=== Bone Spirits ===
Bone Spirits, sometimes called hooks, are frightening creatures of death and putrefaction that delight in sucking bone marrow from the newly dead. This can only be experienced in a physical form, so the bone spirit will seek out a body as a temporary host. It is easier for them to set their ‘hooks’ into bodies that are long-dead, but to move freely the body must be largely whole (i.e. not yet decomposed); so the bone spirits are known to haunt the northern marshlands which provide the carcasses of many drowned traitors.  
 
They can, if they wish, move without a physical body and in spirit form they are known to attack unsuspecting sleepers in their dreams, turning a gentle slumber into a terrible nightmare which will then build the power of the spirit.
