: I always thought that Myrms wern't undead at all, they
: bargained for neverending life and they got it,
: without realizing that their wish would be perverted
: (as almost always happens in stories of this nature)
: to mean that they would live forever but their bodies
: would continue to age. A myrm is what a several
: hundred year old man would look like.
Even a several hundred year old man would have a lower jaw, I think. :-) And they are killed by heals. Their immortality is the same as that of a Shade--a conscious mind in an undead body. Except that, unlike Shades, they didn't know what they were getting--and they're not super-mages, so it's not worth it to them.
