Hollow Men are ancient corpses animated by the restless souls of the dead (also called 'Wisps'). They are first introduced in Fable II as a new incarnation of Undead from Fable, and make a return in Fable III. They most often attack in large groups, swarming the Hero, and are one of the most frequently encountered enemy types throughout both games. In an article in the Bowerstone Times, it is revealed that the term 'hollow man' was first coined by the naturalist Bartholomew Briggard.
