Ecology . Physical characteristics . Bodaks resembled their living form to a certain extent , being roughly the same size and shape . However , there are differences which are immediately obvious to the eye . Bodak skin were a deathly , pale white or gray , devoid of any hair at all . More eerie still is their face , which is twisted into an inhuman visage of sheer madness and horror with empty , white eyes . Like many undead creatures , bodaks have an inherent weakness against brilliant light , and therefore shun sunlight whenever they are able to . They are , however , completely invulnerable to disease or poison and have a strong resistance against the effects of necrotic power . Abilities . Bodaks possessed a number of unusual abilities granted to them by their undead state . For instance , each bodak has the capacity to gaze into the soul of a nearby creature , gravely injuring or killing them if they are already weakened , an attack often known as a “ death gaze . ” Those killed with this gaze are likely to subsequently become bodaks themselves . Similarly , bodaks project an aura of death around them , injuring and hindering the actions of any creature within roughly twenty - five feet of them . Psychology . Although mostly devoid of any semblance of their past selves , bodaks occasionally experience flashbacks of their life , an occurrence sometimes triggered within combat . In such cases , a bodak may take pause for a moment , stopping whatever it is doing . If an enemy triggered this flashback , the bodak is less likely to take effective action against the enemy for sometime thereafter .
