Overlord

**Race** | * Heteromorphic Race

**Overlord** (死の支配者(オーバーロード)) is one of the high-tier heteromorphic races that players were able to pick in YGGDRASIL. It is the final form of the Elder Lich and Skeleton Mage, a powerful undead magic caster that pursues ultimate magic.

## Background

In YGGDRASIL, there were several types of monsters in the Overlord family:

### Types of Overlord

* **Overlord Wiseman**: A level 90 Overlord that was considered by Ainz to be stronger than any NPC mercenary summoned from the Great Tomb of Nazarick with YGGDRASIL gold. According to Ainz, he could only summon one Overlord Wiseman at a time, they were very powerful. Among the Overlord variants, Overlord Wiseman is an expert magic user.
* **Overlord Cronos Master**: Among the Overlord variants, Overlord Cronos Master can manipulate time through the use of time-related special abilities and skills.
* **Overlord General**: Among the Overlord variants, Overlord General is adept at controlling armies of the undead.

## Appearance

Overlord is a strong magic caster with the appearance of a skeleton, devoid of both skin and flesh. It has a dark red light glowing inside the empty eye sockets of the skull and a dark halo-like object glimmering behind its head.

## Abilities

Overlord is a powerful undead with the capability of learning potent magic spells and using them. As a magic caster, their knowledge and magical power stretch far beyond mortal limits. They are considered to be the highest-ranking undead and could use spells from the highest tiers of magic. All Overlord types naturally have high-level stats. Even the weakest variants have a minimum of 80 levels and would still possess high-level stats regardless. For Suzuki Satoru, not even the most damaging 10th tier spell, [Reality Slash] with Metamagic Enhancement is enough to instantly kill off an Overlord with one hit.
