Fext

The fext is a bulletproof undead of central European soldiers' lore. It emerged in the seventeenth century, when the Thirty Years' War devastated Bohemia and the German lands, and the name was applied to generals who survived everything. Its single weakness is a bullet of glass. It is a rare example of a walking-dead belief created by gunpowder warfare.1
