Description

An Arcane Horror is a special undead as it requires using body parts of demons, a difficult task as most bodies of demons rapidly decay upon death. Should a necromancer be able to preserve the parts and use them to make an Arcane Horror, they will possess a deadly creature at their disposal.

An Arcane Horror is capable of thinking, some going rogue if their creator was to weak, and posses rather intelligent minds. An Arcane Horror is able to cast a variety of spells for the purpose of offence in order to better support their fellow undead.

However, the mix of demon and undead leave an Arcane Horror open to attacks from divine beings or those who wield flame.
