Geists are hideous crawling, gangrel creatures of the Scourge. Geists have hangman's ropes around their necks and at least some of them are executed criminals reborn as undead. Agile and quick despite their crawling gait, they are one of the lower-ranking forms of undead. Aside from use in combat, geists see a lot of service as manual labor. Despite their gagged, hooded faces (dominated by only one eye) and muffled, harsh cackling, geists are capable of coherent speech after clearing their throats.

After being freed from the grasp of the Lich King, some geists have regrouped against him under the banner of Highlord Darion Mograine as members of the Knights of the Ebon Blade.

Trivia

• Geist is a German word for "ghost". In English, the word is most notably part of poltergeist ("pounding ghost").
• They are called "Spuk" (Spook) in the German version.
• The rogue Tier 10 sets, Shadowblade's Battlegear and Sanctified Shadowblade's Battlegear, are themed after the geist. Ikfirus the Vile, who is wearing the set and sells it to Horde rogues, is referred to as a "Geist Lord" in a piece of concept art for the set.
