A thought... maybe Ashirukuru is a singular entity, and not a type of undead? Could be some sort of Rogue type of adventurer who died in Durlag's Tower, and their spirit lingered.

Yeah, my guess is as to HOW it became undead. Maybe some adventurer went spelunking, bit it, got all undeaded ("OhH, bOo HoO, i HaVe UnFiNiShEd BuSiNeSs! I cAn'T rEsT! wAh! WaH!"), and likes backstabbing Alora because it's miserable and can't communicate like a healthy undead creature. Hexxat, Korax... why, even Bodhi is far better-behaved than it!
Ashirukuru: "I'M ANGRY!" *backstab*
Alora: "HEURK!"
Gorion's Ward: "Learn some manners, brute!"
Alora: "My insides are, RIGHT NOW, outsides. The last thing I need is for you to harp on the cause of that."
Kivan: "I could be based on a cool Western star like Lee Van Cleef, but instead I'm based on Clint Eastwood!"
Gorion's Ward: "I liked James Arness as Marshall Matt Dillon, myself..."
Alora: "GUTS. ON THE FLOOR."
Gorion's Ward: "Ahbahbahbahblahblah, change the record, kid, I'll get to you in a second. Jeez, some people."
Ah, well, it's gonna be one of those mysteries, like DeadHand in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
So, I remember years ago, finding a strategy guide/walkthrough for Baldur's Gate at a Books-A-Million, that read like a story. I really wish I could find it. Gorion's Ward was a human woman and a mage, or something. Then I got distracted by manga.
Oh! It was the Brady Games strategy guide, featuring Diana Nightflame, a Chaotic Good Half-Elven Fighter/Mage. I'll check it out, one of these days. According to someone on Good Old Games, she had...
STR 16, INT 15, WIS 12, DEX 14, CON 15, CHA 15
I kind of miss strategy guides like that... I remember there was a really cool one for [I]The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time[/I].
