A "Deadite" is a life-force, person, animal or plant possessed by a Kandarian Demon. They are described as evil demonic Zombie Hybrids and are the main antagonists of the Evil Dead Franchise. Their disembodied forms are rarely shown, notable examples being when the evil was put in the "world of the flesh". In some moments of the films, the camera acts as the "eyes" of one of these demons as it is chasing Ash and some of the other characters. Some of the people they have possessed are Ash and his girlfriend, Linda.
