All Creatures in "Irradiated Undead"

Irradiated Undead

To survive in the unforgiving expanse of space, creatures must be naturally adapted or take protective measures. While the dead rarely need such precautions against these threats, sometimes radiation can animate a corpse (or several) to a state of undeath!

Scientists and religious scholars alike debate whether a specific type of radiation is to blame for this phenomenon that spontaneously triggers unlife, but all agree on the dangers such irradiated creatures pose. Many types of radiation could be the cause: intense bursts of cosmic radiation emitted by the stars, magically enhanced radioactive isotopes found in a planet's or moon's crust, or even the advent of new energy sources in a society (or its radioactive waste) contaminating the land. Regardless of their specific origin, irradiated undead all pose the same threat—they emit ionizing radiation that ravages everything around them.

Half-Life Afterlife

Even if they don't explode upon being destroyed, irradiated undead corpses retain their radioactivity. Depending on which radioactive isotope is predominant in the corpse, it can remain dangerously irradiated for a few hours, or for millions of years. Industrial sanitation companies have special services that can be purchased for storing or disposing of irradiated corpses.

Renewable Energy

Some intelligent irradiated undead capitalize on their unnatural radiation as a heat source for hire. On Eox, irradiated undead wear special lead suits that block dangerous radiation while conducting released heat to create a pocket climate around them. When properly geared, an irradiated undead guide can keep living tourists safe and comfortable during an expedition into the grave world's wilderness.
