 Hollow 

Species: Undead, Zomibe sub-species.

Habitats: Graveyards, abandon towns, deep woods.

Dispotition: Feral, lustful, desperate

Diet: Men's spirit energy

Description: A hollow is what an undead can become, a mere shell of it's former self. Normally when a human dies and is resurrected, they will have two energies in their souls. One is spirit energy, which holds the previous identity of the one resurrected. Another is demonic energy, the magic responsible for not only bringing the once back to life, but to keep and preserve the spiritual energy within them. Very rarely, talented necromancers can increase the spiritual energy within the body with the usage of demonic energy.

However, what happens when the spirit energy of an undead dies out. The answer is that they die with them.

When the spiritual energy fizzles out, so will the memories and soul of the undead. They will lose everything about themselves and will become nothing more than a simple container of demonic enery lusting for fornication. For that is only thing that they can remember to do, as Demonic energy circulates through their veins controlling their actions.

To see a loved one turned hollow is a fate some would say is worse than death.

There are many ways the spiritual energy of the resurreccted can be depleted to the point where they go hollow. One is to be killed over and over again only to resurreccted everytime, causing the spiritual energy within them to go out bit by bit. Another to have it forcefully pulled out by powerful magic. Some say if you lose hope your spiritual energy will dwindle as it does not find any reason to continue to walk in the plains of the living and merely wish to pass on. One more way is to be starved of spiritual energy for years, sometimes even decades, in which you will begin to lose your sanity, before turning hollow.

A hollow is aggresive as it desperately tries to regain it's former self. It will assault anyone in an attempt to accept spiritual energy inside of them. Men will assault their loved ones, while women would do the same or target a male that happens to walk past them.

A woman who is hollow and has caught a man will violently chake their hips on top of a man. They will try everything to milk their seed from them, to accept any kind of spiritual energy. They will lick, kiss, suck and more to ensure they take in as much as possible. Intercourse with a hollow is said to be very rough and in the eyes of higher-ranking monsters sad and pathetic.

Thankfull hollowing can be reversed, if temporarily until the conditions in which caused the hollowing occur again.

The only way hollowing can be reversed is to accept large amounts of spiritual energy inside them. Wheter by sexaul intercourse or by assistance by mages who are willing to help. Once enough spiritual energy is absorbed they will slowly regain their memories, as the demonic energy that once preserved it shapes the newly acquired spiritual energy into the shape of the one resurrected. How long the hollowing last is dependent on how long they have been hollow. It could take months for those who have hollow for years, sometimes even years for those even longer. Even sadly is that there are cases where their hollowing can not be reversed.

A hollow who is slain will not get back up after. No matter how strong ones necromancy is, a hollow who is slain has nothing else to allow itself to be resurrected with. Using the body will only make it more akin to a golem than an undead.

Keep your loved ones safe from hollowing, show them as much love as possible. And if they do go hollow, then give them even more love so that they can return to their former selfs.
