Skylark posted:You raise an interesting point... So were litches actually first invented for Dungeons and Dragons? I thought all the monsters in that were traditional and existed in various folk traditions or whatever. well there was Koschei the Deathless in Russian myth. He was basically the first lich: he was an rear end in a top hat wizard who couldn't die unless you found his soul, and he hid his soul in a needle inside an egg inside a duck inside a hare inside an iron chest buried under a tree on an island in the middle of the ocean.

Abandon posted:are the draugr in skyrim liches, mummies or zombies? i need to know for tax purposes I'd say they're zombies. They don't have phylacteries, so that's out the window, and they don't have bandages on, so they aren't classified as mummies.
