Revenant

Revenants are disembodied planar spirits who can possess dead flesh animating them with dark purpose. Revenants have no love for the living, and enjoy nothing more than feeding on living flesh. Revenants are most often constructed by use of Sorcery. Because the magic which binds them to the flesh is controlled by their necromantic masters they must obey unfailingly. Their eyes glow with a colored light indicating the planar realm powering the corpse. Green for Stygia, Red for Pandemonium, Blue for Arcadia, and Gold for Aaru.

Rank 2 - Skeleton

Main Article: Skeleton

These bony monstrosities retain something of their mortal skill, and are capable of wielding various weapons, shields, and armor.

Rank 4 - Ghast

These deadly creatures are a more powerful and intelligent version of Ghouls, however instead of using diseased claws and bites, they exude a repulsive poisonous cloud of corruption. They revel in sickening, weakening, and eventually devouring their targets. They are even more capable than Ghouls in taking orders and acting them out intelligently.

Rank 5 - Wight

These powerful and cunning enemies are the bane of the living, seeking to fulfill their masters wishes cleverly and directly. Often acting as commanders of other Revenants, the Wight’s draining touch is a powerful asset to their arsenal but they use it cautiously, preferring to use ranged weapons, or surround a target to maximize their chances of draining their life force.
