Jiangshi

The malignant entity is a spectral being that wanders around the beach of Goshima. Getting close to it will result in having the player's running energy, prayer points, and life points drained, in that order. If the player is killed by the entity, it is a safe death, and they will keep all items and respawn at the Goshima docks, which is safe from the entity. Players will know if they are too close due to a large radius of black particles circling the entity.

During Final Destination, Captain Cora will tell the player about her past, and how the malignant entity is the Khan of Goshima. The Khan was the last of her royal bloodline, and adopted the young Coraline shortly after she bought her freedom from slavery. Due to this bond of being her only family, Cora became her lieutenant and right hand. When the khan began to pass away, Cora used her necromancy skills to bind her body and spirit in the form of a type of undead called a "jiangshi", which according to Sobojo during Tuai Leit's Own, is similar to the western vampyre except it sucks soul energy instead of blood. The khan slowly deteriorated from having the ability to make its own choices to being a soul-devouring monstrosity that willingly killed its own civilians and settlers, leaving a wake of fresh corpses strewn across Goshima. The spirit also has a cursing effect that can allow zombies reanimated by its power to infect other beings by sucking soul energy from them, as seen during Eye for an Eye where the Jiangshi-afflicted Jed saps life from Lookout Ekahi.

During the final act of Final Destination, the player will convince Cora to let go of her attachment to the khan and to prevent the rest of The Arc from having a zombie infestation due to the cursing power of the jiangshi. Cora will remove the seal from the khan's face, which allows it to pass on to the afterlife properly. This also cures Ekahi of his affliction and makes Goshima safe to explore after the miniquest is complete.
