Undead

Undead creatures are a significant part of the dark and perilous world of Rondo. These beings, once living, have been reanimated through various means such as necromancy, curses, or dark rituals. The presence of undead species adds to the foreboding atmosphere and constant danger in the land of Rondo. Common Undead Species:

Skeletons:

Description: Skeletons are the animated remains of the dead, typically reanimated by necromantic magic. They are often used as foot soldiers in undead armies due to their simplicity and ease of creation. Characteristics: Skeletons retain no memory of their past lives and follow the commands of their necromancer masters without question.

Zombies:

Description: Zombies are reanimated corpses that move slowly but possess significant strength. Unlike skeletons, zombies retain some semblance of their former appearance, making them more horrifying. Characteristics: They are driven by an insatiable hunger for living flesh and are difficult to kill unless their heads are destroyed.

Ghouls:

Description: Ghouls are undead creatures that feed on the flesh of the living and the dead. They often haunt graveyards and battlefields, drawn to the scent of decay. Characteristics: Ghouls are faster and more cunning than zombies, with a paralytic touch that can immobilize their victims.

Wights:

Description: Wights are undead warriors that retain some of their skills and abilities from life. They are more intelligent than skeletons and zombies and can drain the life force from their victims. Characteristics: Wights are formidable opponents, often serving as lieutenants in undead armies, and are capable of raising the dead to fight for them.

Liches:

Description: Liches are powerful spellcasters who have achieved immortality through dark rituals. They are among the most feared of the undead, retaining their intelligence and magical abilities. Characteristics: A lich's phylactery, an object containing its soul, must be destroyed to truly defeat it, making them incredibly difficult to kill permanently.

Ghosts:

Description: Ghosts are the spectral remains of those who died with unfinished business or violent ends. They are incorporeal and can pass through solid objects. Characteristics: Ghosts are often bound to specific locations or objects and can cause fear, possession, and other supernatural effects.

Vampires:

Description: Vampires are undead creatures that sustain themselves on the blood of the living. They possess great strength, speed, and the ability to charm their victims. Characteristics: Vampires are vulnerable to sunlight, holy symbols, and stakes through the heart. They can create thralls and other vampires through their bite.
