Editing Lich (section)

===Boneclaw===
Boneclaws first appeared as a fairly generic-fluffed undead mook in the [[Monster Manual]] 3 for 3rd edition, and were refluffed in 4e's MM1 as an [[undead]] [[construct]] created by [[hag]]s, using the assembled carcasses of [[ogre]]s and trapping the spirit of a slain [[oni]] in it for brains/motivation. In 5e, boneclaws are retconned into the result of a failed attempt to become a lich. If the soul fails to go into the phylactery, it instead binds to a random evil humanoid, [[Fail|whom the boneclaw becomes enslaved to]]. The boneclaw is permanently destroyed only when the humanoid it is bonded with dies or stops being evil.
