Ghinis are somewhat spherical, floating, somewhat transparent specters colored white, whitish-blue, whitish-pink. A ghini's body is mostly a large head, encompassing one huge eye and a gigantic protruding tongue. This head is adorned with a pair of hands on either side, and but otherwise body. They are known to most often be found in abandoned graveyards, or other mass gatherings of corpses that have been left unattended but not fully decayed. Eerie Ambushers. These spirits seem to rest within their former shells wherever they reside. When their grave is disturbed, such as by bumping into their gravestone, the ghini abruptly phases out from its body to attack the source of its ire. If left alone, the ghost will usually return to its place of rest. A rare few are outwardly malicious, curious, or mischevious, and will seek the world beyond their grave. Most ghini only have partial sentience, and few if any have recollections of their former lives. Undead Nature. A ghini does not require air, food, drink, or sleep. |
