description: 'When a living, sentient humanoid is exposed to an extreme expression
  of supernatural evil, the experience can irrevocably damn the victim, crushing their
  mind and ripping out their soul in an appalling, unholy transformation that results
  in a creature that''s anathema to life—the bodak.




  The shreds of physicality that survive this absolute corruption serve only to enhance
  the humanoid''s profoundly disturbing appearance. The bodak''s body is horrifically
  twisted, as though it''s locked in a convulsion of agony and terror. Its desiccated
  and hairless flesh bears an otherworldly, pearlescent sheen, strung taut across
  a malformed skeleton that reduces its gait to a slow shamble. But most disturbing
  of all are its eyes, set in a drooping, melted visage with scant remains of its
  former facial structure. These eyes, sunken deep into their sockets, nevertheless
  glow with an unholy light, stare with unremitting malevolence, and constantly weep
  noxious vapor.




  Fragmented memories of a prior existence filtered through a vengeful hatred of the
  living lead the bodak to try to return to those places it once knew. If successful,
  it assaults former friends, acquaintances, and loved ones with its murderous gaze
  and an incomprehensible torrent of gibberish laced with vile curses, accusations,
  and threats—an assault that often leads to the victims rising as newly formed bodaks
  themselves.
