Revenant

A revenant is a form of undead that is created when a powerful demon, usually that of desire or pride, possesses a corpse. Revenants have access to a few forms of magic, usually of a utilitarian nature, which assists with its primarily-martial fighting style.
== Background ==
== Involvement ==
=== Dragon Age: Origins ===
There are two types of revenants in encountered: one is considered undead, and thus has +75% cold resistance, -25% fire resistance, and is immune to nature damage. The other type is considered a demon, and thus has +50% fire resistance and +5% spirit resistance.
Eleven revenants can be found during the campaign, as a part of four separate quests:
: - six boss-level revenants are trapped in glass phylacteries

:* (Quaint Hovel, Denerim)
=== Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening ===
It is possible to encounter revenants in Blackmarsh after escaping the Fade. Fade Portals will spawn various undead and demonic enemies, including revenants, though those that are encountered will be elite level and far easier to dispatch than the boss counterparts encountered in Dragon Age: Origins.
=== The Golems of Amgarrak ===
Several Warped Watcher revenants are trapped in-between the Veil in Amgarrak Thaig. Only one will be of boss rank, all others encountered will be lieutenant.
