==Behavior==
Geists sometimes accompany zombies. They usually try to stay behind them, screaming at your squad from a few tiles of distance. If your resolve if very high, they give up and instead fight in melee, using their touch. It is not uncommon for them to wait if someone is fleeing, to be able to break his [[morale]] after a sergeant uses [[Rally the Troops]] to restore it.

They can traverse steep cliffs (verify).

Graveyards sometimes have nothing but a lot of Geists guarding them.

Geists don't drop any loot.

Their Horrific Scream causes four morale checks with no modifier.

==Tips== 

*They have only 1 HP and rely on evasion, which increases with distance. [[Battle Whip|Whips]] have good reach, but you need high melee skill to reliably hit with them. [[Spears]] and especially [[Three-Headed Flail|Three-Headed Flails]] have good chances to kill them, but require being at melee distance. [[Ranged Weapons|Ranged weapons]] are almost useless.
*Stand in your [[Battle Standard|banner]]'s resolve aura to resist their screams and be affected by [[Rally the Troops]].
*As Rally The Troops doesn't always work, it is wise to have more than one brother having this perk.
*Horrific Scream is a mental attack, so [[Witchhunter (Background)|Witchhunters]], [[Undead Trophy]], [[Protective Runes and Sigils]] and [[Mad]] trait are effective against it.
*They are faster that any other undead and will get ahead of them if you move backwards, especially on bad terrain.
*Ghastly Touch ignores armor, but not [[Nimble]].
*A [[Flask of Blessed Water]] instantly kills a Geist but is too precious to spend on it.
