Since the method for creating them was uncovered, crypt servants have been created for more modern tombs as well.Though created to serve their master in all ways after death, crypt servants are usually encountered while defending their master's tomb and possessions from desecration.Though it is possible to create a crypt servant from any dead body, volunteers are usually preferred; many ancient crypt servants actually volunteered for their posts, wishing to serve their masters in death as in life. Mamluks sometimes volunteer in modern times.Because of their similar purpose and method of creation, crypt servants are sometimes associated with the crypt thing (found in the MONSTROUS COMPENDIUM™ appendix for the GREYHAWK® campaign setting). The spells to create each are similar and probably have the same roots.A servant who has chosen to serve his or her master for an eternity in undeath.Create Crypt Servant spell.Crypt Servant, Corpse: ?Crypt Servant, Corpse Desiccated: ?Crypt Servant, Human: ?Crypt Servant, Elf: ?Crypt Servant, Dwarf: ?Crypt Servant, Guard, Guardian Crypt Servant, Guardian: ?Ancient Crypt Servant: ?Crypt Thing: Because of their similar purpose and method of creation, crypt servants are sometimes associated with the crypt thing (found in the MONSTROUS COMPENDIUM™ appendix for the GREYHAWK® campaign setting).

The corpse must be in reasonably good condition; many are prepared in advance of their master's death. The spell must be cast in the tomb the creature is to serve. A successful dispel magic ends the crypt servant's animation, and the reverse of the create crypt thing spell, destroy crypt thing, will also annihilate a crypt servant if it fails a saving throw vs. death magic.</blockquote>
