A Psychopomp is a spirit, often a fey or an angel, that appears to mortals in order to guide their spirits into the afterlife. Celtic Mythology in particular is full of them, like the Banshee and the Dullahan.
Pathfinder[edit]
In Pathfinder, Psychopomps are the Outsiders that serve Pharasma, Goddess of Life and Death, and thusly their entire identity is bound up in keeping the souls of the dead moving from the material plane to the Boneyard to be sent on to the afterlife. The ones that said "fuck that, I wanna be evil and do my own thing" are Sahkils.
Types[edit]
- Ahmuuth: They assist mortals in destroying undead, and then usher the freed souls to the afterlife.

- Catrina: The walmart greeters of the Boneyard. They are the first ones you meet, and comfort you if you are experiencing shock or grief at finding out you're dead. They look like Dia de Muertos skeletons.
