| − | Ghouls are fully conscious walking corpses of various race and class, often not having actually died but rather being cursed with undeath through spellcraft, or divine intervention. Due to the fact that ghouls are cursed with undeath most ghouls haven't actually died, although there are some cases of using the curse to save someone moments before death. The only way to revert a ghoul back to it's original form is to break the curse, doing so to a ghoul who's life the curse saved however can potentially result in their death.

| − | *Since most ghouls are given undeath ritualistically, many ghouls often bare ritual markings reflecting the nature of their resurrection.

| − | '''Draugr''' - created when humanoid creatures are lost at sea in regions haunted by evil spirits or necromantic effects. The corpses of these drowned sailors cling fiercely to undeath, attacking any living creatures that intrude upon them. Their attacks smear rancid flesh, rotting seaweed, and swaths of vermin on whatever they hit. In the case of draugr who manifest when an entire ship sinks, these undead usually stay with the wreck of their ship. Some draugr may be found under the control of aquatic necromancers, while others may wander the seas as undead pirates aboard ghost ships.

| − | '''Skeletons''' - resurrected bodiess who've been dead so long that their flesh has entirely decayed. Skeletons are also more simple minded than common ghouls, however they are not quite as simple as the common [[Zombie]] skeletons are relatively frail and can fall apart fairly easily. Luckily for them however, they can also put themselves back together just as easyily. Like all ghouls skeletons can only be killed by breaking whatever spell or curse gave them undeath in the first place.

| − | '''Mummies''' - Former Nobles Emperors kings and pharaohs who have called upon their god to bind their soul to their body after death. Mummies are often tasked by their god with guarding honored tombs or sacred artifacts, only to be freed by death or failure follow their god's task. Most mummies are powerful clerics and are deeply devoted to the god that granted them life. Mummies are created through a rather lengthy and gruesome embalming process, during which all of the body's major organs are removed and replaced with dried herbs and flowers. After this process, the flesh is anointed with sacred oils and wrapped in purified linens. The ritual is finished when a servent of their god cast a spell to raise the dead. Although most mummies are created merely as guardians and remain loyal to their charge until their destruction, certain powerful mummies have much more free will. Mummies are the only type of ghoul that '''HAS''' to have died in order to become one, as the first steps of their ressurrection can only begin post-death.
