What is inside
The dead walk differently in every tradition. This pack brings eight of them together: a Norse draugr with axe and shield, a zombi field worker in a straw hat, a veiled ghul with long claws, a plague dead in linen wraps with a belled belt, a drowned sailor revenant with a compass, a graveyard ghoul with a shovel, a skeletal knight with a longsword and a bog body in a woven cloak.
Each one walks in eight directions with eight frames per direction, drawn on a 144 by 144 canvas with the feet on a fixed row. Two of them, the draugr warrior and the skeletal knight, also have a rise-from-the-grave animation drawn at the same scale as their walk.
They are original designs inspired by folklore, built to share a world: one scale, one anchor, one frame rate.

From download to scene
The included README provides the pack-specific setup. These are image assets you configure in your engine.
Copy the Characters folder into your project and set the default texture filter to Nearest. Make an AnimatedSprite2D animation per direction from that direction's 8 PNGs, set the speed to 10 FPS and the node's offset to (0, -39) so the feet sit on the origin.
Import the PNGs as Sprite (2D and UI) with Filter Mode Point and Compression None. For a walk sheet use Sprite Mode Multiple and slice a 144 by 144 grid. Set a custom pivot of (0.5, 0.2292).
Create a sprite per direction, import its 8 PNGs and set the origin to (72, 111). Set the animation speed to 10 frames per second and turn off colour interpolation in the game options.
