Revenant

A Revenant is a early 19th century terminology which it's literal meaning is "coming back", as the word revenant is derived from Old French, which can also mean the "returning" but in some cases when used as a noun/verb depending on the subject it's also called revenir.
Revenants are apart of multiple folklore, legends, and myths throughout various cultures, they are mostly included in the Old Irish Celtic and Norse mythologies, where a physical corpse is reanimated and or when a visible spirit that is believed to have been revived from the spirit world or death itself where they are sent to complete their unfinished business, cause trouble for the living, and or haunting the living who deserved it aka did them wrong, not all will categorize under this so beware when reading.
==Different Types & Traits==
Image	Description 	Traits
 	The most known type is the undead version which can be found in literature as Draugr, Ghouls, Lich,
Mummy/Mummies, Skeletons, and Zombies, these are the most known versions within cultures, these are entities that are directly opposite to Vampires in terms of their degeneration and their need for living.	Revenant Zombies are far more different than the typical modernization of the term "Zombie" and "Undead" thanks to George Romero's Night of the Living Dead as a Revenant Zombie or Revenant Undead is a entity that retains their past memories, as they are intelligent, posse super strength, and some may posse a degree of a Healing Factor, and so they do not need to sleep, eat, or drink, they are corpse revived to either sort out unfinished businesses or to just cause havoc a prime example for this is Jason Voorhees from the Friday the 13th Series where he is brought back to life as a decayed corpse but yet he seeks to kill the living for his own personal goal, another trait is how tough they are to kill as most physical attacks will not directly stop them usually dismemberment or completely burning the body will cease their existence.
 	Vampires are also a very known type of undead but are different from their brethren the Revenant Zombies, as they are known as the Blood suckers/Blood drinkers, Vamps, Dhampirs, Ghoul, and Dracs.	Vampires aka Revenant Vampires are revived corpses but they do need to Drink and Sleep, they retain their memories as well and gain numerous abilities mostly Super Strength, Super Speed, Flight, Shapeshifting, and Regeneration, but at the cost they can be easily killed either by decapitation, fire, a stake through the heart, or simple by some myths with sunlight, they are the 2nd strongest for a reason but due to multiple flaws, and a perfect example is Count Dracula,
 	The third known revenant aka revenant spirits are the most uncommon known as they are simply interchangeably with Ghosts" but with some very uncommon traits listed below. 	Revenant Spirits are mostly bounded to a place or location, and unlike Ghosts these beings CAN be physical and visible to humans, they can interact with objects/people, speak, and cause serious issues for those they haunt, unlike regular ghosts a revenant is ONLY defeated once they find peace either by the violence's of vengeance or by the peace of justice, they either use humans to conjure themselves or simple just exist, a prime example for this is Victor Crowley from the Hatchet franchise, as he isn't a zombie but a spirit who brutally kills people and once survivors believe he is dead, he just resurrects at his home as if nothing works physically, unlike both the Revenant Zombies and Revenant Vampires, who can by stopped by physical means.
 	These are the Complex Revenants where something revives someone back to life but they don't decay but yet they are immortal, very similar to a Dhampir who is half vampire and half human. 	Prime example is Eric Draven from The Crow, he is an entity who was brutally murdered and was alive, and his feats include immense strength, immense durability, and the inability to feel pain, making the complex revenants much more harder to keep down but yet are also easy to kill, like the rest once they complete their goal they cease to exist, and return back to where they came after their original death.
