Ghast Gravecaller

Source: Monster Manual (2024) p. 130

Ghast gravecallers wield fell magic and converse with corpses. They might pose as liches or vampires.

Ghasts

Tyrants among Corpses

Habitat. Swamp, Underdark, Urban
Treasure. Any

Ghasts are reeking, undying corpses closely related to ghouls. They hunger for the vices they enjoyed in life as much as they do for rotting flesh.
