Orcus is the Prince of the Undead, and it is said that he alone created the first undead that walked the worlds. [b]Ghast:[/b] ? [b]Ghoul:[/b] Formerly human, but now flesh-eating undead mockeries of their former existence, ghouls are fearsome enemies of all things living. All humans slain by ghouls rise again in 24 hours as ghouls, unless the spell bless is cast upon their bodies. [b]Ghost:[/b] These incorporeal, ethereal beings are the animated spirits of horribly evil humans. In life their evil was so great as to attract otherworldly attention, and the powers preserved their being as ghosts after death.

[b]Skeleton:[/b] Skeletons are the animated bones of the dead, mindless automatons that obey the orders of their evil masters. [b]Spectre:[/b] Should a character reach level 0 [from a spectre's energy drain], he dies and will become a spectre in 24 hours. [b]Vampire:[/b] Vampires create others of their kind by draining humans or other humanoids of all life energy (they reach 0 level). The victim must be buried, and after 1 day he will arise as a vampire. If the opponent is killed by this [giant vampiric bat's] attack, he must succeed in a saving throw versus spells or he will rise again as a vampire one day after his death. [b]Wight:[/b] Wights are undead creatures who were formerly humans or demi-humans in life. Any human or demi-human reduced to 0 level [by a wight's energy drain] dies, and becomes a wight in 1d4 days. [b]Wraith:[/b] Wraiths are incorporeal undead creatures born of evil and darkness. Should a character reach level 0 [from a wraith's energy drain], he dies and will become a wraith in 24 hours. [b]Zombie:[/b] Zombies are undead corpses reanimated through dark and sinister magic. The dark magic-users and clerics that create zombies use them to guard locations or valuable treasure. [b]Ghast, Despicable Undead Creature, Ghoul, :[/b] ?
