An undead.

Baneguards are skeletal undead, usually human, animated by the priests of Bane. They are related to direguards.

Skeletons are the same height as living creatures (obviously) but roughly 1/7 of the weight. Human skeletons average 5 ft 9 in tall and 23 lbs (male) or 5 ft 4 in tall and 17 lbs (female).

DM’s Notes

This is a template which can supposedly be applied to any living creature. This means any aberration, animal, dragon, fey, giant, humanoid, magical beast, monstrous humanoid, ooze, outsider, plant, or vermin. You obviously can’t put this template on a construct, elemental, or undead, since they’re not alive. However, oozes and plants don’t make sense either, and it’s questionable whether it should be possible to apply it to fey or outsiders, since (I believe) these creatures are not normally susceptible to being animated as undead.

Desert Wraith

This information is intended for use with the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.

At a Glance

An undead.

Desert wraiths are created when humanoids are killed by skriaxits. Sentient creatures killed by desert wraiths are reanimated as zombies after one day.

Desert wraiths share their principal attack forms with common wraiths, and like all forms of undead they exist to destroy all life. Desert wraiths can take a humanoid form for attacking, and a jackal form for faster movement. They are destroyed by direct sunlight, and take normal damage from holy water.

Habitat

Desert wraiths lair in warm deserts.
