Description

A Draugr is the undead remains of an ancient king, generally found only in its ancient crypt. It appears as a skeleton wearing antique plate mail. A draugr usually wields a two-handed sword in combat. It can see invisible opponents.

Once per turn, a draugr can breathe a cone of ice out to 10 feet in front of it. Anyone caught in this cloud of frozen mist must make a saving throw against magic or be stunned (-2 to AC, in addition to losing any Dexterity and shield bonuses) and unable to act for one round. Spell-casters who fail their saving throw are unable to cast any spell for the remainder of the round.

As with all undead, a draugr can be Turned by a Cleric (as a vampire), and are immune to Sleep, charm or hold spells.
