Ancient Undead

Ancient Undead are animated human corpses found in sealed tombs and ruins. They were once warriors or guardians and remain bound to a duty after everything human has gone.

Short answer. Treat sealed tombs and ancient ruins as occupied spaces. The official bestiary confirms the habitat and guardian role, but it does not yet disclose reliable combat weaknesses or drops.
