SFS Standard Driftdead Returned Creature 2

The least of these wretched spirits are the returned. Appearing as twisted versions of the shapes they wore in life, the returned drag themselves through space with wriggling, clawed appendages or float with hideous grace. The returned haunt Drift beacons, castaway ships, and airless rocks.

All Creatures in "Driftdead"

Driftdead

Driftdead are created when a restless soul fuses with planar energies and reanimates its own corpse into a disturbing parody of life. Rarely, disturbed spirits snatched from elsewhere fuse together to inhabit a single dead body. Any death within the Drift might spawn a driftdead, but creatures that die in a frenzy of intense emotion are more likely to make the transition.

Horrors of the Drift

Driftdead feel and are drawn to the living as they repeat their miserable, tireless routines. Ships traveling through the Drift risk possession by crashers or invasion by returned and amalgams clawing through the hull to stalk living passengers. Worse, the most depraved necromancers of the galaxy command these horrors, wielding driftdead as weapons against their living enemies.
