Soul Eater

Soul Eaters (ソウルイーター) are Mid-Tier undead originating from YGGDRASIL. In the New World, they are known as legendary undead that devastated a city. Ainz primarily uses them as mounts for his undead army.
== Appearance ==
Soul Eaters are skeletal horses with an aura that shines a light on their chest. They are beasts made out of bones, with tendrils of fog replacing their flesh and blood. The fog sparkled everywhere, pus yellow and emerald green.
== Abilities ==
Soul Eaters have long-range attack skills with many uses. They can receive a temporary power-up buff for killing their target through the skill, making them hard to defeat. In other words, Soul Eaters are undead with an area-affecting ability. Soul Eaters can consume the souls of the deceased for sustenance while also growing stronger the more souls they eat. Soul Eaters can radiate an aura of fear and have the ability to recover their HP with the amount of souls they consume. So long as there is a steady supply of souls to feed, their HP bar would be refilled in no time.Overlord Volume 14 Chapter 2: The Beginning of the End
They are capable of killing everyone who smells their breath of instant death. When Soul Eaters appeared in YGGDRASIL, they were almost always on-level encounters. Therefore, the chances of a player being downed by an instant death effect would only be one in a hundred or less, meaning that a Soul Eater's special ability rarely got the chance to see use.Overlord Volume 13 Chapter 4: Siege
On the other hand, in the New World, Soul Eaters suddenly become forces of mass destruction due to the lower overall power of its inhabitants. For a New World native, even facing them was next to impossible without at least a 3rd-tier magic caster present, and only someone or group of the heroic level can do anything. If one ever shows up, it becomes a crisis for all the surrounding nations to deal with. It is said that three Soul Eaters alone once appeared in a beastman city, killing over one hundred thousand beastmen.Overlord Volume 09 Chapter 4: Massacre To the countries, Maruyama stated that their presence alone is enough to cause a national state-level emergency.Overlord Volume 09 Author Thoughts
