This Topic is only a list for characters to know what dangers lies out in the wild known as the Dead Lands and a few rural areas.
WENDIGO
- The worst of all of the Undead. An Spirit of Winter, The North, representing decay, famine, and starvation. A malevolent cannibalistic spirit strongly associated with the Winter, the North and coldness, as well as with famine and starvation. It was variously a malevolent cannibalistic spirit that could possess humans or a monster that humans could physically transform into, with hose who indulged in cannibalism were at particular risk.
General form tends towards emaciated gauntness, looking and smelling as if recently disinterred from the grave, size ranges from human to gigantic. They rarely appear, but when they do they instantly tear travelers apart even if travelers are in groups. Killing a Wendigo is night impossible....but it is possible to disable it from moving.... They appear in thick areas where visibility is limited and give off an eerie and very loud moaning sound or groan.IF CAUGHT BY AN WENDIGO WHILE IN HIDING, INSTANT DEATH FOR CHARACTERS IF DICE ROLL 4 OR BELOW.
FEXT
- a powerful undead humanoid with some similarities to vampires and zombies. The abilities of a fext are primarily physical in nature: they possess superhuman strength, durability/endurance, stamina, reflexes, agility, accuracy and/or dexterity. In addition, they always possess some sort of recuperative ability. This may manifest as either rapid regeneration or (more commonly) invulnerability, which often allows them to live an indefinitely-prolonged life.
There are even cases in which fexts have displayed some talent for magic, but those who do usually made deals with malevolent supernatural entities.
A fext's body often does not decay after death; instead, it often only slightly shrivels up, and the corpse often retains rudimentary motion, allowing it to twitch and writhe and grab and move in the grave. Though the dead body has no sentience at this point (cannot sense, cannot think, has no metabolism, etc), as one can imagine, this is a trait most useful in scaring off potential grave robbers. They are the second strongest excluding Vampires though now they have an developing society.
ZOMBIE
- An animated corpse brought back to life by variety of means, such as dark magic. The user's body is dead, possibly decomposing and lacking most physical need and weaknesses.
Skin color of zombies can also vary widely, ranging from normal color to greens, blues, grays and even other colors. Their gait can also vary, from limping, sliding their feet on the ground or have the "arms forward" stance. The weakest kind of Undead, but can overrun travelers in swarms from all directions
LICH
-Liches are depicted as being clearly cadaverous, their bodies desiccated or even completely skeletal. They are often depicted as holding power over hordes of lesser undead creatures, using them as soldiers and servants.
Some variations of lich are distinguished from other undead by their phylactery - an item of the Lich's choosing into which they imbue their soul, giving them immortality until the phylactery is destroyed.
MUMMY
- An undead creature whose corpse has been mummified and animated. Generally mummies are animated to guard some place, often their own or their master's tomb. They are relentless and often nearly unstoppable without exploiting their weaknesses.
