Ecology
Nightwalker 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 arctic regions. It is huge-sized, which shapes how it hunts, hides, or fights.
Behaviour
Nightwalker 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
Nightwalker is reprinted in Monsters of the Multiverse and expanded in Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes. 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.
