When a Lich has not rejuvenated its phylactery with souls, its body slowly erodes and falls away, leaving only the skull of its former carcass. Still dwelling in the labarynthine corridors and rooms that the former Lich called its lair, it seeks to merely exist, having forgotten to ply its phylactery with souls. When disturbed, the skull activates to defend its sanctum, rising wraith-like to ward off intruders by emitting a howl that can kill the weak-hearted. So long as the demilich's phylactery remains intact, it cannot be permanently destroyed. But, even by committing one soul to its phylactery, its body and memories of spells begins to return as it takes on some semblance of its Lich form once more. Instinct: To survive

• Steals the vitality of its' target within 10ft of it, gaining the life points it takes from the target.
