      Skeleton wizards are liches.

      Also Pathfinder WotR lets you do some pretty wacky combos like a dhampir angel, or a kitsune gold dragon.

      Dracoliches (skeleton dragon wizards) are also a thing in D&D.

        Yeah I think DND 3e had some wacky stuff with templates. Big effective level penalties if I recall for most of them

          No shit, in my first book, there’s a zombie bigfoot. Well, not the standard bigfoot, a variant, and it wasn’t “just” a zombie, it had other powers and stuff.

          But hybrid beasties are fun

            As someone who occasionally peers into the Bigfoot fandom, trans-dimensional, alien Bigfoot is a thing. As in, the reason we haven’t found him yet is because he can disappear into portals. Sort of like “The Long Earth” but instead of Terry Pratchett it’s poorly written youtube scripts with AI thumbnails.

            Man, the long earth series is so fucking good. It isn’t as well known as his discworld stuff, obviously, and it isn’t fantasy based in the usual sense, but the story arc over the series is just so well built, and the world building is a delight.

              This is basically what DnD was made for with the multi class system. You can do all sorts of fun combos.

                    The Forgotten Realms has most of these

                    Vampire Dragons: https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Vampiric_dragon

                    Demon Unicorns: https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Black_unicorn

                    Skeleton Wizards: https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Lich

                    Fey Werewolves: https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Brokenstone_Vale

                    The only think I don’t have on hand are angel ghosts and lochness mothmen in the Forgotten Realms, though I think you probably could find the former.

                        Speaking of Liches, how are demiliches more powerful than regular liches?

                        1. Demi usually means “lesser,” like demi-gods aren’t as powerful as gods.

                        2. The monster manual I have depicts demiliches as nothing but a jewel encrusted skull. They don’t even have a body!

                        IIRC there are two kinds of demilich. One is the remains of a lich which has become powerful enough to transcend the need for a physical body, and is more powerful than a lich; the other is the remains of a lich who failed to feed their phylactery, and is less powerful.

                        Edit: 2014 MM page 49:

                        The immortality granted to a lich lasts only as long as it feeds mortal souls to its phylactery. If it falters or fails in that task, its bones turn to dust until only its skull remains. This “demilich” contains only a fragment of the lich’s malevolent life force- just enough so that if it is disturbed, these remains rise into the air and assume a wraithlike form. The skull then emits a terrifying howl that can slay the weak-hearted and leave others trembling with fear. Left alone, it sinks back down and returns to the empty peace of its existence.

                        Few liches seek to become demiliches, for it means an end to the existence they hoped to preserve by becoming undead. However, time can erode the lich’s reason and memory, causing it to retreat into its ancient tomb and forget to feed on souls. The spells it once knew fade from its mind, and it no longer channels the arcane energy it wielded as a lich. However, even as a mere skull it remains a deadly and vexing enemy.

                        And the sidebar:

                        The transformation into a demilich isn’t a bitter end for all liches that experience it. Made as a conscious choice, the path of the demilich becomes the next step in a dark evolution. The lich Acererak-a powerful wizard and demonologist and the infamous master of the Tomb of Horrors-anticipated his own transformation, preparing for it by setting enchanted gemstones into his skull’s eye sockets and teeth. Each of these soul gems possessed the power to capture the souls on which his phylactery would feed.

                        Acererak abandoned his physical body, accepting that it would molder and dissolve to dust while he traveled the planes as a disembodied consciousness. lfthe skull that was his last physical remains was ever disturbed, its gems would claim the souls of the insolent intruders to his tomb, magically transferring them to his phylactery.

                        Liches who follow Acererak’s path believe that by becoming free of their bodies, they can continue their quest for power beyond the mortal world. As their patron did, they secure their remains within well-guarded vaults, using sou l gems to maintain their phylacteries and destroy the adventurers who disturb their lairs.

                              Yeah, I fantasize about moving “sideways” often. Wherever I am, I wonder what that location is like in the untouched East/West + 1. Then I remember I have some medical metal in my body. It’s not critical, but it would be a little worrisome to jump back and see it sitting on the ground.

                                  I was trying to figure out how many you could stack, just going by the SRD. I think the best you can do is:

                                  Ghost Half-Dragon Half-Field Petitioner Worm that Walks Demilich Lich Pseudonatural Vampire Celestial Lycanthrope Fiendish Phrenic Paragon Human

                                  That has everything but Skeleton, Zombie, and Half-Celestial. Skeleton and Zombie make you mindless (which keeps you from becoming a Worm that Walks) and require a skeleton (which a Worm that Walks doesn’t have). Half-Celestial requires you be good or neutral, and turns you into an outsider, which only a Worm that Walks or Half-Dragon could undo. And it would work great with Half-Fiend if it wasn’t for each one forcing an alignment the other restricts. I don’t think any of the ones that don’t change creature type change alignment.

                                      Sorry, best I can do is vampires again. If you’re good, I’ll also toss in a society of werewolves that they are in constant war with for some reason.

                                        Skeleton dragons… no, wait, that’s a thing. Also zombie dragons.

                                          FlakyPastry webcomic has a Dragon Unicorn later on. Dragons are pretty diverse there.
