Bodaks are a race of what is left of a humanoid. They have been touched by evil, often in nightwalker form.

Background[]

Bodaks are creatures without a personality, they are terrible and relentlessness hunters. either of their own volition or at the behest of some greater power, such as the nightwalker that created them.

Ecology[]

Due to them being undead, they have a weakness to light which makes them deny light when able to. Bodaks are not affected by poisons or diseases and therefore have a major resistance to necromancer magic.

Ability[]

Bodaks have an ability that allows them to stare into a nearby creature's soul which can injure or kill the target if already very weak. Creatures killed by the "gaze of death" are destine to become bodaks. Bodaks have a death aura surrounding them which will wound or hinder a person if they are at least twenty-five feet away.

Other Information[]

Many undead creatures are feared by living people due to the immense power they hold, but no undead is as feared as the bodak. The result of becoming a bodak is being a humanoid and being attacked with powerful necrotic magic. The surge of negative energy combined with the pain and anguish of the victim sometimes reform into a the feared undead monstorsity.

Bodaks can be found in the furthest corners of Abeir-Toril. They are always hiding from light becuase it affects them greatly. These undead creatures barely remember their life when they were alive, but sometimes one will have a flashback in battle and they will stop fighting. The person the bodak was attacking will likely not be attacked again for a while. Anyhow, the only thing bodaks truly remember is hatred and anguish. Bodaks are absolutely evil and seek only to destroy every living things. This desire is easily achieved by a bodak, as its gaze is deadly. Anyone who stares at a bodak's eye will instantly die and return one day as a bodak.
