Undead are unnatural creatures, most of which result from necromancy. Most undead are the direct or indirect creation of [[Demons]], though their methods of creation and their properties differ. One aspect that all undead share is that all undead can be burned and eventually destroyed by exposure to direct sunlight or by holy artifacts and powers.
==Spectral Undead==
Spectral undead come in far fewer varieties than their corporeal counterparts, and they are generally less associated with demons, such as [[Ghost|ghosts]].
==Corporeal Undead==
Corporeal undead come in a wide variety, ranging from the simplistic shambling undead to the [[Vampire|vampires]], which are directly associated with the ancient [[Shifter|shifters]].

 ==Types==
-Undead usually vary according to how they were created. Necromancers may summon undead slaves without the use of a captured soul, creating the slow-moving [[shambling dead]], or they may bind a living soul to a dead body to create a more powerful [[revenant]]. Some undead occur "naturally" as inhabitants of the [[spirit realm]] - lingering souls who refuse to pass into the afterlife - attempt to contact their loved ones. These are called [[ghosts]]. Some ghosts whose willpower and hatred are strong enough to break the barrier into the mortal realm so they may cause direct harm to mortals are then also classified as revenants.

 In some cases, powerful necromancers have sought undeath as a way to achieve a sort immortality in this world. They bind their souls to physical anchors to prevent them from passing into the afterlife, thus becoming undead [[liches]]. The mysterious creatures known as [[vampires]] were created when the ancient race of bat-[[shifters]] sought the help of demons in order to retain their powers. They are now a type of undead who breed by infection, spreading their 'gift' to chosen victims.
