The grave robber is a creature that is not dangerous in itself. Even when attacked they rarely fight humans.It is a common restless spirit in the eastern parts that is still trapped in its (dead) body. This spirit is looking for a place to rest - a grave of its own.
To achieve this they usually break into cemeteries or other burial places and attempt to take another's grave. This makes them immensely dangerous to have roaming the countryside since their search unavoidably unleashes other undead spirits who could be decidedly more harmful.
