Bestiary - Thoughts on Undead Part 3

Lich

A lich is created when the spirit (or a portion of a spirit) is separated from a body by use of a Magic Jar spell. The separation allows the spirit (or portion) to remain in the mundane world after the body has died.

  • Demi-Lich - An extremely old Lich whose body has decade to the point only a skull remains.
  • Hag - A witch that has transformed into a type of lich with a bit of demonic aid.
  • Lich - A lich is a Necromancer that has used their own body as a Magic Jar to hold their own spirit (or portion of their spirit) giving it near eternal life.
  • Mummy - Similar to a lich except the Mummy was made into a lich by another and is therefore not necessarily a powerful Necromancer in their own right.
  • Pharaonic Guardian - Lesser Mummies created to serve a Mummy in their undead state.
  • Wight - Similar to a Mummy but created by a different process and somewhat weaker. Wights are restricted to the area around the barrow in which they were buried.

Vampires


  • Berbalang - Winged Nosferatu thing that wasn't undead in Fiend Folio but was some kind of ghoul in Filipino legends.
  • Manananggal - Female torso with bat wings.
  • Nosferatu - An ancient vampire.
  • Vampire - Vampires are well enough known to not require detail here.
  • Vampire Spawn - A vampire under the control of another (the one that turned them).

Note - The art above is copyright Don Kenn who draws incredibly creepy undead that may or may not be vampires but certainly look scary enough. I make no claims to it beyond loving his work and will remove it if asked.
