Welcome to part two of my rinky-dink
series on what I've learned from brief research about ghouls,
revenants and zombies. You can click here
for the section on ghouls.
The Revenant
Having a
revenant sounds cool, but Wikipedia defines it as a ghost or an
animated corpse similar to a vampire* so not sold.
In some
folklore, it's a person who returns to harass neighbors and family*.
Nothing special, like another ghost there.
I
do like the other definition it offers: a dead hero brought back by a
wizard to go on some quest no one else would brave, under the
wizard's control. It also referenced Jason (Friday
the 13th)
as a revenant, and the protagonist of The
Crow. Side fact: I
have never actually seen that movie.
My
experience with revenants has been through the Final
Fantasy
series, a stronger version of a zombie (causing life-drain when it
attacked. Like a vampire, if I recall). They're mentioned as
spreading disease among the living, which I could make use of.
I'm undecided on revenants.
