Some fanart for the Locked Tomb, featuring a bone construct depicted in the book. The description is copied below.

"When her eyes cleared, Gideon was confronted with the biggest skeletal construct she had ever seen. The room was full of it, bluely aflame with Isaac’s light, a massed hallucination of bones. It was bigger by far than the one in Response, bigger than anything recorded in a Ninth history textbook. It had assembled itself into the room by no visible means, since it never could have fit through one of the doors. It was just simply, suddenly there, like a nightmare—a squatting, vertiginous hulk; a nonsense of bones feathering into long, spidery legs, leaning back on them fearfully and daintily; trailing jellyfish stingers made up of millions and millions of teeth all set into each other like a jigsaw. It shivered its stingers, then stiffened all of them at once with a sound like a cracking whip. There was so much of it.

Everywhere she looked was filled with construct: everywhere Isaac’s light touched there was a veritable cancer of bone and tooth.

Isaac’s blue-green fire fell upon a giant trunk of bone, a skull terrifically mangled into the thing’s only coherent core: a simulacrum of a face with closed eyes and closed lips, as though locked perpetually in prayer. This vast mask loomed down from the ceiling and strained beneath Isaac’s pull."

Morgott was one of the Demigods born of Godfrey, First Elden Lord, and Queen Marika. However, he and his brother Mohg were both cursed as Omens and hidden deep beneath Leyndell in the Shunning Grounds. When the Shattering occurred, his Demigod kin scattered to the winds, absconding with the fragments of the Elden Ring. Only he stood stalwart in Leyndell, repelling invading forces that sought the ancient city and the Elden Ring within the Erdtree's holy sanctum. For Morgott, cursed as he was, had unshaking faith, and a righteousness to hold firm against any adversity, whether by demigod or by ambitious tarnished.

The nomadic merchants once roamed widely in the Lands Between as the "Great Caravan." However, long ago, they were accused of Heresy. Their clan, far and wide, was rounded up and buried alive deep below the earth. In their terror and sorrow, they chanted a fateful curse of despair, one that conjured forth the Frenzied Flame. A prophesy self-fulfilled perhaps. Now, only those few merchants far flung and hidden away from the prying eyes of the Golden Order live on, day by day, doing what they have to to survive after the Shattering.

Miquella was cursed with eternal childhood. Perhaps immortality might be a boon for others, but it was a burden for the Empyrean. Perhaps thanks to his curse, however, Miquella learned well how to compel affection, and to lead others. His ambitions would lead him to look outside the Golden Order to cure his sister Malenia, and to found an Erdtree of his own, the Haligtree, where those outcast from the Order could find unity. Through the Haligtree, he would rebirth himself into a new body, circumventing his curse. But, alas, before his metamorphosis was complete, he was stolen away by Mohg, who sought to use his Empyrean blood to found a dynasty under the Formless Mother.

Malenia was born cursed as a vessel of the Scarlet Rot, a rotting plague that not even Golden Order Fundamentalism was unable to cure. Her brother, Miquella, sought a cure beyond the Order, while Malenia sought to serve her brother's ambitions. She learned swordsmanship from a blue-robed master, likely the same figure who had sealed the outer god of rot to begin with. And, in the end, she became one of the greatest warriors in the Lands Between, and only met her match with Radahn, which triggered her to "bloom" reducing Caelid into a wasteland and creating the Swamp of Aeonia. Then again at the Haligtree. And a third time in her fateful meeting with a wayward Tarnished.

Blaidd is a half-wolf an an entity created by the Greater Will's agents to attend to, serve, and to leash the Empyreans. Blaidd in particular was raised as a half brother to his charge, Lunar Princess Ranni. Half Wolves such as Blaidd or Maliketh were also meant to act as a last ditch effort to control or eliminate empyreans who resisted the Greater Will's... will. However, Blaidd turned against this fate and instead worked to ensure that Ranni's heresy would go smoothly. Sadly, his story did not end there. With Ranni having succeeded her ambition, Blaidd had nothing left to keep the Greater Will's curse at bay and was driven into a bloody frenzy. That is, of course, if he is released from the imprisonment that Iji had levied upon him, fearing for the frenzy that he may fall to at any time. And, frenzy he does.

Renalla was one of the ancient Astrologers, and her prowess was so great that she founded a royal family, the Carians. She and the princesses of the Carians were famous for their sorcery, specifically cold and moon sorceries. With her Full Moon Sorcery, Renalla captivated the Raya Lucarian academy, and her and her family's power was so great that it could repel even the forces of the Erdtree. The stalemate was so resolute that peace could only be found through marriage between Renalla and Radagon. When Radagon returned to Leyndell to become the second Elden Lord, Renalla was left with the Amber Egg bearing the Rune of the Unborn, which she would hold so dear, to the detriment and eventual collapse of the Carians. Perhaps it was all a scheme to ruin the Carians, or perhaps it was just happenstance.
