The Lich (Japanese: リッチー Lich) is a class of undead monsters that appears in Fire Emblem Gaiden and its remake, Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, although it is not a class in Gaiden. The Lich class is a stronger version of the Bonewalker class. In Gaiden, the Lich class uses a sword in its animation, but does not have a set weapon; in Shadows of Valentia, a Lich uses a club by default and is capable of wielding swords.

Trivia

• In Fire Emblem Gaiden, the Lich does not exist as a class; all Liches are generic Bonewalkers, with Lich being the units' names. This trait is shared with the Deathgoyle and Entombed; their differing palette is a result of all Liches having a level greater than 9.
