The DAT Top Three – Coolest Undead Creatures
As they say, live death to the fullest. Some of the creatures who return from the grave are way cooler than others. Saints and angels might be the guardians of Heaven, but we’ve become fascinated with the undead from the wrong side of the tracks. Whether you believe they’re commanded by the devil or are simply souls doomed to wander the Earth for eternity, these creatures are the coolest undead.
