Ecology
Demilich* is a creature that has crossed the threshold of death; its continued presence is itself a violation of natural law. It is most often found in any regions. It is tiny-sized, which shapes how it hunts, hides, or fights. As a legendary creature, it is rare in the world and likely the only specimen of its kind in the local region.
Behaviour
Demilich* is haunted by what it was in life; its goals echo old grievances or the will of the necromancer who raised it. Its alignment varies by individual or is irrelevant — it acts on instinct, drive, or whoever commands it. It is intelligent enough to plan, scheme, or remember.
Origin
Demilich* is codified in the 5.5e Monster Manual. Undead are the wounds the Negative Plane leaves on the mortal world — every undead has a death story behind it. Within a campaign, its existence anchors a region with the kind of weight only an old, named species carries.
