[[caption-width-right:209:5e]]
->'''Origin:''' ''Literature/{{Dragonlance}}''\\
'''Classification:''' Undead (5E)\\
'''Challenge Rating:''' 6 (5E)\\
'''Alignment:''' LawfulGood

Noble knights who remain duty-bound to the world of the living, fighting with all the skill they possessed in life.
----
* EnemySummoner: Downplayed; foresworn can summon a "phantasmal battalion" of allies to aid them in battle, but they're not treated as separate creatures, instead these ghostly allies form up around the foresworn and make the area around their summoner difficult terrain, and extend the range of the foresworn's attacks.
* GoodCounterpart: They're something like an unambiguously Good blend of a ghost and revenant -- they're [[{{Intangibility}} incorporeal]] like the former, and have the [[RevenantZombie strong sense of purpose]] of the latter. In their home setting, foresworn are Knights of Solamnia who swore to defend a bloodline, artifact, etc. and won't let death keep them from fulfiling their vow.
* ResurrectiveImmortality: If "killed" before they're able to fulfil their duty, foresworn will reform at their previous location in less than a week.
* WarriorUndead: Foresworn are much more capable in close combat than ordinary ghosts, enjoying a high Armor Class thanks to their plate armor, and making multiple attacks with their spectral weapons rather than a single necrotic touch.

'''Alignment:''' ChaoticEvil

Smoky, smoldering undead who suffered fiery deaths by accident or malice, and now wander the world in a daze, burning every living creature they encounter.
----
* BerserkButton: Given the circumstances of their deaths, fire spectres prioritize foes wielding burning weapons or magical flame, even though the undead are immune to fire.
* {{Intangibility}}: They're incorporeal undead, with the added note that when they pass through a wall, they leave behind a human-shaped scorch mark.
* PlayingWithFire: Fire spectres can ignite living creatures with an incorporeal touch, and have a conical, fiery BreathWeapon. The flames licking around their ghostly bodies also automatically suspend any ''darkness'' effect they move into.

Also known Appearing as "knifewyrms," obscenely obese ghouls, these odd, tiny dragons pass themselves off as weaponry.ravenous undead can consume a hundred people a day and still fail to sate their endless hunger.



* BizarreAlienReproduction: If a feeder is able to drain blood every day for a year, it reproduces asexually, and after gestating its young for a day is ready to latch onto a dead victim and inject its wyrmlings into the corpse. At that point the parent feeder dies, while the wyrmlings feed on the corpse for a few days before bursting free and taking to the air, in search of wielders.
* EquippableAlly: Feeders masquerade as daggers, and pass from host to host, serving as a weapon.

* MysticalPlague: Feral spirit swarms can infect victims with a "spiritual corruption," a magical disease that deals Wisdom damage and, unlike normal illnesses, can [[StatDeath bring a victim's ability score to 0]], after which the victim rises as a zombie in a few hours. ''Cure disease'' can remove this illness, or a cleric can exorcise it as if the patient was possessed.

30-foot horrors that can take different forms, from wraithlike dragons to giant skeletons to towering humans, but are always surrounded by green flames.
----
* BizarreAlienReproduction: Every 200 years, a fireshadow splits in half to form an identical copy of itself.
* OurDemonsAreDifferent: They hail from the Abyss of Krynn's cosmology (not to be confused with the Infinite Layers of the Abyss from the Great Wheel cosmology), and 2nd Edition doesn't treat them as undead, though fireshadows are still vulnerable to ''disruption'' weapons. 3rd Edition instead classifies them as extraplanar undead.
* ReducedToDust: Every few rounds, they can project an invisible ''ray of oblivion'' that acts much like the ''disintegrate'' spell, dealing heavy damage and reducing those it slays to dust.
* TheSpeechless: They can't speak, but communicate telepathically with their summoner.
* TechnicolorFire: Fireshadows are [[WreathedInFlames wreathed in green flames]], which adds additional damage to their melee strikes and damages all within 10 feet. Worse, victims damaged by these flames keep burning, taking Constitution damage every round until the green fire is doused by holy water, or put out by the application of healing magic or exposure to sunlight. Those who succumb to the flames [[TheVirus become a new fireshadow]] a few rounds later.
* WeakenedByTheLight: Natural daylight ''slows'' a fireshadow and deals damage each round the creature remains in it.

* PyroManiac: Forgewraiths hate the living and seek to consume them in a fiery inferno.

It's even possible to trick the monster into drinking holy water this way, though a forlorn husk is entitled to another save to notice the danger.
* VampiricDraining: After wounding a creature, a forlorn husk will attempt to grapple it and drain moisture from the open wound, dealing additional dessication damage and dehydrating its victim.

* FlayingAlive: Good news, the flaying happens ''after'' the forsaken shell kills you! Though this does mean that anyone investigating these creatures' activities will eventually uncover a stash of skinless corpses.
* ItCanThink: For something without an actual brain, forsaken shells can be clever about their predations, and try to drag their victims' corpses somewhere out of sight.
* TheVirus: Any creature killed by a forsaken shell will slough off their skins after a few rounds, creating another of the monsters.

Simians with wings and enhanced intelligence, magnifying the trouble they can cause other creatures.
----
* {{Familiar}} 5th Edition lets them serve as such, pending DM approval.
* ItCanThink: At Intelligence 5, flying monkeys are as smart as 5E ogres, and 3rd Edition even gives them "a rudimentary language of cries and growls."
* MischiefMakingMonkey: Wild flying monkeys avoid combat unless they're defending themselves or their territory, but they can be "a plague and a pest" to farmers due to their ability to easily steal and gorge themselves on crops of fruit, sweets, beer, etc.
* SillySimian: Some flying monkeys are domesticated and taught to obey simple commands, or even dressed up in little vests and fezzes.
* VerticalKidnapping: 3rd Edition lets flying monkeys mob up on, grapple and carry off larger creatures, with four monkeys needed to snatch a Small creature, or eight needed to carry a Medium-sized creature. A victim of such kidnapping can choose to fight free with an opposed grappled check, though that does mean they'll be in freefall.

Smoldering serpents who lair in geothermally-active areas when they aren't serving as guardians for wealthy patrons. They range in size from the four-foot-long "minor" subspecies, to the seven-foot-long "lesser" flame snake, to the 30-foot-long "greater" variety.

Not to be confused with fire snakes, the immature forms of salamanders.



* BewareMyStingerTail: Unlike ordinary serpents, flame snakes have spikes on their tails that they use in combat.
* TheChainOfHarm: Lesser flame snakes are particularly cruel and vicious from the abuse they suffer from their greater kin, which they take out on minor flame snakes or any other creature they come across. This means they're the variety least likely to be used as a guardian beast, since "Most would-be employers shy away from a creature almost as likely to bite its master as any intruders."
* DefeatEqualsExplosion: Greater flame snakes explode in a 50-foot-radius blast when slain.
* TheGreatSerpent: Greater flame snakes are certifiably Huge and capable of swallowing smaller creatures whole.



* MakeThemRot: Greater flame snakes are not just burning hot, they're suffused with negative energy, so that most of their attacks, from their BreathWeapon of black flames to the additional damage of their constrict attack, deal a mixture of fire and negative energy damage.
