Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. It moves with a lurching gait, each lunging step seemingly out of rhythm with the next. Its skin is the gray of a corpse's cold flesh, and is stretched taught across the face like a poorly fitted mask. Cold, dead eyes glare forth, overshadowing a gaping mouth of broken teeth, each tooth sheathed in tattered meat and dried gore. The creature utters an aching moan from its cracked throat, and raises gnarled fingers in preparation...
2. It floats above the ground, pearly, translucent. Swirling protoplasm characterizes this being as a member of the undead, and its drifting stride categorizes it within the spirit world. Trapped forever in this realm, it utters an inaudible, mournful sigh and slides through the far wall.
3. She moves with an eerie grace, floating barely an inch above the ground. She is a wisp of a female, with a trailing veil concealing her face. She hovers in the far corner, just beyond the dead child's corpse. Rising from her lips is a terrible wail, one of dreadful grief and pain, that keens in harmony to the lamentations of the dead.
4. Standing alone in the shadows, he is the pale white of exposed bone. No flesh or skin sheaths the jointed limbs, with long, slender and wickedly sharp fingers. Upon the interlaced ribs rests a glaring skull devoid of eyes, and in its right hand is a longsword of interlocked bones.
5. The tomb is old, covered in the dust of ages. Slowly, in the central chamber, beyond the vision of the world, a sarcophagus lid rises. From the depths of the grave appears a broad, snarling figure with taught, stretched flesh. Upon its chest rests a glimmering amulet that pulses with contained power and rage.
6. He appears a normal man, but his flesh is cold and moist, and he stalks the night with faintly glowing eyes of crimson. However, that which gives him his title are the long, serrated fangs that gleam within a reddened mouth.
7. The ravenous spirit descends upon the grave, seeking the flesh beneath the soil. Manifested as a grotesquely deformed human, he digs at the dirt with clawed fingers until the corpse beneath is revealed for his consumption.
8. "After a moment something about the size of a small horse hopped out into the grey twilight, and Carter turned sick at the aspect of that scabrous and unwholesome beast, whose face is so curiously human despite the absence of a nose, a forehead, and other important particulars." - Lovecraft's "The Dreamlands"
9. He was once a feared mage, but he is now caught between life and death. Having preserved his life force, he controls the magic of death and necromancy, and is, in essence, immortal.
10. In the vast majority of traditions, are the undead immortal?
