Origin[]
A Revenant is a corporeal ghost or zombie-like creature from folklore that was said to return from the grave to exact revenge upon the living or simply to terrorize people. In the original medieval tales, Revenants often returned from the grave simply to cause trouble for the living and could spread disease and misery (much like early versions of vampires). However, in later adaptations of the legend Revenants would develop more of a purpose and often returned from the grave in order to avenge themselves or others, either as an angry spirit or as a literal walking corpse.
