engers, including ghouls and ghasts which come to feed on it
{will tolerate most undead which do not distuzb or attack it,
‘but will attempt to kill any living creature it encounters neat
its unfinal resting place. Intelligent creatures will realize that a
coffer corpse can be a useful reat guard ifcare is taken to avoid
