Greedy merchants and miserly moneylenders often become these ghoulish, repulsive monsters.Gaki Shikki-Gaki, Shikki-Gaki, Disease-Ridden Shikki-Gaki: Most shikki-gaki are the corrupted spirits of irresponsible healers or negligent servants. A few were once Small nature spirits that inhabited mushrooms or other fungi sprouting from the trunks of decaying trees. These nature spirits completely succumbed to their evil aspects, developing a taste for bluebirds or butterflies.Gaki Shinen-Gaki, Shinen-Gaki, Fiery Shinen-Gaki, Spirit of a Wicked Humanoid: Often created from the spirit of a traitorous or cowardly soldier, a shinen-gaki is the spirit of a wicked humanoid.Gaki Jiki-Ketsu-Gaki, Jiki-Ketsu-Gaki, Vampiric Jiki-Ketsu-Gaki, Spirit of a Corrupted Holy Individual Who Was Guilty of Heresy in Life: Jiki-ketsu-gaki are the spirits of corrupted shamans, monks, or other holy individuals who were guilty of heresy in life.Ghost, Yorei: A mortal spirit resides fully on the Material Plane as long as the body it inhabits is alive. When a mortal dies, the spirit travels to the Spirit World. It may find its way to a heaven or a hell within the Spirit World, it may return to the Material Plane in a different body (reincarnation), or—in unusual circumstances—it may linger near its place of death as a ghost.Create Greater Undead spell.Ghost Akikage, Akikage, Undead Spirit of a Ninja Assassin Who Died While Stalking an Important Victim: An akikage is the undead spirit of a ninja assassin who died while stalking an important victim. In life, the ninja was obsessed with duty and discipline, and this obsession prevents it from resting in death until it has completed its last mission.Ghost Chu-U, Chu-U, Legless Ghost, Restless Spirit of a Mortal Who Was Neither Virtuous Enough to be Rewarded Nor Wicked Enough to be Punished in the Afterlife: A chu-u, or legless ghost, is the restless spirit of a mortal who was neither virtuous enough to be rewarded nor wicked enough to be punished in the afterlife. As a result, it wanders the earth, pulling itself along with its arms in terrible agony, hoping to convince someone to testify to the judges of the dead on its behalf, persuading the judges to let it enter the afterlife.Ghost Con-Tinh, Con-Tinh, Malicious Con-Tinh: The malicious con-tinh is the spirit of a maiden who died before her time—usually as the result of an illicit love affair that ends in murder.Ghost Hanging Ghost: Those who commit suicide are doomed to become ghosts, their spirits lingering in the Material Plane until they convince another person to kill themselves.Ghost Kuei, Kuei, Phi Haa: A kuei, or phii ha, is the spirit of a humanoid that died by violence unavenged or with a purpose unfulfilled.Ghost Ubume, Ubume, Mourning One: The “mourning ones” are the spirits of women who have died in childbirth or while pregnant. The mother and child cannot pass into the afterlife until the child is “born.”Hopping Vampire: When a body is buried improperly or in an inauspicious location, it often returns to activity as a hopping vampire, hungry to kill living creatures. The body is animated by the po soul (evil portion of the soul) of the deceased; the hun soul (good portion) is departed. Without the hun soul, the body is not truly alive, so it retains some of the rigidity of death.Any humanoid hit by a hopping vampire’s claw attack must succeed at a Fortitude save (DC 13) or contract a curse that turns her into a hopping vampire herself. Over the course of 1d4+1 days, the victim slowly transforms into a vampire, growing fangs and long fingernails and becoming more bestial. To stop the transformation, the character must receive a remove curse spell before the process is complete. Each hour spent hopping or dancing on pure sticky rice delays the curse’s onset by 1 day. (As with any physical exertion, a character can only dance on sticky rice for so long before tiring: After moving around for an hour, each additional hour inflicts 1 point of subdual damage on the character, cumulative—1 point the second hour, 2 points the third hour, 3 points the fourth hour, and so on.) Once the transformation has run its course, it cannot be reversed by any means short of a wish or miracle.Onikage: Horses that die in the Shadowlands may rise again as onikages, creatures with scaled, horse-shaped bodies, long fangs, crocodilian tails, glowing eye sockets, and clawed hooves.Vampire Pennaggolan, Pennaggolan: “Pennaggolan” is a template that can be added to any humanoid creature.Pennaggolans usually kill their victims by strangulation before draining all their blood. If a character dies from a pennaggolan’s blood drain ability, however, the victim is at risk of rising again as a pennaggolan. If the body remains unburied for three days, it is transformed into a pennaggolan.Pennaggolan Human Fighter 5: ?Akutsukai, Servant of Evil: An akutsukai (“servant of evil”) is a human who has been transformed into an onilike minion of evil. Most akutsukai were either maho-tsukai or maho-bujin before their transformation, but occasionally characters entirely free from Taint might be recruited by the lords of the Shadowlands and transformed into akutsukai.“Akutsukai” is a template that can be added to any humanoid.The Taint is not just a source of corruption and madness. It bears the power of the Shadowlands, and characters who are willing to use this power can achieve tremendous depths of corrupt might. Two special prestige classes are open only to characters who bear the Taint: the maho-bujin (Tainted warrior), and the maho-tsukai (blood sorcerer). Characters who progress far enough in one of these prestige classes become creatures of the Shadowlands themselves, transformed through the application of the akutsukai (“servant of evil”) template.Akutenshi: “Akutenshi” is a template that can be added only to an akutsukai.Akutsukai who prove their faithfulness to the cause of evil may gain additional abilities, represented by the akutenshi template.Gaki, Minor Undead Spirit, Horrible Monster, Spirit of a Wicked Mortal: ?Gaki Jiki-Niku-Gaki, Ghoulish Repulsive Monster, Ghoulish Creature, Foul Creature, Ghoulish Undead Spirit: ?Gaki Shikki-Gaki, Corrupted Spirit of an Irresponsible Healer: ?Gaki Shikki-Gaki, Corrupted Spirit of a Negligent Servant: ?Gaki Shikki-Gaki, Transformed Nature Spirit: ?Gaki Shikki-Gaki, Bony Humanoid With Pitted and Decayed Skin the Ghoulish Facial Features of a Jikki-Niku-Gaki and Blunt Rotted Teeth, Disease-Ridden Undead Spirit: ?Gaki Shinen-Gaki, Hovering Ball of Flame, Fiery Undead Spirit: ?Gaki Jiki-Ketsu-Gaki, Gaunt Humanoid With Dark and Greasy Flesh Sharp Yellow Fangs Clawed Hands and Deep-Set Bloodshot Eyes, Most Intelligent of All Gaki, Vampiric Undead Spirit: ?Ghost Kuei, Spirit of a Humanoid That Died By Violence Unavenged: ?Ghost Kuei, Spirit of a Humanoid That Died With a Purpose Unfulfilled: ?Ghost Ubume, Spirit of a Woman Who Has Died in Giving Birth: ?Ghost Ubume, Spirit of a Woman Who Has Died While Pregnant: ?Ghost Ubume, Weeping Woman Dressed in White Its Hair Long and Unbound: ?Onikage, Creature With Scaled Horse-Shaped Body Long Fangs Crocodilian Tails Glowing Eye Sockets and Clawed Hooves, Foul Creature, Scaly Horse-Like Undead: ?Onikage, Mount: ?Vampire Pennaggolan, Most Fearsome Undead in Existence, Type of Vampire, Horrid Floating Head With Entrails and Intestines Hanging Down From the Neck, Vampiric Undead: ?Akutsukai, Semi-Human Servant of Evil, Onilike Minion of Evil: ?Medium-Size Akutsukai: ?Small Akutsukai: ?Akutenshi, Most Feared of the Human Servants of the Shadowlands, Commander of the Akutenshi, Master of Oni, General of the Shadowlands Armies: ?Undead, Undead Monster, Undead Creature: 712 Iuchiban’s soul escapes his tomb, gathering Bloodspeakers and raising undead to assault the capital once more.Any creature that dies in the Shadowlands (except for oni) animates in 1d4 hours as an undead creature, usually a zombie of the appropriate size.
