Undead

The Undead are formally living creature who have through some manner (usually necromancy) been brought bac kto some semblance of life, or at least activity. This can take a variety of forms, which are listed below.

Types of undead

Animate undead

Animate undead are a type of undead that consist of a mindless corpse that is manipulated in some way by necromancy. The most common undead varieties that fall under this category are zombies and skeletons, though other varieties may exist.

Haunts

Haunts are the remnants of creatures who died with an important task left incomplete - the relative importance of this deed is often proportional to the power of the revenant creatures in question - one might find a ghost of a commoner endlessly sweeping the same spot in a ruined building, or a deceased company of soldiers endlessly fighting the same battle they lost their life in.

Cursebound

Cursebound undead are similar to haunts in nature, but what distinguishes them is their ability to transfer or continuously inflict their curse upon those they prey upon.
