When she started to say something, her daddy was there and he hollered, ‘Die with your secret, Becky!’ and she hushed and died with it, whatever it was.”Bit-Yakin: Found in a cliff-face niche, the desiccated remains of Bit-Yakin are wrapped tightly in funeral bands and are adorned with jeweled bangle bracelets along with a silver headband encrusted with gems. 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. The corpse will re-animate in 24 hours as a plague zombie unless the remains are burned.Temple Wrack: Temple wracks are remnants of those foolish enough to plunder sacred places of worship. They’re cursed to an eternal unlife wracked in pain as part of their punishment.</blockquote>
