The Revenir

== Biography ==
Revenir are walking corpses (or ghosts that have a more physical, visible form) that have their minds and personalities intact. 
Usually, they rose from their graves to spread terror among the living; in life they were often wicked, vain, wrongdoers or unbelievers however some are restless souls whose obsession with something or someone is so strong they rise up from their grave, and in some versions they cannot be killed permanently; they just come back again and again until their driving obsession is nullified. These creatures often were linked with spreading diseases, and in order to have them stay in their graves for good, people would often do exhumations of them and decapitate them, or rip out and burn their heart. Some stories even had them drink blood, a trait also associated with vampires.
