Skeleton
This is what happens when you try to revive a person with no specific ritual. It isn't even a creature per se — just a pile of bones cobbled together with magic and basic motor reflexes.
Skeleton Warrior
A skeleton that carries around its tombstone still has no memory or personality — but it has a sort of focus. And a tombstone. Both make it stronger.
Skeleton Archer
It isn't even a creature per se — just a pile of bones cobbled together with magic and motor reflexes. It just happens to "remember" some more advanced ones, like using a
bow.
Wight
A person so dear to someone, they were brought back to life against their will. Dissolving, confused, they claw at others' memories, desperately trying to remember-or-steal their names and identities back.
Wraith
Sometimes the spirit of a risen person is strong and focused enough to realize their predicament is forever. This is not a happy notion for anyone involved.
Phantasm
Not every will'o'wisp is friendly - some of them are misguided souls disturbed by magic and fading.. fading... slowly losing themselves to oblivion and flickering
away...
Undead Pet
Some necromancers raise elves and humans. Other raise creatures that are actually dear and loyal to them. Dogs do not suffer in undeath. Is there a fate better than to stay at a master's side forever?
Bargeist
It is said that the largest, most fearsome undead dogs attack villages at night, stealing children for their nefarious masters and infecting them with vampirism. Has anyone tried to offer them treats?
Armoured Hound
Like any other creature with four legs, undead dogs can be armored and equipped to fight defensively. This less mysticized version of Undead Pets loves their p
ack, too.
Graverobber
An opportunist who followed undead masters to help them produce skeletons and bodies — in any way he could, either by digging old corpses up or creating new ones.
Merchant of Death
Producing bodies for necromantic endeavour is lucrative, but trapping souls is so much more delicious. Merchants of Death know how to simulate love to create creatures bound by it.
Kennel Master
Producing bodies for necromantic endeavour can be a grisly business — but not if you work with creatures that are genuinely happy to serve their masters in unlife just like they
were in life.
Lich
A self revived undead who chained themselves to existence with a phylactery and a rite prepared before death.
Pestilent Lich
Necromancers are the best healers, for the force of life is just the force of death rewound.
Sanguine Lich
Miasma is another form of eternal life, always shifting and changing,
but never dying.
Dread Knight
A knight who was so engulfed in battle, they missed the moment they died — and kept fighting, their soul leaking from the remains and I infusing the armor.
Avatar of War
“And there went out another mount that was violet: and power was given to them that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto them a great scythe. ”
--------------------
Some undead knights only remember the thrill and rage of battle. Horrifying to their enemies whilst enraged, torn asunder yet seemingly real, they bathe in their foes' blood, becoming stronger with every strike.
Hollow Reaper
Some undead knights embrace their inner hollowness, always on the verge of realizing what they have become. But as they're still engulfed in battle rage, this understanding sours into endless sou
l devouring hunger.
Vampire
The origin of vampires remains a mystery to most. Powerful and vain, they see themselves as the pinnacle of creation. The draconic society of Garrote Gorge, however, dismisses such lofty notions.
-----------------------
Capable of prolonging their life indefinitely, some say vampires are the pinnacle of creation. They themselves definitely do. (Dragons would hard disagree.)
Vampire Lord
Vampirism tends to thrive in aristocratic circles more so than it does among commoners. Why? Perhaps it's the aura of being a chosen one, of belonging to a secret society. They don't want to share it with just anyone.
Vampire Scholar
Some of them experiment with blood magic. They look for ways to breed better food, to control others through blood, to awaken its concealed qualities. We should be particularly wary of these ones.
