Ecology
Herald of Undeath 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 farmland regions. It is large-sized, which shapes how it hunts, hides, or fights.
Behaviour
Herald of Undeath is haunted by what it was in life; its goals echo old grievances or the will of the necromancer who raised it. Its Lawful Evil alignment shapes how it engages with the world — predictable in tendency, even when unpredictable in detail. It is intelligent enough to plan, scheme, or remember.
Origin
Herald of Undeath is introduced in Kobold Press's Creature Codex (2018). 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.
