Ta-Fa-Lisch

Dwarves rarely become Undead. Exceptions, such as the Ta-Fa-Lisch of Rhudaur, are the result of powerful magical influences. Remnants of the Petty-Dwarves, the Ta-Fa-Lisch are magically linked to nuggets of a rare, cursed mineral called Crospar. When these nuggets were destroyed, the Dwarvish spirits became free.

Small but terrifying, the Ta-Fa-Lisch appear as shadowy forms with glowing eyes and teeth. They can see in the most impenetrable darkness and can only be struck by weapons when they attack. Soundless, they sneak up upon their victims to slay them, preferably by cutting the throat. They are so frightening that all who face them must make a RR vs a 5th levelF e a r spell.
