Necrotic Evolution Chain

Bone Claw Evolution Chain

Ghoul

Uncommon

Ghouls roam the night in packs, driven by an insatiable hunger for humanoid flesh.
Devourers of Flesh. Like maggots or carrion beetles, Ghouls thrive in places rank with decay and death. A ghoul haunts a place where it can gorge on dead flesh and decomposing organs. When it can't feed on the dead, it pursues living creatures and attempts to make corpses of them. Though they gain no nourishment from the corpses they devour, Ghouls are driven by an unending hunger that compels them to consume. A ghoul's Undead flesh never rots, and this monster can persist in a crypt or tomb for untold ages without feeding.

Mummy

Uncommon

Raised by dark funerary Rituals, a mummy shambles from the shrouded stillness of a time-lost Temple or tomb. Having been awoken from its rest, it punishes transgressors with the power of its unholy curse.
Preserved Wrath. The long burial Rituals that accompany a mummy's entombment help protect its body from rot. In the embalming process, the newly dead creature's organs are removed and placed in Special jars, and its corpse is treated with preserving oils, herbs, and wrappings. After the body has been prepared, the corpse is typically wrapped in linen bandages.

Boneclaw

Rare

A Wizard who tries to become a lich but fails might become a boneclaw instead. These hideous, cackling Undead share a few of the lich's attributes-but where liches are immortal masters of the arcane, boneclaws are slaves⁠ to darkness⁠, hatred⁠, and pain⁠.
The most important part of the transformation ritual occurs when the soul of the aspiring lich migrates to a prepared phylactery. If the spellcaster is too physically or magically weak to compel the soul into its prison, the soul instead seeks out a new master-a Humanoid within a few miles who has an unusually hate-filled heart. The soul bonds itself to the foul essence it finds in that person, and the boneclaw becomes forever enslaved to its new master's wishes and subconscious whims. It forms near its Master, sometimes appearing before that individual to receive orders and other times simply setting⁠ about⁠ the fulfillment of its master's desires.

Zombie Beholder Evolution Chain

Zombie

Common

Dark Servants. Sinister necromantic magic infuses the remains of the dead, causing them to rise as Zombies that do their creator's bidding without fear or hesitation. They move with a jerky, uneven gait, clad in the moldering apparel they wore when put to rest, and carrying the stench of decay.
Most Zombies are made from Humanoid remains, though the flesh and bones of any formerly living creature can be imbued with a semblance of life. Necromantic magic, usually from Spells, animates a zombie. Some Zombies rise spontaneously when dark magic saturates an area. Once turned into a zombie, a creature can't be restored to life except by powerful magic, such as a Resurrection spell.
A zombie retains no vestiges of its former self, its mind devoid of thought and imagination. A zombie left without orders simply stands in place and rots unless something comes along that it can kill. The magic animating a zombie imbues it with evil, so left without purpose, it attacks any living creature it encounters.

Ogre Zombie

Uncommon

Zombies appear as they did in life, showing the wounds that killed them. However, the magic that creates these vile creatures often takes time to run its course. Dead warriors might rise from a battlefield, eviscerated and bloated after days in the sun. The muddy cadaver of a peasant could claw its way from the ground, riddled with maggots and worms. A Zombie might wash ashore or rise from a marsh, swollen and reeking after weeks in the water.

Zombie Beholder

Rare

Zombies take the most direct route to any foe, unable to comprehend obstacles, Tactics, or dangerous terrain. A Zombie might stumble into a fast-flowing river to reach foes on a far shore, clawing at the surface as it is battered against rocks and destroyed. To reach a foe below it, a Zombie might step out of an open window. Zombies stumble through roaring infernos, into pools of acid, and across fields littered with Caltrops without hesitation.
A Zombie can follow simple orders and distinguish Friends from foes, but its ability to reason is limited to shambling in whatever direction it is pointed, pummeling any enemy in its path. A Zombie armed with a weapon uses it, but the Zombie won't retrieve a dropped weapon or other tool until told to do so.

Skeleton

Common

Whatever sinister force awakens a skeleton infuses its bones with a dark vitality, adhering joint to joint and reassembling dismantled limbs. This energy motivates a skeleton to move and think in a rudimentary fashion, though only as a pale imitation of the way it behaved in life. An animated skeleton retains no connection to its past, although resurrecting a skeleton restores it body and soul, banishing the hateful Undead spirit that empowers it.
While most skeletons are the animated remains of dead Humans and other humanoids, skeletal Undead can be created from the bones of other creatures besides humanoids, giving rise to a host of terrifying and unique forms.

Skeleton Minotaur

Uncommon

Skeletons raised by spell are bound to the will of their creator. They follow orders to the letter, never questioning the tasks their masters give them, regardless of the consequences. Because of their literal interpretation of commands and unwavering obedience, skeletons adapt poorly to changing circumstances. They can't read, speak, emote, or communicate in any way except to nod, shake their heads, or point. Still, skeletons are able to accomplish a variety of relatively complex tasks.

Bone Naga

Rare

Nagas are intelligent serpents that inhabit The Ruins of the past, amassing arcane treasures and knowledge.
The first nagas were created as immortal guardians by a Humanoid race long lost to History. When this race died out, the nagas deemed themselves the rightful inheritors of their masters' treasures and magical lore. Industrious and driven, nagas occasionally venture out from their lairs to track down Magic Items or rare spellbooks.

Vampire Evolution Chain

Wight

Uncommon

The word "wight" meant "person" in days of yore, but the name now refers to evil Undead who were once mortals driven by dark desire and great vanity. When death stills such a creature's heart and snuffs its living breath, its spirit cries out to the demon lord Orcus or some vile god of the underworld for a reprieve: undeath in return for eternal war on the living. If a dark power answers the call, the spirit is granted undeath so that it can pursue its own malevolent agenda.
Wights possess the memories and drives of their formerly living selves. They will heed the call of whatever dark entity transformed them into Undead, swearing oaths to appease their new lord while retaining their autonomy. Never tiring, a wight can pursue its goals relentlessly and without distraction.

Vampire Spawn

Rare

Awakened to an endless night, vampires hunger for the life they have lost and sate that hunger by drinking the blood of the living. Vampires abhor sunlight, for its touch burns them. They never cast shadows or reflections, and any Vampire wishing to move unnoticed among the living keeps to the Darkness and far from reflective surfaces.

Vampire

Very Rare

Whether or not a vampire retains any memories from its former life, its emotional attachments wither as once-pure feelings become twisted by undeath. Love turns into hungry obsession, while friendship becomes bitter jealousy. In place of emotion, vampires pursue physical symbols of what they crave, so that a vampire seeking love might fixate on a young beauty. A child might become an object of fascination for a vampire obsessed with youth and potential. Others surround themselves with art, books, or sinister items such as torture devices or trophies from creatures they have killed.
