[b]Undead:[/b] ? [b]Mindless Undead:[/b] ? [b]Ghoul:[/b] Legends say the first ghoul was an elf who practiced depraved, cannibalistic rituals to curry favor with the demon lord of undeath. When this elf repented, the gods decreed that he and his kind would be forever immune to the ghouls' paralytic touch. Still, the demon lord continues to reward feasters of flesh by transforming them into ghouls. Even those who turn to cannibalism out of desperation might unwillingly receive the lord's dark blessing.

Spellcasters create scarecrows to guard the entrances to their homes. Made of rags and straw, scarecrows are particularly susceptible to fire. Though terrifying, scarecrows fall to pieces if the magic that animates them is dispelled. The spirit of a dead humanoid inhabits each scarecrow; banishing this spirit also destroys the scarecrow.

Most often, spellcasters create skeletons to act as guards and servants, but it's not unheard of for skeletons to arise from cursed grounds where the living are outnumbered by the unburied dead. Necromancy imbues skeletons with a semblance of life, although some skeletons rise spontaneously on cursed battlefields or in cities ravaged by plague. Nearly anything with bones can be reanimated as a skeleton. [b]Skeleton, Reanimated Skeleton:[/b] ? [b]Skeleton, Mindless Undead:[/b] ? [b]Gingerbread Man:[/b] ? [b]Skeleton, Fleshless Corpse:[/b] ?
