Revenant Species in The Sagas | World Anvil

Revenant

Vengeance is what keeps them going

The Revenant may seem like an undead to most, but there is much more to it than that. It is a spirit that does not cross to the after life, but it is not a ghost either since it fueled by emotional rage that it feeds on instead of wandering. They often take control of a corpse to wander the world of the living in search of those who wronged them in life. The reason for revenge vary from time to time but the most common among them is betrayal and they will never stop until its purpose is completed. They search for their betrayer without end and never rest, for they will never know peace until they get it. It does not matter if they how long it takes for time is not matter so long as their task it complete. They are also the only type spirit/undead hybrid to every exist, let alone to have self control over themselves. They don't even try to kill every living thing they see surprisingly. But it will kill if someone keeps them away from their task. Their even been some cases of them wiping out entire armies and towns to get what they want. Most conventional weapons do not even affect them let alone weaken them. Magic just seems to just seems to only slow them down as well. Not even a priest can even exercise the spirit from the body. The best way to stop these killing machines is to let get their vengeance on those who wronged them in life. After that they simply turn to ash and pass on into the after life.
