Coldlight Walker

Some humanoids who died from extreme cold but whose spirits languish in the mortal world become cold light walkers, burning with frigid fury at the meaning lessness of life. Their frostbitten corpses emit a spectral light so intense that mortal eyes can barely stand to look at them. They typically wear the clothing in which they died.
When a coldlight walker dies, its light goes out, leaving behind a frozen, inanimate corpse that can never be raised from the dead.
