A Lich, often referred to as the "Supreme Vermin" in Dungeons & Dragons, is a powerful and malevolent undead creature. It is typically the result of a wizard or sorcerer seeking immortality through dark rituals, where they transform themselves into an undead being by binding their soul to a phylactery. This object serves as the vessel for the Lich’s essence, allowing them to persist even if their physical form is destroyed. The process is grueling and usually involves the sacrifice of others and the use of forbidden magic.

As a Lich, the creature gains vast magical power and is granted immunity to age, disease, and most physical ailments. Their bodies may appear as decayed, skeletal husks, often draped in tattered robes, and their presence radiates an aura of malevolence. Liches are known for their cunning intellect, and their insatiable hunger for knowledge and control drives them to continue seeking out secrets, often at the expense of innocent lives.

Liches are often seen as manipulators and schemers, operating from the shadows or from within the walls of their dark lairs. Their influence can stretch far and wide, using their undead minions, or even controlling other powerful beings. Though their magic is formidable, their vulnerability lies in the phylactery, which must be destroyed to truly defeat the Lich. Until this object is shattered, they can continually regenerate, rising from death time and again.

As the "Supreme Vermin," a Lich is an embodiment of fear and unrelenting pursuit of power. They are often portrayed as masterminds behind dark plots, seeking to expand their dominion and ensure their unending rule over life and death.
