Deathmays

Deathmays are a type of creature found in the popular online role-playing game World of Warcraft. They are classified as undead and are typically encountered in zones inhabited by the Scourge, a faction of undead beings. Deathmays are often depicted as skeletal figures wielding scythes, and their appearance suggests a connection to death and the afterlife.

In the game's lore, deathmays are not a distinct race or species but rather manifestations of death or animated corpses imbued with necromantic energy. They are often used as foot soldiers or servants by more powerful undead entities, such as Death Knights or Liches. Their primary role in combat is to overwhelm opponents with their numbers and relentless attacks.

When encountered by players, deathmays are usually aggressive and will attack on sight. They possess abilities that are typical of undead creatures, such as life drain or chilling effects. Defeating deathmays is a common task for players seeking to progress through certain areas or complete quests related to combating the Scourge. Their presence reinforces the grim and dangerous atmosphere of the zones they inhabit. While not considered particularly powerful individually, their constant threat contributes to the overall challenge of facing the undead forces.
