Undead Types
Ghost
Sometimes, dying isn't the final end. Sometimes, there is unfinished business left behind by the departed. And if that business is compelling enough, and the will of the deceased strong enough, the spirit remains in the mortal world, haunting a place or a person, waiting to finish that business.
Those spirits are called ghosts, and they gain power from their anger or their confusion. Destroying them with weapons and magic is difficult, and often a temporary solution at best, as until their business is complete, they will return again and again.
Notable Members
Ghoul
Ghast

Lich
Lich Spawn
Entry by Kimo FallenLeaf and Jericho Arnon
A type of lich, but rather than performing a ritual that pulls them through death into undeath, they are apparently the subject of such a ritual, presumably performed by a much more powerful entity, possibly an actual lich. This results in a creature that shares many of the characteristics of liches, but at a much lower power level. The only example of such a creature yet encountered by the Light of ORB is now interred at the Zoo in Luminaux.
