'''Deathtouched''' is a racial category akin to [[Planetouched]] that is used to collectively refer to races who bear the influence of the [[undead]] in their ancestry. Officially, these consist of five races; the half-[[vampire]] ([[Dhampir]]), the half-[[ghost]] ([[Fetch]]), the half-[[zombie]] ([[Ghedan]]), the half-[[ghoul]] ([[Ghul]]), and the [[Mortif]], the descendant of one of the "half-dead" races.

The term Deathtouched has never appeared in official [[Ravenloft]] media. It was introduced to the greater D&D lexicon in the article "Born of Death" for Dragon Magazine #313, for Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition. Whilst the dhampir had been introduced to Ravenloft in its 3rd edition revival, the article did not reference Ravenloft or the [[Demiplane of Dread]] in its content. It even names its half-vampire as the ''Khatane'' race instead.

The concept of Deathtouched as native Ravenloft races was explored in the netbook article [[A Primer to the Umbral Peoples]] in [[Quoth the Raven Issue 28]].
