Name of Species: Draugr
Home: Decaying areas and gravesites. Dark tunnels and caves.
Preferred weapon: Hands and feet.
Unique Power: Superhuman strength and the ability to increase its size at will.
Likes: Decaying flesh and killing.
Dislikes: Living things.
Family Members: None
Description: The Draugr is a corporeal undead. Draugrs were believed to live in the graves of dead vikings, being the body of the dead. Views differed on whether the personality and soul of the dead person lingered in the draugr. As the graves of important men often contained a good amount of wealth, the draugr jealously guarded his treasures, even after death. They were also noted for the ability to rise from the grave as wisps of smoke. The draugr slew their victims through various methods including crushing them with their enlarged forms, devouring their flesh, and drinking their blood. Animals feeding near the grave of a draugr were often driven mad by the creature's influence.
Some draugr were gifted with immunity to the usual weapons. To defeat a draugr, a person of great strength was often necessary, since only such a man had strength and courage enough to stand up to so formidable an opponent. The person would often have to wrestle the draugr back to his grave and so defeat him, since weapons would do no good.
