Zombie · The Reanimated Corpse — Mindless Man-Eating Hordes of the Dead

An undead that, dead and reanimated, loses reason and craves the living. Moving slowly (or swiftly) with a rotting body, it spreads infection by bite or scratch. Rooted in the Vodou tradition of slave corpses raised by sorcery, it became in the modern era the symbol of apocalypse — hordes that topple civilization.

Ghost · The Wandering Spirit — A Soul Bound to the World by Attachment and Unfinished Story

The soul of the dead, unable to pass on due to attachment, grudge, or an unresolved story, lingering in the world of the living. In a transparent or translucent form, bound to a specific place (a haunted house, an old home), it reveals itself through poltergeist movement of objects, a cold presence, apparitions, and sounds. It may convey a message to the living or warn them.

Gremlin · The Machine-Breaking Yokai — A Prankster of the Modern Technological Age

A small, cunning modern creature that secretly breaks machines and devices. Born in the early 20th century among aircraft mechanics as an unseen being causing inexplicable malfunctions. Small and nimble and mischievous, it slips into planes, engines, and electronics to commit sabotage. The newest form of creature born of technological civilization.
