Ecology
Necromancer is a sentient species with its own culture, settlements, and political structure. It is most often found in any regions. It is medium-sized, which shapes how it hunts, hides, or fights.
Behaviour
Necromancer is driven by culture, faction, and personal motive; can be reasoned with, bribed, or betrayed. Its Any 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. Spellcasting expands its repertoire well beyond what its physical stat block alone suggests.
Origin
Necromancer is introduced in Kobold Press's Creature Codex (2018). Within a campaign, its existence anchors a region with the kind of weight only an old, named species carries.
