Draugr possesses superhuman strength, and is "generally hideous to look at", bearing a necrotic black or blue color, and is associated with a "reek of decay" or more precisely inhabited haunts that often issued foul stench. Any mean, nasty, or greedy person can become a draugr. The draugr is a "corporeal ghost" with a physical tangible body and not an "imago", and in tales it is often delivered a "second death" by destruction of the enlivened corpse.
