A Demonic Coffin Maker in Dungeons & Dragons is not an official creature or character but rather a thematic concept often associated with horror and gothic settings like Curse of Strahd. Such a character could be a sinister undertaker, necromancer, or fiend-touched artisan who constructs cursed coffins imbued with dark magic, trapping souls or raising undead.

In Ravenloft, Henrik van der Voort, the coffin maker in Vallaki, is an example of this archetype. He is a mortal who unwittingly becomes an instrument of darkness, storing vampire spawn for Strahd. A true Demonic Coffin Maker, however, might be a fiendish entity or a warlock who forges coffins that corrupt or entrap those who lie within. These cursed coffins might turn the dead into powerful undead servitors, siphon life essence, or even serve as portals to demonic realms.

Mechanically, such a figure could be a necromancer wizard, fiend-pact warlock, or a homebrewed creature with abilities related to creating undead or binding spirits. A Demonic Coffin Maker NPC could be a chilling quest-giver, villain, or reluctant ally, dealing in forbidden funerary rites. Their workshop might be filled with sinister materials—iron-bound caskets carved with infernal runes, bones infused with dark energy, and spirits bound to twisted wood.

For adventurers, encountering a Demonic Coffin Maker presents moral dilemmas. Do they destroy these cursed creations, risking the wrath of their creator, or attempt to redeem them? Perhaps the coffin maker is a tragic figure, forced into servitude by a greater fiend. Whether as a villain, patron, or reluctant ally, a Demonic Coffin Maker adds layers of horror and mystery, making them a compelling addition to any dark fantasy campaign.
