Noticed something about undead.

Had a thought and wanted to toss it by you all. I noticed that nearly every race has a race-specific undead. Dwarves have banshees, elves have dune-runners. Half-Giants are a magical race, Kreen are bugs, humans get all the usual undead critters (zombies, skeletons, etc). Out of the original "real" races, though, there's nothing for halflings. That strikes me as odd. Shouldn't they have a race-specific undead? A forest gobbler? Swish-plop? Who knows...

(Swish-plop is from a "horror" story my mom told me when I was a kid. Scared the crap out of me. Looking back, I have no idea why.)

Giant shadow, like Umbra in the Prism Pentad? (they are halfling servant of Rajaat) It sure is a creature from the black, but it could be taken as a undead.

That's a good point, but I was under the impression that those were "Rajaat-specific." Besides, that seems a bit powerful for a standard racial undead. Even so, the Halflings were the first race, if legend is to be believed.

Dhaots - but they're not scary.

Hum Dhaots can be any races type, it's just some peoples that died far from their home and raised as undead to find their way back.

The little things from:

The Mummy Returns

That's what they'd become!
