Lebendtod are a form of corporeal intelligent undead, created by a necromancer of considerable skill[1], specifically Meredoth[2]. They are commonly found on the islands of the Nocturnal Sea[2]. They have the ability to appear lifelike, or to reveal their undead state - though suffering damage from magic weapons or spells forces them to assume the latter appearance. They also have the ability to detach body parts and control them remotely[1][3]. Lebentod have an innate desire to serve powerful necromancers and if their master is slain, they will try to find another one[2].
Unlike most undead, lebentod typically lead highly social existences, maintaining the same ways of life, skills and mannerisms as they did prior to their deaths and reanimation[1][2]- Lebentod can even advance in character classes as living mortals can[1][3]. Though reports suggest the existence of entire communties made up exclusively of these undead[1], the lebentod are perfectly able to exist among the living without much trouble[1][2]. However, lebentod have an innate desire to serve powerful necromancers - whether from near or afar - and if their master is slain, they will try to find another one[3].
Lebentod can create more of their kind by exhaling on the faces of dying humanoids and ensuring that the bodies of their victims remain undisturbed for several days. If the would-be lebentod is not allowed to rest for that time unmolested, the corpse instead becomes a ghast[1][3].
