Grave Hunters look like skeletal humanoids with big bat wings springing from their spine. Even though they are alive despite their appearance they are obsessed with undeath and necromancy. They would rather study death, undeath, and the undead to find newer ways to make undead. They commonly capture mortals to conduct experiments on them so they can find better ways to do what they do best make better undead. They have increased the power of any necromancer that has summoned them.
