ANTHROPOPHAGUS
While not undead themselves, these corpseherds
bear down on the aftermath of battle fields, reanimating the
strewn dead and consuming the irreparable. These beings loom
up eight feet, headless with unreadable faces set in their
chests, mumbling to each other as they collect their cattle
and return to the hills.
"And portance in my travels' history;
Wherein of antres vast and deserts idle,
Rough quarries, rocks, and hills whose heads touch heaven,
It was my hint to speak- such was the process-
And of the Cannibals that each other eat,
The Anthropophagi, and men whose heads
Do grow beneath their shoulders."
Othello
-William Shakespeare
