Draugr

The draugr are dead warriors who refuse to rest. They claw their way out of the earth before the hero, fanning out one by one. Most of them fear fire; each type has its own resistance.

Each type’s life and damage are shown relative to a standard monster of the same level (current game values). beta

Draugr Thrall

The weakest of them, but they come in groups — and they’re the ones the Sorcerer and the Jarl summon.

Species	Behavior	Life	Damage	Weak to	Resists
Draugr Thrall	Melee	×0.55	×0.7	Physical -20%	Ice +20%

Wandering Draugr

The common draugr: melee, no tricks.

Wandering Draugr	Melee	×1.4	×1.15	Fire -20%	—

Draugr Warrior

Armored: takes less damage. Appears as a Champion at the Shrine of Tyr.

Draugr Crossbowman

Shoots from afar (11 m). Each bolt is telegraphed before it’s fired. The Guardian’s Protect tactic makes the hero go after him first.

Draugr Crossbowman	Ranged	×0.9	×1.15	Fire -20%	—

Draugr Sorcerer

Casts area ice up to 12 m away and summons 2 thralls. High priority: he’s the target of the Dead Grove’s objective (“Silence the grove’s sorcerer”).

Draugr Sorcerer	Caster	×1.05	×1.6	—	Seiðr +20%

In mythology

In the Icelandic sagas, the draugr are dead men who guard their own barrows and treasures. They have superhuman strength, can swell in size and reek of decay. Putting a draugr down for good often meant cutting off its head and burning the body — hence the fire.
