	A "Deadite" is a person, animal, severed or attached limb, plant, or (rarely) inanimate object possessed by a host of minor Kandarian spirits. Deadites can be described as evil demonic zombies and are the main antagonists of the ''[[Evil Dead (1981 franchise)]]''. The person possessed by the Deadite is totally overwhelmed by the Kandarian Demon's main consciousness, with the resulting Deadite having access to all the ~~hosts~~ memories and behaviour; for all intents and purposes, Deadites are Kandarian Demons, and the Kandarian Demons are Deadites. Deadites may claim to be demons from "Hell", though it is unknown whether this is the Hell of scripture, or merely the Deadites' term for a similar place of torture. The Deadites may behave like an efficient network, all connected to each other in the form of a sort of "hive mind", sharing common memories, goals, etc.		A "Deadite" is a person, animal, severed or attached limb, plant, or (rarely) inanimate object possessed by a host of minor Kandarian spirits.

	Human Deadites may vary in form, often displaying white eyes with no pupil or hollow black eyes, reverberated voice, distorted facial features, sharpened teeth, altered hands, skin tone change perhaps due to rapid corruption and decay (grey, yellow, rosey or white) and differently-colored blood and fluids (white, dark or light red, black or green). Among the supernatural abilities of a Deadite include superhuman strength and stamina, levitation, invulnerability to knife cuts and minor gun shots or other physical wounds that are not involved with the brain. Sometimes, perhaps given enough time, they can alter their overall body structure, or even grow extra limbs from the inside of their bodies; among the most dramatic changes they can sustain is the conversion into a bat-winged brownish creature which no longer resembles the former human form anymore. Deadites can also create hallucinations that change their aspect in order to deceive people, but the effect lasts just a few minutes.
