The 13th day of #30DaysofDarkSun is here and the question is "What is your favorite undead creature?".

This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at http://athas.org/articles/30DaysofDarkSun-13-Undead

I like the unique undead, which is apparently the norm in Athas. There was a dragon magazine article about how to make unique undead.

Dregoth. The only one :).

For me, it’s the Meority. They give some real texture to the idea of a lost time, stuck forever enforcing incomprehensible laws…

And they also go a pretty long way towards implying that the Green Age was no eden either. It’s a pretty twisted culture that creates an undead lawkeeper to enforce it’s no-littering rules …

I’m with Flip. The Meorty were really cool. I also dug the undead dwarves, as it was such a great reminder to dwarf PCs regarding their focus and what happens if they fail and aren’t on-focus!

I guess it would be the Salt Zombie.

BTW anybody can direct me to a good source material regarding only the Athasian undeads.

Thanks!

Chalk me up for the meorty, as well. The description of the underground temple dedicated to absent gods, with the undead living on from their path. And how many candles are still burning as a testament to their loyalty.
