Many suits of armour adorn castle hallways, though not all are mundane. Some might be constructs, though would-be burglars and assailants fear haunted armour most of all. These undead creatures are made by binding a spirit, usually that of the armour's former wearer, into the suit, empowered by mystic runes etched on the inside, granting it not only strength, but intellect, as they carve their opponents down to size with blade and shield in gauntleted hand. Undead Nature. A haunted armour doesn't require air, food, drink, or sleep.
