crude grave, Pansy’s ghost has been unable to rest and only the discovery of its body and subsequent burial in a churchyard will end its un-dead existence.Back in my Granny’s time, there t’was a couple that ran the grist mill on Pigsaw Creek.

Pansy t’was coming back to the mill from temple and it’s said she misstepped along the creek banks and fell into the swollen waters. No one saw Pansy go in, but they a’heard her screams all the way back in town. That t’was the last time anyone heard from Pansy … alive anyway.Breath. Breath. At long last, I have breath to speak. Breath to tell my tale and utter the secrets my husband wished hidden. Breath to declare his shame and his blasphemy. Breath to warn the living of a horror that lurks among them unnoticed.Wade was a petty man, a cowardly man. He concerned himself more with what strangers thought of his fortunes than what I, his own wife, did. When the mill began to fail, Wade grew frantic, fearful he’d be seen as a failure by the people of Holler Hollow. That is what doomed him … and me.Something met with Wade in the old caves under our lands. A creature from another, older time. A thing that should have crawled, yet walked like a man. That creature promised Wade a fortune in return for unspeakable service. My craven husband agreed all too readily, sealing the fate of both his wife and unborn child. He murdered me at the behest of that creature and sealed my bones in the root cellar’s wall.Soul Owl: These owls are soul fragments of Shange’s victims, trapped between life and death by the mixed power of the blooddrinker’s curse and the lingering magic of the spoil in area 1-9.Zugun: Although triumphant, Boak paid a heavy toll for his victory. The mighty forces unleashed during the battle destroyed the site, foiling Boak’s transformation. Furious at being thwarted yet again (albeit indirectly) by Justicia, Boak enacted a horrific revenge on Zugun. Boak imprisoned the cleric in a coffin of orichalcum and bound the casket with chains of adamantine. The coffin, empowered by Chaos, preserved the dying cleric in a state that was not life, death or un-death, but a weird mixture of all three.“Once a man, but now I do not know. I should have died long ago, but this coffin is now my prison and my preserver. I hope that I’m whatever goodness remains of a man, once his mortal clay is no more.”Ox-Headed Barrow Bones: ?Human/Serpent Hybrid Barrow Bones: ?Squire Grady, Lingering Spirit: This cabin was the home of Squire Grady, a stubborn Shudfolk farmer who, despite the warnings of others, laid claim to a cursed plot of land in the Deep Hollows.

But unlike many of her brethren, Lifthrasir was driven by the urge to create rather than destroy, and pursued arcane lore so she might inscribe her legend in the annals of history. She dreamed of crafting an object of magical power that would persist after her death and carry her name down the long roads of history.Unfortunately for Lifthrasir, dreams do not always come true and the required knowledge to create such an artifact long escaped her. As is wont to occur with wizards, her goal became a drive, and her drive became an obsession, leading her to take measures best avoided by rational beings.Calling up a potent infernal power, Maalbrilmorg the Hell Smith, Lifthrasir bargained with the evil crafter to acquire the incantations she required. Lifthrasir was not completely overwhelmed by her obsession, however, and succeeded in inserting a loophole in her contract with the Hell Smith: If she accomplished her goal before a year and a day passed, Maalbrilmorg could lay no claim upon the sorceress. Unbeknownst to Lifthrasir—but known by the demon-smith who sensed the illness growing—Lifthrasir was dying, the victim of a subtle, but highly malignant magical cancer the sorceress had unwittingly acquired as spell corruption. Maalbrilmorg easily agreed to the condition, knowing the sickness would claim Lifthrasir before she could finish her task.What Maalbrilmorg could not predict was Lifthrasir’s tenacity. The cancer killed the enchantress eleven months from the day of their agreement and the Hell Smith arrived to claim his due. The demon was nonplussed to discover Lifthrasir’s soul still determined to complete her work. Now lingering as a ghost, Lifthrasir cannot be reaped by Maalbrilmorg until the time limit of their bargain expires.Lifthrasir’s dedication to the goal was so strong she persisted as a ghost after her death.Bronze-Handed Pharaoh: The last scene shows the Pharaoh being mummified and interred.

An aristocratic lord of his own faerie mound, Talla Aghmhor, or Happy Hall, indeed Reidmar’s personality was reflected in the name of his dwelling -- he was joyous, happy, and kind.Legend claims that during one evening of feasting, Talla Aghmhor was called upon by a wandering troubadour. The faerie minstral must have had darkness in his heart to sing a melancholy tale of fey lovers killed by internecine rivalry. Reidmar was furious that such an unhappy tale was told in his Joyous Court. Courtiers openly wept and the psychic shock took a deep hold on Reidmar as well.At that moment, the unending joy was somehow sundered in famed Talla Aghmhor. Some placed blame the undoing of Talla Aghmhor at the minstrel’s feet, suggesting that the act was malicious and planned by archrivals in the Unseelie Court. Others suggested that the happiness of the place flowed from its faerie king, Reidmar. Once his joyous reverie was broken, so too was Talla Aghmhor.The next evening all of Talla Aghmhor attempted to continue on as before. Reidmar feigned happiness but in secret was tortured by the death of the faerie lovers in the minstrel’s tale. In private, he began consulting spirits and sages to discover what happens to faeries when they die. Conventional wisdom indicated that faeries join the Unseelie Court upon death. Other tales were far worse, only suggesting that the fey’s soul dissolves and everyone forgets that the departed ever existed.This knowledge was too much for Reidmar. The possibility of turning to something so diametrically opposed to his own way of life gnawed at Reidmar’s fey soul. Unseelie faeries are cruel, evil and hateful. The alternate fate seemed even more excruciating - to be gone from all memory.Later a sorcerer of no mean skill was a guest at Talla Aghmhor. Deep in his cups and having consumed faerie wine, the sorcerer lost all propriety and told of magic that would stave off death forever. Reidmar wrung the secrets from the sorcerer with wine and promises, and later on, threats and torture.Armed with the arcane formulae, Reidmar set about to manifest its dark magicks at whatever the cost. It was all a success, but obtained at great cost. Reidmar has become everything he feared -- a withered skeletal faerie with rotting wings, glowing bones, clawed hands and black pits lit with evil energy where eyes used to be. He is now neither Seelie nor Unseelie. He exists as something altogether separate, his soul hidden away in a small iron chest. The absence of his soul renders him immune to the laws and traditions of the Faerie Courts. Death will not take him and the Faerie Courts fear him.Lich: ?Vampire: ?Mummy: ?Ghost: ?[/spoiler]<a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/279673/Book-of-Scarlet-Abomination?affiliate_id=17596" target="_blank">Book of Scarlet Abomination</a>[spoiler]Undead: Calling the Scarlet Chaos from the Queen’s Doom spell.Giant Undead Fate Raven: ?Abysspawn: Undead spirits of uncertain but ghastly origin given animation, sentience, and ghostly purpose by the Red Queen.Calling the Scarlet Chaos from the Queen’s DoomLevel 3 Range: Conversational (Self to 60”)Duration: VariableCasting time: 1 round Save: Spell check DC or NoneGeneral: Caster is calling the essence of the Queen’s Doom, bringing Tamarah’s plane into limited but direct contact with the world. Dangerous.Manifestation: 1. Caster reaches a single perfect pitch note and the air shimmers and warbles before disgorging its fell contents. 2. The character’s features become flush with colour – depending this could be as simple as a blush to a temporary reddening of the skin, hair, and eyes though taking on an actual foreign hue with increasing success 3. The invoker ritually – and literally – cuts a jagged hole in any surface, or in the air and the spell effect pours out like a bloody wound.1 Lost, failure, and Patron taint!2-11 Failure. Depending on the results of the Patron bond, the caster may or may not beable to cast it again.12-15 Revealing Swarm – Summons (at pressure) a small jet of scurrying weird mutant living creatures from one of the planes of the Queen’s Doom; they immediately clear away debris, reveal secret doors or concealed things, and will locate any one thing desired by the caster, if so instructed. Adds ten to relevant perception tests. Lasts no more than 60 seconds.Otherwise, the Red Queen is too busy for the likes of you. For the next d5 rounds, natural creatures (mundane animals) will be (roll a d6; even = drawn to you odd = frightened by something out of race instinct and display threat behavior. They will attack if the character approaches but will otherwise avoid. However for the duration you will save v. fear and fear effects/attacks at +2.14-15 Grasping arms of the Hungry Pit - opens an small irregular channel allowing abyssal energies into the world – Tamarah hears your pleas for aid and lends several arms; 1d4+1extremities; a combination of arms, tentacles, and less recognizable grasping appendages erupting out of any near drain, pit, hole, or similar defect from abyssal space; they will set about attacking (at +4) and immobilizing/entangling (spellcheck DC Ref to avoid or escape, check once/round) up to four of the caster’s enemies for the next CL+1 rounds.16-17 21 Tamarah reminds her followers that, in the end, there is no problem that cannot be overcome by consumption; q.v. by eating the problem itself.The caster’s jaw visibly distorts and distends, and the whole of their face seems to take on a monstrous yet painful aspect. The caster’s mouth has now become a form of gate, a Hell gullet to the Queen’s Doom. Anything that is slain and so devoured by this mouth has its soul sucked out and devoured by the Red Queen.Each round the Hell gullet can chomp down on a target with mighty force, this is a bite attack that strikes at +3 and inflicts 2d16+STR+CL with each sharp tearing bite.18-21 Invocation of the Hungry Pit - opens an irregular but generally circular hole in a surface within 1d3x8” of the caster; to all appearances a pit but anything thrown in will be as though thrown into the jaws of a great multiplanar beast (as 20-21 above). After d3 rounds, from this terrible obscene mouth rises the ‘Pillar of the Consumed’, a great proboscis-like tongue. The Consumed - A semi digested mass of bodies and souls of Tamarah’s (former) enemies - kept a semi molten composite of shifting desperate arms, hands and mouths, reaching and shifting, and takes its existential rage on anything within its 16” reach burning with pain and cold. It strikes with 1d24 action die inflicting 2d6 hp damage and 1d4 stamina drain with a successful strike.When the duration expires there is a 1 in 20 chance that the Pit once summoned, will wander off, a permanent portal to somewhere in the Red Queendoom.22-23 Reaching into the Spawning Pits - opens a portal to the least plane of the RedQueendoom, where her countless thousands of abandoned children writhe in scenteddarkness.This momentary portal exists to allow 1d6 tamlyngs to flee into the world of the caster, appearing at the end of the round. They will be compelled to fight the focus of the invoker’s ire for 1d3 rounds before they are distracted by something shiny like their freedom.24-26 A vast and spectacular demonic blood rose appears anywhere in the caster’simmediate line of sight, erupting from the ground or another surface, immediately opening, unfurling it’s pollenating tendrils to puff orange smoke in a 20” radius/caster level centered on the flower. Everything inside that is living will suffer a loss of 1d6 Pers and become very susceptible to suggestion -1 to will saves but this susceptibility is triple strength with regard to the caster who are especially weak willed toward them and save at minus 3; further for 1d6 minutes those affected will not be disposed toward violence toward the caster at all unless provoked. 1d3 rounds after it manifests, the rose will disgorge one of the following.a) Swarm of bats, b) 1d3 killer bees, c) a pair of Red Wasps, d) A tangle of two headed snakes27-31 Tamarah cannot be bothered with your petty nonsense … but as she values you for some inexplicable reason of her own, she sends you Starbow. Starbow (pp. 50-51) can ferry passengers literally anywhere in the omniverse, in as much or as little time as she wishes.Starbow can, per her half-demonic nature, move through the phenomenal universe at thespeed of light, to the benefit (and terror!) of those astride her. Starbow is immune to attacks from light, attempts to bend time or space, and suffers no ill effects from either radiation or cosmic energy. Note that the steed may deposit the invoker anywhere that it’s whim, and the whims of its mistress, regardless of any stated or given request. The creature has many other capabilities but likely the caster will not be able to make use of them save as it pleases Tamarah.32-33 It is said that Tamarah’s laughter causes violence. Tamarah manifest through the invoker with the lilting high laughter of an amused demon. For the next 2d6+CL rounds, everything within hearing range is inspired to pick a target and go to town, striking at +4 to hit with their best weapon or most powerful attack. Further, threat range for all critical hits is doubled and all criticals occur at +6 on the roll for the duration. Finally, a single target chosen by the caster experiences the sudden growth of thorns of bone , rapidly growing within the target’s chest and lungs, inflicting 1d4 hp damage initially; for each subsequent round, the target takes 1d6 damage and is depleted a point each of Agility and Stamina as their breathing becomes a bloody mess.34-35 The sky above shimmers and seemingly turns to liquid as you bring a small fraction of her plane to yours. For 5d12 rounds, the luminescent churning multispectral liquid sky from several of the planes of the Red Queen’s Doom pours forth into the skies above, polluting the natural world with its foul essence and overwhelming possibilities.2 in 5 Chance of (d5) 1. Hot hail 2. Black lightning 3. Ghost winds 4. Rain of hot multicolored mud balls, covering the landscape in the aftermath of a Play-Doh fight 5. Phantom fog that will throw d3 illusions at each party member journeying through itMeanwhile, the Horned Queen’s Hunting Party (comprised of 1d8 Abysspawn 1d6 vapour dogs and 1d12 hunger dogs and 2d6 tamlyngs) comes charging out of this chaotic miasma to kill or capture the invoker’s enemies … and anyone else that gets in their way. The tamlyngs may however flee immediately.36+ Having attracted a considerable degree of her attention, Tamarah momentarily sends a minor aspect of herself to possess the caster, lending a fraction of her power, influence, and sense of authority to the invoker who uses it to persuade, control, or influence those around them. The spell represents a tiny fraction of Tamarah’s attention as it is loaned to her most especial followers for d5 (modified by Personality) hours.For that duration, the caster gains / recovers 2d6 additional hit points, and recovers up to 1d4 spellburn or ability drain from Personality, Strength, or Intelligence (each). The caster is at +2 to hit, damage, and saving throws for the duration. Further, the shimmering, vertiginous aura nauseates all living creatures within a 5’ radius of the caster that fail a will save, who suffer -1 to action die rolls for the duration and up to d3 rounds thereafter.At this point, 0 levels have no choice but to obey the caster. The effect persists for d5 weeks plus 1 per caster level; Caster gains a minor corruption and during this time, paladins, witch hunters, lawful clerics, and others concerned for the world around them may come for the character. For the duration, any who attempt to defy the caster’s wishes must succeed on a Will save, DC = to the Spell check result.Further, 5d24 days after this invocation, Tamarah herself will visit the caster in dreams and offer them a sip of RED. She will appear in the guise of the Chalice Goat; the goat will kneel that one may drink of the cup (taking the form of a bowl shaped defect in its skull) and thus drink directly from her mind. Up to (level) may partake including the caster. Those who do will receive 1d4 points of floating attribute recovery (the caster receives 1d6+pers mod), heal 2d5+pers mod HP, and experience a moment of demonic ‘enlightenment” which occurs at +30 on the roll. Results must be applied immediately. The invoker’s alignment becomes chaotic and they detect as Demonic to spells and abilities that detect and affect such. They have for all intents and purposes fallen.Finally, should the caster die during this spell’s duration - the deceased invoker rises as an NPC after a number of nights determined by their action die; They rise at night with full hit points and geased to annihilate without delay those who slew them. The deceased is treated as undead for the duration and functionally indestructible until banished by high level magic, or it runs out of enemies on its list. At which point the vengeance seeker will be torn apart by red and crimson flames as their body and soul are reduced to howling madness and claimed by Tamarah herself, forever damned.[/spoiler]<a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/290844/Dead-In-The-Water-MCC-RPG?affiliate_id=17596" target="_blank">Dead In The Water (MCC RPG)</a>[spoiler]Drenched: During the Times of the Ancients, mutations were nonexistent (or at most, rare), and thus many experiments were performed to try to alter and improve humanity’s genome. One such experiment was Operation Deep Six, an attempt to biologically introduce the ability to breathe underwater. The secret experimental laboratory was disguised as a nondescript oil-drilling derrick located in the gulf, where scientists could conduct their underwater research away from prying eyes. After years of genetic manipulation of a captive Architeuthus dux (giant squid), the Deep Six scientists cultivated a small squidlike creature capable of bestowing waterbreathing on a human subject. If the subject held the creature’s larvae in the mouth and allowed it to attach itself to the subject’s soft palate, the creature extracted breathable oxygen from the water for the subject, allowing them to function underwater. Although the experiments were promising, the researchers were unaware of another mutational effect: all those who underwent the process were now in metaconcert with each other and mind-linked to the host “parent”, which was now becoming overwhelmed with each new “voice” in its primitive brain. Enraged, the giant squid (nicknamed “The Sea-wraith”) broke loose from its captors and sent its mind-controlled thralls into the underwater research facility. Its minions forced the panicked scientists to join the hive-mind by dragging them into the seas, where they could either drown or accept one of the larva offspring, letting them live but as yet another mindless drone.[/spoiler]<a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/260952/Foe-Folio-for-Dungeon-Crawl-Classics?affiliate_id=17596" target="_blank">Foe Folio</a>[spoiler]Phagent: Phagents worshipped Pestilence in life and now serve her in death by spreading death and disease.If a creature’s Stamina is reduced to 0 by a phagent, they become a phagent in 2d6 turns.

Eventually the victim will succumb to the toxic effects of the powder and rise as an undead zombie, forever under control of the necromancer.Zombie PowderFacious creates this powder from the minced liver of the black-nosed fox, the eyes of a bloated toad, flesh of the rainbow puffer fish, various unsavory plants, and the brains of a recently buried child. The powder must be inhaled by the victim in order to corrupt their mind and rob them of their sense of self. When inhaled the victim must make a Fortitude save: 1 or less HD = no save allowed; 2-4 HD = DC 16; 5+ HD = DC 12. A successful save means the target takes 1d6 damage and suffers from a fit of violent coughs for 2d3 rounds (they cannot take any other action those rounds). Failure means that the victim falls unconscious and is in the grips of a terrible fever. The next day the target loses 1d3 points of Intelligence and will obediently serve the person who used the powder on them. The living zombie can only understand explicit and simple instructions however, such as “guard this door”, “dig a ditch”, “kill your family”, etc. When not ordered to do an activity they stare blankly, drooling slightly. Each day the target must make a successful Willpower save (DC determined by HD as listed above), failure means that the target loses an additional 1d3 points of Intelligence and comes closer to true undeath. If the target reaches zero Intelligence they fall dead from the fever and rise in 1d4 days as a zombie, utterly faithful to the person who poisoned him. If the target makes a successful save they shake off the effects and return to normal and will regain lost Intelligence at a rate of 1 point per full day of bed rest. However they are more susceptible to the powers of Zombie Powder and roll all further saves against it one step lower on the die ladder.Brew Potion (DCC, pg 223) DC 27 to create this potion.[/spoiler]<a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/102457/Perils-of-the-Sunken-City-DCC-RPG?affiliate_id=17596" target="_blank">Perils of the Sunken City (DCC RPG)</a>[spoiler]Ghost: ?Chain Skeleton: Revenge is the only force that motivates the spirits of these dead slaves.[/spoiler]<a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/132050/The-Headless-Horseman?affiliate_id=17596" target="_blank">The Headless Horseman</a>[spoiler]Headless Horseman: A hag of an evil coven had responded to the dying curse.

In the dead of night, they were ground to paste and scraped beneath the wheels of the Trailer Park Trash. The patriarch of the family, Hill Urnheart, gathered the souls of his family and forged them together into a powerful autogeist, and vowed to draw others to its cause.Autogiest: The spirits of those slain by the Restless Dead linger until enough are drawn together to form a new autogeist. So long as one member of the gang exists, the gang will always, slowly and inexorably, return.Wraith Rider: With only a few notable exceptions, wraith rider gangs are normally made up of the members of gangs snuffed out in a singular bout of carnage. These gangs continue to wear the colors of their former selves as they seek to carry out whatever unfinished task it is that keeps them from rest. This need not always be vengeance, there was an instance of a wraith rider gang simply attempting to complete a “poker run” to raise funds to help a member who had lost his wheels—now riding the wastes until such time as they have a worthy ride to bring to the sole surviving member of their former gang.Ghost: ?Phantasmal Semi, Ghost Truck: ?Robo-lich: ?Astroliche: ?Wight: ?Haunt: ?Rail Wraith: ?Silver Zombie: ?[/spoiler]<a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/243420/Twisted-Menagerie-Manual-DCC?affiliate_id=17596" target="_blank">Twisted Menagerie Manual</a>[spoiler]Autogiest: Deep in the wastelands lie a multitude of corpses wrapped in rusting caskets of twisted chrome and faux-leather upholstery. From these mass graves of crushed hopes and unquenched road rage rises a horror that all wastelanders fear, the dread autogiest.The fiend is a conglomerate spirit of those who have died in violent car wrecks that have joined together to punish the living. By itself, the autogiest is a shapeless, glowing red mist that drifts against the wind. It cannot be harmed by mundane means or interact with anything in this form. Once it finds a suitable vehicle to inhabit, usually one of Keeper quality or better, its reign of terror as an unholy juggernaut begins.Keeper Large Car Autogiest: ?Minion Vehicle: Autogeist Animate Minions power.Blast Shade: Often mistaken for harmless “nuclear shadows” from the Great Cataclysm when holding still, these angry spirits are born from unfulfilled desires shattered by an early death at the hands of an atomic level explosion. The embittered soul reanimates the scorched shadow remnants of their body to torment those who are still alive.Corpsenado: ?Cryo-Lurker: The ancient practice of cryogenics left untold numbers of individuals (or their heads) encapsulated and frozen. Some were soldiers kept on ice for times of war, others were travelers whose journey ended in the lost luggage bin, and there were those sleeping until the promise of a new future to revive them. That future never came, but the incursions from the plane of Eternal Unrest have reanimated their frozen and mutated forms, fulfilling their desires by way of un-death.Cryo-Lurker Brute: ?Cryo-Lurker Buckethead: Unable to afford the full cryogenic treatment, the buckethead was still a very determined person in their past life. Their determination and force of will is what keeps them going, even now. A severed head carried in a receptacle (often merely a steel bucket) the buckethead is far from defenseless.Cryo-Lurker Cryoslime: When the physical form of the cryogenically frozen cannot stand the strains of the change, it collapses into a 10’x10’ puddle of frozen, malevolent ooze.Cryo-Lurker Frost-Burned: ?Cyber Ghoul: After the great Search Engine War, the victorious search algorithm sent its web crawlers out to explore the last great frontier, the living brain. As the crawlers entered human minds and drained them of information, the search engine learned to keep the host bodies alive, fueling them by feeding off of other living targets – incidentally allowing the algorithm to spread.Easily recognized by their twitching, shuddering gait and the wires that protrude from their flesh, cyber ghouls are far from common un-dead. Unlike traditional un-dead which are fueled by dark necromantic energies from vile dimensions and unholy powers, cyber ghouls are more correctly the “un-living”. While their host bodies may be technically dead, stolen thoughts and electrical impulses keep their muscles moving and their thoughts coursing through diseased minds.Any intelligent creature may be transformed by the cyber ghouls and instances of larger ghouls of up to 10d5 HD are known to exist.As part of their bite attack, cyber ghouls pull the memories from their victims. Each bite permanently drains 1 point of Intelligence and for every 5 points of lost Intelligence the victim also loses 1 level of experience. Victims drained to 0 Intelligence or below 0-level are infected with the World Crawler AI and transform into cyber ghouls.Power Wight: Created using the secrets of both golemcrafting and necromancy, these creatures are always planned works fashioned in a lab and never spontaneously occur. They are grizzly masterpieces formed from the finest parts of various corpses and incorporate advanced NecroTech devices within their bodies.Lesser Power Wight: ?Greater Power Wight: ?Un-Dead: As they have an innate understanding of the nature of un-dead and NecroTech, greater power wights can create 1d3 HD worth of unintelligent corporeal un-dead every week, given the proper materials and lab space.Robo-Lich: Reputedly crafted from deceased magic users, a robo-lich is a grizzly fusion of corpse and robot. They appear to be highly cybernetically augmented, semi-skeletal cadavers cut off at the waist and grafted onto tank tread platforms they use to move about. The lower left arm is replaced with a small plasma cannon and the right with a wicked looking robotic combat claw.Rockin' Wraith: Throughout time, there has been a select club, the membership of which all were tragically struck down in their 27th year. For hundreds of years, the organization was thought to be mere legend, but modern day Umerica has learned that this is no legend and the “27 Club”, as it is known, is real. So too is its un-dead membership.The members of the 27 Club obey their founder; an un-dead blues musician who is rumored to have made a deal with the devil, presides over them.Long before the apocalypse, before there was even a written history of humankind and their mythologies, there was the being now known as Rojo. A demon of great power and guile, he first appeared in the public zeitgeist during the early days of recording when several bluesmen made deals with him at the crossroads, not for fame or wealth, but for talent. Beginning with ragtime musician Louis Chauvin, Rojo (who takes his current name from the next of his supplicants, Robert Johnson, whose rockin’ wraith form was destroyed at ground zero of the apocalypse) made Faustian pacts with musicians. The deals have always been the same, instrumental mastery and a heightened gift of musical expression in return for claiming their souls at the ripe old age of 27. Rojo’s “27 Club”, filled with un-dead musicians – rockin’ wraiths – roam the Urth in order to aid him in the gathering of more souls.Rojo's Demonic Deal power.Wraith Rider: Animated by an unknown, rage-filled spirit from the plane of Eternal Unrest wraith riders seek vengeance on the roadways of Umerica. Humans suffering a traumatic violent death, in rare cases, may rise again as a wraith rider.The wraith rider was killed by a road gang while trying to make a delivery.The love of the un-dead was murdered, and the wraith rider is filled with an unquenchable rage.Double-crossed on a mission for the Three Royals and killed for knowing too much, this rider travels the roads towards the Citadel of Scrap for vengeance.The vengeful spirit is that of a slain parent, slain while protecting their child.The wraith rider was a local misfit who was killed by the local community for a crime they did not commit.Driven off the highway during a road race, the wraith rider seeks to find and slay the driver responsible.The wraith rider was murdered, and his vehicle stolen.The wraith rider was killed by a member of the party and now seeks revenge for his death.Once the guardian of a cache of precious materials, the wraith rider was murdered during the theft of its charge.The wraith rider has fulfilled its quest for vengeance but it still has a final task to complete, visiting thegrave of a dead family member in hopes of achieving final peace.Wrath: ?Xeno-Mummy: Aliens from beyond the grave stalk the nights of Umerica. Their corpses animated by unknown energies within their wrappings, xeno mummies are puppeteered by their funerary dressings in an effort to collect the energies required to maintain their preservation fields.The humanoid shapes of this long dead alien species are preserved within strange mylar-ic wrappings. Covered from oblong head to pointed toe in alien glyphs and scrawls, these creatures give off a faint, blue luminescence visible at 20 feet. Whatever strange funerary rites these aliens undergo leaves their blackened, husk-like faces exposed to the air and their shark-like mouths hanging open (when not actively tearing the flesh of a victim).Zombie: Corpsenado's Spawn Zombies power.Anyone that dies within a corpsenado's funnel will raise as a zombie within 1d4 rounds.Blink Zombie: Corpsenado's Spawn Zombies power.Chrono Zombie: Anyone who dies of the aging effects of a chrono zombie will raise as one in 1d5-1 (0-4) hours.Corpsenado's Spawn Zombies power.Melting Zombie: Corpsenado's Spawn Zombies power.Petrol Zombie: Corpsenado's Spawn Zombies power.Rave Zombie: These crazed un-dead can spontaneously raise from the corpses of Technos Discos followers (usually in groups of three or more) or can be created by necromancers that have learned to raise the dead with enchanted music. It is unknown if this necromantic raising process taps into the power of the Terrible Bringer of Beats or another, more vile, source of horrifying melodic energy.Corpsenado's Spawn Zombies power.Silver Zombie: Animated by rogue nanites originally intended for medical purposes, these zombies tend to have a metallic tinge to their rotting flesh.Anyone injured by a nano zombie must roll under their Luck after the encounter or they have been infected. This will have no immediate effect but when they ever reach 0 or less hit points, they will definitely die and raise as a nano zombie shortly after.Corpsenado's Spawn Zombies power.Zombie Monk of the Cyberhive: Zombie monks are humanoid corpses that have been cybernetically resurrected to serve the Earth Brain of the Cyberhive.Any slain foes will be collected by a robo-lich for techno-reanimation as zombie monks.Given 24 hours a robo-lich can convert a humanoid corpse into a fully functional zombie monk. This process installs a new personality into the remnants of the corpse’s brain so any previous knowledge or personality is erased.Carl Aug M.D., Greater Power Wight: ?GAWBYCAID Within Host Cyber Ghoul: ?Greater Power Wight Nurse: ?Lesser Power Wight Janitor: ?Animate minions: for up to one hour per day, it can animate up to 1.5x its HD in other vehicles that will mindlessly serve their new master. Minion vehicles will have 1d14 action dice and are treated as un-dead.Spawn zombies: During combat the corpsenado can, as an action, fling zombies out to a range of 150 feet. These zombies take no appreciable damage from being thrown and are able to attack at the end of the round that they were spawned. There is no limit to the number of zombies a corpsenado can spawn. To determine the number and type of zombies cast from the hellish whirlwind roll 1d7: 1) 2d4 zombies (as per DCC RPG); 2) 3d3 petrol zombies; 3) 2d5 rave zombies; 4) 1d4 melting zombies; 5) 2d3 blink zombies; 6) 1d3 silver zombies; or 7) 2 chrono zombies.Demonic deal: If someone with a sincere desire to create music for the ages summons him to the crossroads, Rojo will offer them his standard deal; granting unparalleled musical gifts for their soul - as a rockin’ wraith sometime during their 27th year. He will not deviate from this contract, knowing that those who care only about the music and not fame or other mortal trappings will accept the deal. Should the deal be agreed to, an ancient white lighter will appear in the pocket of the musician (or, if unclothed, among their belongings) at their time of death. The effect of such 'musical' mastery is left to the judge.[/spoiler]<a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/223270/Umerican-Survival-Guide-Delve-cover-DCC?affiliate_id=17596" target="_blank">Umerican Survival Guide, Delve cover (DCC)</a>[spoiler]Zombie Monk, Lay Ghoul: The Cyberhive is an intergalactic AI that inhabits multiple giant puedo-brains located all over the universe.

Use of the wand requires a successful classic intelligence check of a 5th level or higher Wizard, or DC15 Thief “Use Scroll” to activate each round. Failure to activate the wand renders it inoperable for 1d9 days, and a critical fumble destroys the wand – causing a phlogiston disturbance (caster is forced to cast a spell vs. a spell on chart below, Judge rolls for wand’s Spell check+CL7+5) then explodes for 5d7 points of damage creating a rip in space time.

This spell is as much a defense mechanism for the wizard's spell book as it is an actual spell that the wizard can cast. If casting as a wizard, for all results below 12 the spell fails and is lost for the day, but otherwise they suffer none of the listed effects. Thieves may cast this spell using a d16 but must burn 1 point of Luck PERMANENTLY - yes, you may never recover it, ever!The caster attempts to summon forth a hideous necromantic warrior from the piles of bones of long-dead creatures. Alas, even failure has its price!Manifestation The bones of long-dead friends, foes or others come together with the screeching sound of unreleased voices silenced in violent combat, knitting themselves together in stop-motion and exhibiting the general shape of the bones' previous form, albeit crudely pasted together (for example, a skeletal heap conjured from ape-man bones might have long arms where its legs should be and short, squat legs growing from it's back or head, while a heap formed from triceratops bones may have one arm with three spikes protruding from it). Judges are encouraged to embellish the attacks listed below as they see fit in regards to the component bones available.Corruption None. The results of the spell are corruption enough (see below).Misfire None. Though when cast by a thief, all results produce some form of skeletal heap, most beyond the caster's control.1 The bones of the fallen fail to achieve the desired state due to a lack of sufficient necromantic energy. The caster's own bones begin to pop from his body to supplement the creature. Suffer 2d4 Luck loss (permanent, cannot be restored, ever - but you won't live long enough to regret it, anyway!) Each round, the caster must pass an incrementally more difficult Fort save, beginning at DC 14, or suffer the ill effects of their own bones being sucked out through their skin as they attempt to join the heap (lose 1d5 points of Strength, Agility, or Stamina). Three successive saves will halt the process and return the dead to their slumber, leaving the caster in awfully bad shape otherwise.2 - 8 The heap begins to take shape but needs more, more, more! Suffer 1d7 Luck loss (permanent, cannot be restored, ever - stop messing around with the wizard's spell book, thief!) to supplement the creature's growth. The resulting heap has the following stats: Init -4; Atk limb +0 (1d3); AC 10; HD 2d6; MV 20'; Act 1d16; SP un-dead traits; SV Fort +1, Ref +0, Will +0, AL C. Creature only has one usable limb for attacking and will randomly lash out at the nearest target, usually the caster. This heap will continue to attack random targets for 1d3 rounds before falling into a pile of its component bones.9 - 11 The heap begins to take shape but you can't control it! Suffer 1d3 Luck loss (permanent, cannot be restored, ever - what, you think magic is easy?!) to supplement the creature's growth. Also, make an opposed Personality check (heap gets +4 to this check - leave the dead where they rest, fool!) or the heap will randomly attack the nearest target, usually the caster. If you gain control of the heap this way, it will function for 1d3 rounds at your command before falling apart into its component bones.

What happens to the Goody Two Wheels robots is a topic for another day, but the ones who end their functional life with a significant number of wicked acts listed in their behavior log end up in a place of eternal punishment for artificial entities. This place is the Abyss of Automatons. This is a Hell that is run by robots, for robots. Any kind of robot imaginable can be found here, so the judge should feel free to add others not detailed in the encounter areas below. Note that because these automatons have all been previously destroyed, they are now considered un-dead. Deceptiguard: ?Severed Bot Limb: The limbs have all been violently severed from the original robots’ bodies, leaving the limbs with an unstoppable desire to be reattached to anything moving. Endoskeleton: These are the robotic endoskeletons of former cyborgs who had their skins burned off as punishment for their evil. Vacbot: ?Fembot: ?Zombot: Built to look like humans, the zombots have seen sufficient wear and tear in the Abyss to make them appear un-dead: some have loose skin drooping down from their faces like stroke victims, others leak coolant and other fluids, and most walk with a shuffling limp. Designed to keep going, and going, and going, a zombot only stops if their robobrain is destroyed. Hari: HARI, an artificial intelligence designed long ago to be a Human And Robot Interface. After HARI went offline in his first life, he found himself here, in charge of punishing wicked robot souls (if asked who assigned him this task, he enigmatically answers, “I did”). Robodemon: ?Leaky: After a long life spent as a glorified transport for smarter AIs, Leaky is enjoying letting his new authority in the Abyss go to his head. Demon-Saur: The desperate demons of Yoz, seeking vengeance against the voidlings (and soon, against each other), inscribed the demon-saur bones with terrible runes and assembled them into creaking, un-dead war-machines. Demon-Saur Tyrannosaurus: ?Demon-Saur Stegosaurus: ?Demon-Saur Triceraptops: ?Demon-Saur Raptor: ?Demon-Saur Ankyslosaurus: ?Demon-Saur Spinosaurus: ?Demon-Saur Gigantosaur: ?[/spoiler]<a href="http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/229268/2017-Gongfarmers-Almanac-Volume-2?affiliate_id=17596" target="_blank">2017 Gongfarmers Almanac 2</a>[spoiler]Sugar Zombie: Children make no save against the effects of the pixie’s sticks or tasting any of the sweetness of the Big Rock Candy Mountains. Adults make a DC 12 Will save after consuming them, or they become sugar thralls, refusing to do anything except find the Big Rock Candy Mountains and savor its sweetness. Each day a sugar thrall spends eating the minerals causes a loss of 1 Stamina, resulting from a diet of indigestible rocks and little sleep. When the last point of Stamina is lost, the character rises as a sugar zombie. Fiend in the Pit: Near the back of this cell is a now-undead serial killer, whose transgressions in life eventually brought him here to wither and die for his heinous crimes. Enthralled: A shadow land of grey twilight, the Forest of Nedra exists between states of reality, filled with objects both half-formed and those seemingly etched into the fabric of creation itself. The forest does not have a permanent location, but instead slowly resolves throughout time in ancient groves as a spreading blight that acts as a gateway from the mortal world to the demesne of the chaos lords. Evil rumors of shades and fey magic carry into those lands the forest comes to border, and creatures captured and enthralled by its spreading gloom move and act with a dull, lifeless animation.

If this ring is removed, the skeleton animates and attacks. Revenant: If a PC is slain while wearing the ring, and it is looted, his body will rise as a zombie-like revenant to recover the ring. Any character who dies wearing the ring will rise as an un-dead being if the ring is subsequently taken.Vampire: If Blood is defeated, he wears a silver chain worth 20 gp, a gold signet ring worth 25 gp, and an iron ring with a hematite gem that allows a living wearer to cast the following spells once per week: animal summoning (wolves and dire wolves only), ward portal, and phantasm. The spells are cast using 1d20+3 for the spell check regardless of caster class or level. In addition, the character gains 60’ infravision, and is ignored by un-dead (unless he interacts with them first). A character who dies with this ring on his finger rises as a vampire on the next full moon. The newly risen un-dead’s first goal is to recover the ring if it has been taken.

From these mass graves of crushed hopes and unquenched road rage rises a horror that all wastelanders fear, the dread Autogiest.The fiend is a conglomerate spirit of those who have died in violent car wrecks that have joined together to punish the living.Keeper Large Car Autogeist: ?Wight Lady: In the guise of a virtuous Unicorn, Nercocornicons lurk at the edge of settlements and entice young ladies to follow them deep in the wilds … to their doom. After a dark and beguiling ritual, such maidens are impaled through their innocent hearts by the Nercocornicon’s gleaming ebony horn, extinguishing their life and reanimating them, via nano-necrotech, as Wight Ladies to serve the Nercocornicon for eternity.Zombie: Anyone struck by the Nercocornicon’s horn in battle must make a Fort save (DC 10) or be instantly killed. The horn absorbs the victim’s life force as a number of spellburn points equal to the victim’s HD. These points can be stored for up to 24 hours and the horn cannot hold more than 10 points at any one time. If the victim’s body is not properly sanctified and buried, rarely done nowadays, there is a 33% chance of the corpse raising as a zombie.Anyone that dies within a corpsenado's funnel will raise as a zombie within 1d4 rounds.Chilly Man: When a Chilly Man has no opponents to attack or is ordered by Coney to retreat they will pick up any paralyzed victims for conversion into Chilly Men.Mannekill: Corpses that are mostly intact are dragged to the fitting rooms for conversion.The Fitting Rooms: This area smells faintly of burnt plastic and chemicals. Each of the fitting booths have been set up with full body moulds for embalming a body and coating it with plastic.Skull-Or, Lich Wizard 5: Skull-Or was once a powerful and corrupt wizard-hero of Aetheria who cared only for personal power and advancement. Decades ago, the Masters of Aetheria took captive the evil wizard and imprisoned him in the bowels of Castle Oldskull where he learned the castle’s secret: it fed off the energies of spellcasters and lied to its heroes. The wizard escaped but had little strength left in his bones. Dying on the fields of the Dark Lands, the wizard called out to Sezrekan who extended the wizard’s life in exchange for the secrets of Castle Oldskull. The wizard rose again as the lich Skull-Or, pledging to deliver the castle into the hands of his patron... and then destroy it.Ghoul: ?Petrol Zombie: Petrol Zombies are a form of mutated undead that store petrol in their guts.Dying from Petrol Sickness.Business Revenant, Undead Project Manager: The Business Revenant is a creature from the distant past. A human kept alive to complete a long forgotten project by advanced technology.Cihuateteo: Cihuateteo is the name given by superstitious barbarians in the lands south of Umerica to corpses reanimated by a faulty nanovirus developed in the 21st century. Characters that suffer damage from both the Cihuateteo’s claw and Cognitive Distortion attack must make a DC 10 Will save. Failure means that the character is a carrier of the mystic disease and will become a Cihuateteo themselves in 27.3 days unless the nanovirus is purged from the blood. Each day for the next two weeks, persons in close contact must make a DC 5 Fort save to see if the nanovirus invades their bodies. Failure means the person will become a carrier as well.Undead Dire Wolf: The Cyberhive buzzes with tales of undead dire wolves infected by a unique reanimator fungus.

This, of course, means there is also a startling amount of undead in the region as well.Elevating Repose ManaJava.Gary the Skeletal Warrior: Gary was an adventurer from bygone days but his success as one ended in the Space Needle as he and his group ran afoul of a powerful Necromancer. During Gary’s resurrection something funky happened and he retained all of his intelligence and freewill which he quickly turned on his new-found master and slew him.Annanita the Fashion Lich: ?Skeleton: ?Shadow: Die within one day per shot of Nexpresso taken.Caffeinated Corpse, Coffee Animated Ghoul: Raised by pouring a rare brew of ManaJava into a corpse’s mouth, these undead will only be animate for a short time unless they get more coffee… and they know it.Raise Mocha ManaJava.Rave Zombie: These crazed undead can spontaneously raise from the corpses of Technos Discos followers (usually in groups of 3 or more) or can be created by necromancers that have learned to raise the dead with enchanted music. It is unknown if this necromantic raising process taps into the power of the Terrible Bringer of Beats or another, more vile, source of horrifying melodic energy.Ghastrista, Greater Coffee Ghoul: ?Power Wight: Using the secrets of both golemcrafting and necromancy, these creatures are always planned works created in a lab and never spontaneously occur.

Upon death the character resurrects as a new Petrol Zombie.2 Unconsciousness – Unconscious for the next 1d6 hours.3 Acid Damage – The extreme toxicity does an additional 1d6 acid damage to all exposed skin.4 Extreme Fatigue – For the next 1d5 hours all rolls are reduced by 2 on the dice chain.5 Vision Loss – For the next 1d3 hours, all vision related skills are reduced by 2 on the dice chain.6 Confusion – For the next 1d3 rounds, the mind is racked with hallucinations making combat difficult. Roll 1d3: 1 – attacks are directed towards allies 2- no attack possible 3- attacks are rolled as normal but crits are not possible.7 Difficulty Breathing – For the next 1d3 rounds, exerting the body is much more difficult and scales down one die to reflect the extra labor required.nexpresso - A potent potable that only a select few can brew. The drinker gains a pale pallor and similar qualities and immunities as an undead (while still being alive) for 1d3+1 hours. They are immune to critical hits, disease, poison, sleep spells, charm spells, and paralysis spells, as well as other mental effects and cold damage. If a double shot is taken, the imbiber also uses Crit Table U: Un-dead (DCCRPG, pg 390) if they score a critical hit on an opponent. A triple shot grants the imbiber power similar to the Chill Touch spell (DCCRPG, pg 133). They receive a +1 to attack rolls, and every creature the imbiber attacks takes an additional 1d4 cold damage.The drawback of this brew is threefold: firstly, the drinker can no longer feel their body as a living person can so they are unaware of how much damage they take from any attack, other than general observations based on the size of the wound. The GM will track all damage taken during the duration of the effect. Next, the during the duration of the effect, the imbiber can be turned as an undead of equal hit dice plus one. Finally, should the imbiber die within one day per shot taken, they will automatically raise in a few hours as a Shadow. (70-100gp)elevating repose - This brew was developed by the Anti-Life League and is only available on request from the few baristas that they are allied with. In addition, it takes months for the meticulous preparation and brewing process to be done correctly so it is VERY expensive (~1000gp).When imbibed, the drinker will experience the ultimate coffee experience and then gently drift off into a peaceful sleep as they die. 2d24 hours later they may raise as an intelligent undead. Below is a list of saving throws that must be made (rolled in order) to see how the conversion process went:a Fort save (DC 13) versus Death (no reanimation possible). On a success, they roll on Table 9-5: Physical Appearance of Un-dead to determine the nature of their undeath.a Will save (DC 13), success indicates the imbibers class abilities, alignment, memories, and personality remain in tact. Failure could mean they are a different person now or that they were possessed upon reanimation.a Fort save (DC 13), success indicates their Hit Die is increased by +1 die step (reroll all HP). Failure means their Hit Die is reduced by -1 die step (reroll all HP). If the save result was over 20 they also gain 1d3 additional hit dice.a Will save (DC 13), success indicates they may roll one time on Table 9-6: Traits or Properties of Un-dead (DCC RPG, pg 381) to determine what powers unlife has bestowed upon them. If the save result was over 20 than they may roll twice and keep both powers.Raise Mocha - When fed to a dying person or recent corpse this draught will temporary animate the body as a Caffeinated Corpse under the control of the cup holder.

Tampering with any of the jeweled belongings will cause the corpse to animate and attack the party foolish enough to not leave the remains intact.Bone Ghost: Bone ghosts are created when a wizard, aspiring to become a lich in his afterlife, steals a bone from a recently-deceased individual and uses it in an arcane ritual. The wizard who took the bone may or may not have completed his transformation into a lich, but he still has possession of the dead man’s bone. The spirit of the recently deceased whose bone is defiled is forever doomed to walk the earth as a bone ghost, unless his missing bone can be returned to him.Cauldron-Born: Stolen from their crypts by their patron-liege Arawn, the cauldron-born are tireless, silent foes with a resilience that inspires fear among even the greatest of warriors.Imbued with power by Arawn, the cauldron-born are his favored guards and soldiers.Ooze Corpse: If a living being dies inside a consuming ooze it gets reanimated into an ooze corpse after 1d30 minutes.Death-Dealer: ?Ghost Light: Personality 0 from a Ghost Light's Soulburn leads to death and returning as a Ghost Light.Gray Demon: Reanimated through the power of sheer hatred and filled with unimaginable strength, these creatures lurk in jungles near the sites of forgotten temples and palaces.Ink Wraith: The ink wraith is a foul type of un-dead said to be souls of former tattoo artists that caused disease and death from uncleanliness.Lich: Among the followers of Eldrak of the Seven Hells, the most powerful and corrupt of wizards may be offered the opportunity to become a lich. Their mummified corpses are infused with the raw stuff of magic, and they rise again in a state of un-death, to observe the slow passage of eternity and to continue working their will upon the world.Afgorkon, First Among Liches: ?Plague Specter: On occasion, overzealous followers of the Red Death find themselves transformed into a twisted mockery of life. Their humanoid form is replaced by a skeletal-crimson mist. These mists normally inhabit the Land of the Flies, native plane to the Red Death, but there are exceptions. The specters are sometimes sent to defend the faithful or form spontaneously where plague has gone unchecked in heavily populated areas.Plague Zombie: There are strains of fevers and pox that refuse to be satisfied with their host’s death. They continue to twist and change the corpse, giving it an un-life with a desire to “infect”. Plague zombies are almost always humanoid, but animals have been known to reanimate when whole communities are ravaged. Plague zombies spread their pestilence by both bite and pus-laden boils.Targets reduced to 0 Stamina from a plague specter's choking mist die, the poor soul drowning from the mist overwhelming the lungs.

(Hackmaster Basic)Any creature whose ability score is reduced to zero from an energy draining attack perishes. Such a victim will rise from the grave the next day, a half-strength undead of the same type and under complete control of the undead that slew him. (HackMaster GameMaster's Guide)Adjule: See Fantom Dog, Adjule, Devil Dog, Moor Hound.Animal Skeleton: See Skeleton Animal.Animating Spirit, Blesdar, Fabric Phantom: Animating spirits are evil maligned spirits returned from beyond the grave. In life they were betrayed by friends and family members and now most often inhabit an item related to their betrayal and death. (Hacklopedia of Beasts)No one knows where the animating spirit originates, for the first documented case has been corrupted by urban legend. Coincidentally (or not), this ‘fabric phantom’ was the spirit of an expert Mendarn tailor, Blesdar Forband, a man with the reputation of making the most magnificent clothing in the kingdom. However, one customer (a noble by the name of Granden) refused payment until he saw perfection. Blesdar locked himself in his shop and worked his hardest, though Granden proved unsatisfied with the first five attempts. Finishing his sixth effort with an unexpected speed, Blesdar presented himself at the noble’s home to show off his latest creation. (Hacklopedia of Beasts)It was there, stumbling into Granden’s bedroom, that he accidentally learned the truth — Granden had cruelly kept Blesdar working so he could seduce the tailor’s wife. Collapsing from exhaustion and shock, Blesdar died. (Hacklopedia of Beasts)The following week, Granden took the tailor’s last creation from his wardrobe, intending to wear the exquisite ensemble at his next ball. There, he was the talk of the party. When asked where he had commissioned such wonderful clothing, Granden claimed that his consort (Blesdar’s widow) had made them for him. Moments later, Granden fell dead to the floor. The noble’s chest had been crushed inward. (Hacklopedia of Beasts)Supposedly, since that event, animating spirits have appeared across the Sovereign Lands. Some say Blesdar’s fabric had been resold and his vengeful spirit cursed any object that touched it. Others say that the story is no more than myth and that some type of unseen demon stalks the land. The Brandobians call this creature a ‘blesdar,’ with no other understanding of what it might be. (Hacklopedia of Beasts)Apse Horror: See Ghoul, Apse Horror, Dead Riser.Barrow-Wight, Cairn Creature, Witch-Corpse, Vostarr: This dreadful creature is an animated corpse whose spirit was so evil in life that it continues its existence to wreak vengeance and terror upon the living. (Hacklopedia of Beasts)In life, barrow-wights were often of noble birth or held some position of power over others (e.g., a knight, duke or even a wealthy merchant). It is unheard of for a serf, squire or other menial person’s corpse to spawn the evil of a barrow-wight, perhaps because they lacked any feeling of power in life and so their spirit does not strive to hold onto it after death. (Hacklopedia of Beasts)It is thought that a barrow-wight cannot arise from a consecrated corpse or a body lacking any limb or digit thereof, though this may be merely an old wives’ tale. (Hacklopedia of Beasts)A wight's barrow is not only his tomb but, in large measure, his eternal prison as well. Those immutably bound to this sepulcher have but one one hope of escape, that being the ensnarement of a surrogate guardian. Any sapient human, demi-human or humanoid slain by the wight may serve this purpose. Of course, wights were doubtless haughty and proud in life and carried this trait through to their current existence. It wouldn't suit their legacy to have some orkin graverobber ensconced in their tomb. Thus they are choosy about whom they may grant unlife to even at the cost of their own freedom. Those deemed acceptable will be clad in their funereal garb and likely other objects denoting the wight's former status. The corpse will be laid upon the very same funeral slab once occupied by the current master and permitted to rise from death as a barrow-wight. (Hacklopedia of Beasts)Tradition holds that the cairns of individuals who, in life, manifested such evil strength of will that those burying them feared their return were marked with runestones to warn visitors of the possible threat. (Hacklopedia of Beasts)A dreadful creature, the barrow-wight is an animated corpse whose spirit was so evil in life that it continues its existence to wreak vengeance on the living.

Several nights later, however, he was reborn as a flesh-hungry ghoul.

This event is typically tied to a singular, and extremely powerful, emotion such as love, hate, greed, lust, revenge, and so forth.

First comes the removal and separate preservation of major organs, including the liver, heart, stomach and brain. After this initial preparation, there is a ritualized bathing of the body in special liquids that preserve the flesh. The organs are then returned to the host in their proper orientations. Finally the body is bound in fine linen or silk, with each limb and digit wrapped separately, in order that the body might be fully articulated.Mummification has fallen out of favor as a burial practice and is not currently utilized by any cultural group on Tellene. (Hacklopedia of Beasts)As such, knowledge of the actual processes involved to properly mummify a corpse is something of a lost art. It is rumored within certain clerical orders that the Congregation of the Dead has retained this knowledge and some members of this vile sect are capable of returning from death as hideous animated mummies. (Hacklopedia of Beasts)These undead corpses rise from their sarcophagi to enact vengeance on those who violated their place of rest. Mummies are easily distinguishable from other undead, since their bodies were preserved with various spices and chemicals, with their head, body and limbs wrapped from head to toe in strips of white cloth. (Hackmaster Basic)Mummy Blood, Hijarjany: ?Mummy Natural: Not all mummies are the result of deliberate action by mankind. It is possible for exceptional environmental conditions to mummify a corpse as well. Extreme and persistent cold may freeze-dry a body preserving it for millennia while those buried (or perhaps simply perishing) in severely arid regions may desiccate leaving behind remains that persist for centuries. Cold bogs are another source of naturally occurring mummies. The combination of low temperatures, highly acidic water and lack of oxygen serves to preserve cadavers though tanning their skin in the process. (Hacklopedia of Beasts)Mummy Noble, Shojarijany: ?Mummy Rattlebone, Thinchejany: Often they were members of the royal praetorian bodyguard ritually slaughtered and hastily mummified when their liege died. (Hacklopedia of Beasts)Mummy Royal, Shijarijany: ?Mummy Servitor, Jhurijany: When an important noble or royal personage died or was otherwise removed from his position of authority, his personal courtiers were frequently ritually strangled and mummified along with their patron. Interred in his tomb, their symbolic role was to continue their service to their departed master. In truth, this ceremony was often just a ritual veil over the some brutal housecleaning by the new regime eager to ensure that no ties to the former sovereign remained and that the new cadre of attendants was aware in no uncertain terms that their very lives depended upon complete loyalty and devotion to the current ruler. (Hacklopedia of Beasts)When their patron was invigorated with malevolent unlife, these jhurijany (or servitor mummies) were similarly animated and now truly fulfill the role they were, in theory, assigned at their death (despite it being mere court theater at the time).

(Hacklopedia of Beasts)Some Kalamaran scholars say that the ancient origins of the rusalka lie in the Ep'Sarab Swampland, where three witches lay buried in three separate, but adjoining mounds. In the year 458 IR, river pirates led by the famous brigand Caran Bluetooth plundered the mounds. When they did so they roused the souls of the three witches. These evil incarnations rose from the dead in raging madness, hounding the greater part of the crew to death. Only a few escaped, fleeing south down the Badato River. One of these, Caran’s brother Malaran, is thought to have escaped with a powerful magic ring. He fled into the swamps and wandered listlessly, without home or any kind of shelter. The witches, not satisfied with destroying the pirates, lay a curse on the swamp and all the water that earned the pirates their livelihood. (Hacklopedia of Beasts)The curse had greater impact than the witches ever dared hope and soon the spirits of women tormented in life rose from the surrounding wetlands; the rusalka had come to Kalamar.

(Hacklopedia of Beasts)Unquestioningly easier to commandeer, the bones of animals such as dogs can be animated to serve as tireless guardians. Animal remains of a roughly comparable size (like wolves, boars, mountain lions or small black bears) may be used as analogues. However, like standard skeletons, the creature's capabilities in life do not translate to its revivified form.

In unthinking desperation, he offers his daughter to any god or being that will bless his skill at the forge and so bring him coin with which he can support the remainder of his large family. The gods did not respond, but a being from the Nine Hells did. (Hacklopedia of Beasts)This devil (or demon, depending upon the tale being told) quickly came to collect the girl, but the smith realized his own wickedness and decided not to give away his daughter. Instead, he tricked the devil by bragging about the hotness of his fire and claiming that the devil’s home could surely not be as hot. The devil jumped willingly into the smith’s hottest fire to prove his point, whereupon the smith doused him with a bucket of frigid water. The thermal stress shattered the devil into tiny fragments, which the smith later discarded in a nearby swamp. (Hacklopedia of Beasts)Each individual fragment retained a bit of the devil’s mind and eventually became known as a will-o’-the-wisp among the locals – or so the story is often told.

However, it must be noted that spontaneous mass risings of the dead have been recorded by scholars without the seeming intervention of these unholy covens. (Hacklopedia of Beasts)It is rumored that zombies abound in the ‘city of the dead,’ a fabled lost ruin deep within the Khydoban Desert.

In life they were betrayed by friends and family members and now most often inhabit an item related to their betrayal and death.No one knows where the animating spirit originates, for the first documented case has been corrupted by urban legend. Coincidentally (or not), this ‘fabric phantom’ was the spirit of an expert Mendarn tailor, Blesdar Forband, a man with the reputation of making the most magnificent clothing in the kingdom. However, one customer (a noble by the name of Granden) refused payment until he saw perfection. Blesdar locked himself in his shop and worked his hardest, though Granden proved unsatisfied with the first five attempts. Finishing his sixth effort with an unexpected speed, Blesdar presented himself at the noble’s home to show off his latest creation.It was there, stumbling into Granden’s bedroom, that he accidentally learned the truth — Granden had cruelly kept Blesdar working so he could seduce the tailor’s wife. Collapsing from exhaustion and shock, Blesdar died.The following week, Granden took the tailor’s last creation from his wardrobe, intending to wear the exquisite ensemble at his next ball. There, he was the talk of the party. When asked where he had commissioned such wonderful clothing, Granden claimed that his consort (Blesdar’s widow) had made them for him. Moments later, Granden fell dead to the floor. The noble’s chest had been crushed inward.Supposedly, since that event, animating spirits have appeared across the Sovereign Lands. Some say Blesdar’s fabric had been resold and his vengeful spirit cursed any object that touched it. Others say that the story is no more than myth and that some type of unseen demon stalks the land. The Brandobians call this creature a ‘blesdar,’ with no other understanding of what it might be.Barrow-Wight, Cairn Creature, Witch-Corpse, Vostarr: This dreadful creature is an animated corpse whose spirit was so evil in life that it continues its existence to wreak vengeance and terror upon the living.In life, barrow-wights were often of noble birth or held some position of power over others (e.g., a knight, duke or even a wealthy merchant).

Ghost Warriors are such, often returning to the same site many times over and walking the same paths as they did when they were mortal. Ghost Warriors are often found in ancient ruins and battlefields, where it is not unknown for opposing forces of Shades to battle once again and forever. They often manifest in specific times and at specific places, or when they are summoned, as with the Avengers of the Fallen prayer.Ghoul: They usually come into being as the result of a creature that has resorted to cannibalism, or by way of an ancient ritual found in certain necromantic texts.Mummy: Their internal organs have been removed, stored in Canopic jars, and undergone powerful rituals and alchemical processes to ensure that their former host will endure for eternity.None know which Elder God was involved in the process, but it is with the utmost cruelty that the god laid these powerful lords to rest, only to see them rise again as Undead, often imprisoned within tombs for eternity.Revenant: Sometimes, a resurrection spell goes wrong and though the body dies, the soul and intelligence remain. This leaves the subject in a terrible twilight world in which their rotting body is driven by willpower alone.Sandwalker: It is written in the Scrolls of Ytonethotep that anyone consumed by the Locust Swarm of a Mummy while within a tomb sacred to Horus will be cursed to an eternity of undead service. Forever will they serve the Mummy whose treasure they sought to steal.Anyone reduced to 0 Stamina by a Mummy’s Locust Swarm attack will become a Sandwalker, so cursed for as long as its Mummy creator exists.Skeleton: Skeletons are one of the more common forms of undead, and are the easiest to create for those with a penchant for necromancy. Essentially, Human and Eld remains are imbued with a semblance of life and rudimentary intelligence, allowing them to obey simple commands and have a basic understanding of their environment.Skeleton Shattering: ?Vampire: None know how they came into being, but they have fed on mortals from time immemorial. Sages whisper of an ancient curse, while others insist that Vampires are created, not damned. The sages whisper for good reason — any who pry too deeply into Vampire lore tend to disappear.Vampires can create more of their own kind by draining a victim of all Health then restoring it. Their (possibly willing) victim is drained to the point of death when the Vampire opens one of its veins to enable the would-be Vampire, or Childer, to feed. This results in an intense bond between the creator, or Sire, and the victim. The Childer is dead for all intents and purposes, but rises three days later as a true Vampire at dusk.Vampire Spawn: Stamina Points lost to a Vampire’s blood drain ability return after a d6 days of bed rest. During that time, the victim is linked psychically to the Vampire but remains in a delirium. Each Health point a Vampire drains gives it an Energy Point that it can use. A Vampire may return to the victim to drain more, but should the victim’s Health drop to 0 as a result, he or she will die — rising three days later at dusk as Vampire Spawn.Whisperer in Darkness, Wraith: Characters killed from a whisperer in darkness' touch of death return from the grave as a Whisperer in Darkness in 1d6 hours unless they succeed on a Luck Throw.Zombie: A rotting corpse shambles toward you, animated by the dark art of necromancy.Zombies are the mindless corpses of beings that have been animated by necromancy.Zombie Tomb: Mummies often create their own undead servants, called Tomb Zombies, using their Infect ability.Tomb Zombies are withered corpses, created by a Mummy to enforce his will.Call Forth the Dead (Death)Circle: III Casting Time: 1 hourRange: 10 feet (2 squares) Resistance: —Area of Effect: Sphere 6 (corpses) Duration: 1 hour/levelDescription: Most Holy-Men dare not dabble in powers claimed exclusively by the Elder Gods. Only the worshippers of certain Evil Deities like Set or the foolhardy or utterly desperate, dare to challenge Death itself. Invoking this prayer, you imbue motive force into the corpses of the fallen, the murdered, and the massacred.The vision of summoning a vast army, unfettered by morale or the base needs of sentience, overcomes any ethical questions or fear of reprisal from Death. You work this dark art in forgotten battlefields or near unmarked mass graves and it is from these macabre sites that large numbers of desiccated undead can be raised. The deeper your knowledge and experience, the more powerful the undead you may raise. Unfortunately, the dead curse the name of anyone who awakens them from their final rest. You have been warned….Mechanics: All corpses within the area of effect are animated, a number determined by the location in which the prayer is cast (and deteremined ultimately by the MC). An attack roll is made against each corpse, which automatically succeeds, raising the target as an undead creature of the night (see below). However, on a natural roll of 1, 6, or 13, the corpse animates and turns on you, attacking you until destroyed.The Holy-One determines the type of undead each creature becomes upon being raised, drawing from a pool of twice her own level. For example, a 2nd-Level Holy-Woman (who can create 4 levels of undead) might create a skeleton (level 3) and a zombie (level 1), or four skeletons (level 1), and so forth.Animated dead automatically follow simple commands given by the Holy-One who raised them. These commands can be no more complex than those she might give a trained animal. The dead follow these commands to the best of their ability until destroyed or until the duration of the prayer expires. If the Holy-Man moves beyond shouting distance, the animated dead continue to perform the last command given them. The Elder God of Death has placed a strong limit on this prayer, preventing a destroyed animated dead from being animated again.The newly animated dead know very little, and will only act in a manner befitting their existence while alive, namely performing repetitive tasks ingrained in them by years of combat or other occupation. This is another reason battlefields are best suited for raising an army of walking dead.Curse of Nephren-KaMummies and Tomb Zombies carry a particularly nasty magical curse. As a free action, the curse is invoked and the next melee attack will infect the victim with Mummy Rot. The affected creature immediately suffers great pain as their skin becomes desiccated and covered in lesions. The victim must make a Luck Throw to resist the effects or immediately suffer the loss of 2d6 points of Health. If they are still alive, they will also be scarred and lose 1d6 Presence as a result.Anyone reduced to 0 Stamina will rise as a Tomb Zombie under the control of the spellcasting Mummy (in the case of Tomb Zombies, then it is their Mummy creator — if the creator still exists). The Tomb Zombie will rise from the dead during the next sandstorm in the domain of their Mummy creator.Mummy Rot cannot be cured with conventional healing, and requires a remove curse or Aura flensing prayer. The disease also impedes healing, requiring a healer to pass a DC20 Healing check to use any healing spells on the victim.Curse of AryneopsAnyone reduced to 0 Stamina by a Mummy’s Locust Swarm attack will become a Sandwalker, so cursed for as long as its Mummy creator exists. Sandwalkers will rise from the sands only when summoned by their Mummy masunholy landters.[/spoiler][/spoiler]Stay Frosty[spoiler]<a href="http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/206742/Stay-Frosty?affiliate_id=17596" target="_blank">Stay Frosty</a>[spoiler]Zombie: ?[/spoiler][/spoiler]Swords & Six-Siders[spoiler]Swords & Six-Siders Cumulative[spoiler]Undead: ?Dwarven Knight Spectre: See Spectre Dwarven Knight.Dwarven Skeleton Warrior: See Skeleton Warrior Dwarven.Ghoul: Humanoids killed by ghouls turn into ghouls themselves.

It is not clear whether draugr are imbued with the spirit of the deceased, or otherworldly guardians charged with guarding their resting place.Ghost: Ghosts are solitary undead, the spiritual remains of tortured souls such as murder victims or those consumed by intense hatred while living.Lich: These creatures were once powerful magic-users that voluntarily transformed themselves into beings that draw their energies from other realms.Mummy: Mummies are the animated remains of a long dead humanoid. Unlike skeletons, mummies typically retain some of their mortal flesh, often a result of efforts to embalm or preserve the deceased individual’s remains.Mummies are the animated corpses of a long-dead humanoid.Create Undead spell.Myling: In fact, it is widely believed that mylings are the tortured spirits of murdered youth.Shadow: Shadows are the embodiment of the nefarious impulses or lusts of wicked humanoids that are now deceased.Skeleton: Skeletons are the animated skeletal remains of a long dead humanoid.Skeletons are the animated bones of an undead humanoid. Thus, their size and appearance depends upon the type of humanoid the skeleton was derived from. Although most skeletons are humanoids, some are the remains of other creatures.Create Undead spell.Spectre: A spectre is a particularly evil apparition that haunts the crypts of depraved individuals.Vampire: Vampires are an undead corruption of a once living humanoid. In fact, it might be said that vampires are not true undead, but actually living creatures infected with an undead disease.Any creature bit by a vampire (1 point of damage) must make a Mental Resistance check of 15 or become a vampire within one week.Wendigo: The wendigo are the physical manifestations of tortured spirits of that wander the ruins of past civilizations.Wight: Wights are the remains of dead nobles and kings. They are found within old crypts and mausoleums, sometimes alone or in small numbers and with multiple lesser undead servants. Wights do not typically leave their tombs, as they are bound to the trappings of wealth left behind in their graves.Wraith: ?Zombie: A zombie is the animated rotting corpse of a dead humanoid.Zombies are the animated corpses of a dead humanoid. Thus, their size and appearance depends upon the type of humanoid the zombie was derived from. Although most zombies are humanoids, some are the undead remains of other creatures.Create Undead spell.Create UndeadCircle: 5th Resist: NoneDuration: Permanent Casting time: 12 hoursEffect: Special Range: TouchFormula: DDGGSS Damage type: SpecialComponents: V, G, MWhen cast upon a humanoid corpse, the Create Undead spell enables the mystic to create an undead servant. This undead creature will perform simple tasks if able, or attack the mystic’s foes. The undead servant has no motivation independent of its master, and will serve the mystic until it is destroyed.In addition to a humanoid corpse, when creating the undead, the mystic must employ a vial of blood of the same type of corpse to be animated. For example, were the corpse a human, a vial of human blood must be used to create the undead creature. In addition, the ritual requires the consumption of incense of at least 200 silver royals in value.The type of undead created is dependent upon two factors: the age of the corpse, and the presence of the mystic casting the spell. As such, 1d10 is rolled to determine the type of undead created, modified by +1 for each point of the mystic’s presence, and +1 for each year of age of the targeted corpse. For example, if a mystic with a presence of 12 were to cast upon a 4 year-old corpse, a +16 modifier would be added to the d10 roll. The result of this roll is as follows:2 to 25: Zombie: Health points: 12 + 2d4, Dodge score: 11, Initiative: -2, Hide/armor: none, To-hit: +2, Attacks: claw: 2 x 1d6 + 4. Intellect: 3, Physical Resist: +5, Mental Resist: n/a, Movement: 80’. Zombies are immune to spells of possession, charm, or illusion, take only half damage from cold, and are immune to poison and disease.26 to 30: Mummy: Health points: 20 + 1d8, Dodge score: 13, Initiative: +0, Hide/armor: none, To-hit: +0, Attacks: fists: 2 x 1d8 + 2. Intellect: 3, Physical Resist: +6, Mental Resist: n/a, Movement: 90’. Mummies are immune to spells of possession, charm, or illusion, take only half damage from cold, and are immune to poison and disease. Any creature struck by a mummy must make a Physical Resistance check or be infected as if by the 1st Circle Ritual magic spell Infect.31 or more: Skeleton: Health points: 10 + 1d8, Dodge score: 13, Initiative: +1, Hide/armor: none (or by worn armor), To-hit: +1, Attacks: claws: 2 x 1d4 + 1, or 1 x weapon + 1. Intellect: 5, Physical Resist: +1, Mental Resist: n/a, Movement: 160’. Skeletons are immune to spells of possession, charm, or illusion, take only half damage from cold, and are immune to poison and disease.A mystic may create and control a maximum number of undead equal to half his or her presence score. For example, a mystic with a presence of 13 could create and control up to 7 undead creatures. If any more undead creatures are created, they will instantly go mad, attacking any creature in sight until destroyed.[/spoiler][/spoiler]Woodland Warriors[spoiler]<a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/205324/Return-of-the-Woodland-Warriors?affiliate_id=17596" target="_blank">Return of the Woodland Warriors</a>[spoiler]Undead: Undead beasts are either the dead bodies of beasts that have been reanimated by evil wizards and cultists to serve them as bodyguards, or tormented souls that due to the way they died have been unable to leave the earthly realm. Bone-Beast, Skeleton: Bone-beasts are animated skeletons of dead beasts, usually under the control of some evil master. Ghost: They are usually tied to a specific location, item or creature (their “haunt”). They are often stuck in the material realm because they have unfinished business; which when completed allows them to “die”. Ghoul-Rat: For some reason, when diseased rats are reanimated, instead of coming back as skeletons or zombies, a different type of undead is created – the ghoul-rat. Lich: Liches are the undead remnants of Wizards, either made undead by their own deliberate acts during life, or as the result of other magical forces (possibly including their own magic, gone awry). Wraith: ?Vampire: Vampires are creatures that have been infected by vampirism; a disease that is transmitted from some creature already infected to another, by biting them and draining all their blood. Zombie-Vermin, Zombie, Walking Dead: Zombie-vermin are mindless creatures, the walking dead. They are generally created from Vermin – that is shrews, rats, weasels, stoats, crows and sometimes foxes (although the latter would have 2d+3 HD). Why only vermin can become zombies is not known. The standard zombie is simply a corpse animated to do its creator’s bidding, but the Keeper can give them extra HD or abilities if required. [/spoiler][/spoiler][/spoiler]</blockquote>
