Draugr

Draugr are undead creatures from Norse mythology, often depicted as revenants or spirits of warriors who have returned from the grave. They are typically animated corpses possessing superhuman strength, resilience, and sometimes magical abilities. Draugr are known to haunt burial sites or ancient ruins, guarding treasures and terrorizing the living. Unlike zombies in modern fiction, draugr often retain intelligence and malevolent intent, making them formidable adversaries. Their stories reflect themes of death, loyalty, and the dangers of disturbing the dead, serving as symbolic warnings within Norse cultural beliefs.
