(The Dogs of Orcus)</a>5eBloody Skeletal Dire Tiger: ?Lich Shade: Lich shades are evil creatures who attempted to achieve lichdom but failed for whatever reason. The creature is not destroyed, nor does it become a lich, it becomes something in between — something in between mortal life and eternal unlife. Bloody Skeletal Dire Tiger, Ferocious Bloody Skeletal Dire Tiger, Undead Mount: ?Livonia Tols, Lich Shade: One of the Dogs of Orcus’ most unusual members, Livonia is a lich shade raised to undeath by Orcus himself. An aging wizardess facing death, Livonia Tols — like so many others before her — sought to cheat death, surviving through the ages as an undead lich. Also like many others, Livonia failed in her quest for undeath, instead poisoning herself. As she lay dying, a vision of Orcus appeared before her, offering her the undead immortality she desired, so long as she swore to serve the demon prince. She eagerly agreed and rose as a lich shade, free to act as she wished so long as she advanced the agenda of her demonic master. Beskevar, Flameskull: Beskevar was Livonia’s lover more than 80 years ago. In life, his adoration was without measure. Even though she never returned his love to the same degree — ignoring him for long periods, shamelessly pursuing other lovers, and sharing his company only when she had no other alternatives — Beskevar’s devotion never wavered. He worked most of his life as her obedient menial. So great was his love that he joined her in death but was raised as a flameskull so that he could continue to serve her — a cruel joke that Orcus found hilarious. Undead, Undead Creature: ?Undead Mount: ?Shambling Undead: ?Undead Bulette: Recently, Durax killed a mated pair of bulettes who settled near his home in the Stonehearts. Not one to let useful material go to waste, Durax hollowed out cavities behind the creatures’ crests. He then animated the beasts to serve as his personal modes of transport. Evasheen, Ghost: A wealthy Bargarsport merchant, Occan sought to increase his wealth by studying necromancy and associating with the cult of Orcus — and for a time he succeeded. Unfortunately, his actions and increasing devotion to the demon estranged Occan from his wife Evasheen, who began an affair with one of her husband’s business rivals. Enraged when he learned of the affair, Occan poisoned Evasheen and her lover, then raised both as zombies. What Occan had not anticipated was the depth of his wife’s rage, as she returned as a ghost inhabiting her own animated corpse. Lich, Undead Lich: ?Gunnvor, Skeletal Fire Giant, Akruel's Former General: ?Skeleton: ?Zombie: Instead of a hive, his bees nest within the bodies of zombies Tomrit keeps chained within his barn (Tomrit never liked his neighbors but found a use for them after poisoning them). The bees feed on the corrupted flesh, but this mutated them into a strain with a lethal sting that turns their victims into zombies upon their deaths. One such plan involves a flock of eight giant vultures Ismel trained to lift 10-foot-square wooden baskets packed with zombies animated by his friend Azafand. Evasheen, Zombie, Reanimated Corpse: A wealthy Bargarsport merchant, Occan sought to increase his wealth by studying necromancy and associating with the cult of Orcus — and for a time he succeeded.
