Rhomban

"'You cut their head off, they sew it back on. You cut their sword-arm off, it continues to swing at you. You obliterate their body and grind up the remains within an adamantine meat blender... and they slither out of it and get inside a new corpse. They can't be stopped, and they can't be killed. The only peace of mind you can have about them, is that not all of them are evil.' - Rickton Lawth""'Lost your head, Rexie? Such a shame... I was looking for a good gut-up. How about you sew that on real quick, and then we'll see who's the nastier rhomban!' - Kharnon Yael to Padorexia Halmakeir" Sometimes mistaken for zombies, rhombans are a type of mythically afflicted Torian undead that inhabit a preservative, glowing yellow alchemical concoction that completely replaces their body’s blood, and thus are able to exchange their own body parts with other creatures’ without any risks, and gain complete control over any new parts. A rhomban’s soul is trapped within the alchemical concoction, and thus, they can survive without any body, and directly receive none of the damage done on their host bodies. Typically, they maintain all of the physical abilities that their host body did in life, and can swap from corpse to corpse when their own becomes too rotten or dismantled. They are most commonly known by intellectuals of unlife as the only type or form of undead that do not always align as evil creatures.

Rhombans are famous and identified not only by their yellow eyes, blood, and veins, but also by their typical abundance of stitches. Many are known to have a deep desire of retaining the bodies they had in life, and are typically keen on sewing them back together when they get torn apart.

A Rhomban is near-unkillable by all known ways, and cannot technically be permanently brought down. The only known way to completely or near-completely neutralize them (and it is still not well-known other than by the mavens of Whitefane) is to dilute their true bodies within a large body of water. Even so, they can still eventually regroup their bodies over a long time-span if the body of water they were diluted in is small enough. All rhombans that have been disposed of within one of the many seas have never been able to return, and are considered deceased.

The first-ever rhomban to exist was created by Jaxton Naullen, in Ghattenmoore of Cryasill.
