Description Violently distorted, walking corpses with bloodshot eyes and sharp black fangs.
Corruption Those killed in a mass murder, war, or other forms of extreme mass violence, including famine and plague, sometimes rise violent walking corpses.
Esoterica Grausamekoerper are beings of feirua and msawhat. They do not retain powers from life nor can they learn new arts in undeath.
Special Powers Grausamekoerper cause unease in those who are near them. They are supernaturally strong. They desire blood. Their teeth are incredibly sharp and cause paralyzation.
Necromancy To create a grausamerkoerper, one must either commit some form of mass murder or find those killed by it, then perform a ceremony (13) that further mutilates the bodies, dedicating each mutilation to vengeance upon the living. To control one, one must chain the grausamerkoerper with a brass chain around the neck; to summon one, one must spill innocent blood and wash a precious stone in it for an hour. To capture and draw the power of one, one must keep its heart in a brass urn filled with ash.
Sending The true love of a grausamerkoerper can send them with a kiss.
Weaknesses Love resonance and dumaqu are especially effective, but all positive resonances, heavenly essences, qi, and the gates can send them.
Behavior Grausamekoerper attack and kill mortals, ripping them to pieces, drinking their blood, compelled to continue the killing that created them, often mutilating their victims as they were mutilated.
Dominion Culture In the Agikaani Dominion, grausamerkoerper are foot soldiers. They are low-ranking, come in mass numbers, and feared by their enemies.
Other Dominions In other Dominions, they do not have special powers, but they are often used to supplement the commoner soldiers or low-ranking warriors.
Mortal Interactions Grausamekoerper are whispered about, rumors of them in the ranks of invading, horrible nations or the militaries of tyrannies. Soldiers speak of them, tell tales of surviving their attacks. Villagers tell of them after heinous events kill many people violently, warning others not to go near where it happened.
Afterlife Some grausamekoerper can find redemption, especially through love resonance, but they will end up in the in-between for millennia. Most end up in the Hells, the Catacombs, or the Grey Lands.
