The Undead are a tragic race of beings that have transcended death, only to find themselves trapped in a state of animated or cursed existence. Reanimated through dark magic or powerful curses, they are a perversion of life, their bodies a shell of what they once were. They are a terrifying sight to all, for they often bear the scars of their death and reek of decay and the grave. Feared and hunted by the living, the Undead are a source of both horror and pity. They retain the memories and abilities of their former lives, yet they are driven by an insatiable hunger for life or revenge, making them both formidable and tragic figures. They are an unnatural force, forever denied the eternal rest that all living things seek.
The Undead possess a unique set of abilities that reflect their cursed existence, making them both powerful and vulnerable.
Unlife’s Resilience: The Undead's body is no longer sustained by life but by dark magic. They are immune to diseases and poisons and are resistant to necrotic damage, allowing them to shrug off decay that would harm a living being.
Eternal Memories: An Undead retains the memories and knowledge of their former life. This allows them to recall information that has been long forgotten and use their past abilities with terrifying skill.
Insatiable Hunger: The Undead are driven by a hunger for life or revenge. They can draw strength from the life force of their enemies, regenerating their own body by draining the vitality of others.
Vulnerability to the Holy: The Undead are a perversion of the natural order. They are incredibly vulnerable to holy magic and divine light, which burns them and can send them back to the grave forever.
