Stalking Death

A Stalking Death is a semi-sentient phenomena associated with the Forces of Death. When a person cheats Death somehow, the resulting vacuum in the natural order sparks a supernatural response. The survivor(s) subsequently die from seemingly bizarre deaths afterwards as Death comes to claim those who escaped it.
You can use a Stalking Death in a story in one of several ways. You could use it as just another enemy to be overcome, as a way to kill off NPC's, or you could use it to really scare your characters by having them face not an enemy of flesh-and-blood but instead a force of nature.
If you have a Resurrectionist in your story, this is the time to really make them shine.
