Revenant

A revenant is like a zombie or a ghost. It is a creature that was once dead but has come back to life or returned from the dead. However, unlike zombies, revenants are often thought to have returned for a specific purpose, like seeking revenge on someone who wronged them when they were alive. They can also be created by dark magic or curses.

Revenants are usually depicted as really scary and creepy, with pale skin, sunken eyes, and raggedy clothes. They can’t be killed easily and are usually immune to common weapons. Revenants are often associated with horror stories and legends, especially in European folklore.
