The Deathshrieker is an undead spirit that embodies the screams of the dying, haunting battlefields, charnel houses, and plague sites. It roams these desolate places, filling the air with its mournful, soul-sapping cries. These vengeful spirits relive the final moments of those who died from slow, agonizing deaths, seeking to kill the living to hear their final screams. The presence of a Deathshrieker is marked by disturbing noises and whispers of the dead. Standing 5 to 6 feet tall and weightless, these apparitions speak Common and often replay the last words of hundreds of souls, creating a terrifying din​​.
