{{{description}}} On the tundra dishonor can mean worse than a smaller share of the spoils—dying in complete dishonor is a fate that even the bravest hearts fear. Cowards that die fleeing from battle may yet rise again, their bones animated by an evil wyrd that leaves them with enough of their minds to take foul vengeance on the living by slaying their loved ones. Knútadraugr still have the cunning of warriors, waiting until the dead of night before stalking back into their settlements and homes to make murder. Iced blue flesh hanging from their skulls makes them into disgusting parodies of mothers and fathers returning to the hearth to spill blood, were the hollow gaze from their eye sockets and its baleful power not terrifying enough.
