Critical Role Liches: unimaginably evil, consumed by ambition, hell-bent on destroying life as it exists to achieve godhood and subjugate all who would oppose him, a horrific decayed corpse animated by his own grotesque power

The Adventure Zone Liches: sought lichdom to save their families, the two that turned evil were fabulous as hell and ran a game show, the other two are major heroes of the story: one is a loving and badass lady who once apologized for destroying a 10-year-old’s macaroons once by accident, the other is literally named Barry Bluejeans
