A '''Guardian Spirit''' was a type of parasite with telekinetic abilities. They would inhabit dead bodies and gain control over them, making it seem as if the body had came back to life. They could also reanimate bodies when not inside them, although they could only do this less efficiently. Their parameters of existence were confined to within close proximity of the dead, as they could not live outside a host body for long without dying.
