Lich

Lich is an undead creature that were spellcasters of great power, usually a wizard, but also possibly a sorcerer or cleric when they were alive. In Royal Road, they typically serve as the boss monsters in dungeons.

Description

• Liches are depicted as being clearly cadaverous, bodies desiccated or completely skeletal.
• Often such a creature is the result of a transformation, as a powerful magician skilled in necromancy or a king striving for eternal life using spells or rituals to bind his intellect and soul to a phylactery and thereby achieving a form of immortality.

Undead Information

• A lich (/ˈlɪtʃ/;[1] from Old English 'līċ' meaning 'corpse') is a type of undead creature.
• Unlike a Zombie for example, a lich retains independent thought and is usually at least as intelligent as it was prior to its transformation.
• Liches are often depicted as holding power over hordes of lesser undead creatures, using them as soldiers and servants.

Trivia

• Famous NPC Lich
  • Royal Road includes a few high level liches, like Bar Khan or Shire. Both are named NPC and highly dangerous. Bar Khan even became an Arch Lich.
  • Weed used the One Eyed Lich sculpture and his Sculptural Shapeshifting skill to repetetively turn himself into a Lich during his trip to the Forbidden Zones. He is even using the so called "Bar Khan" Set.
