Grim Reaper
From UOGuide
The Grim Reaper was a special monster spawned during Halloween 2006. He would appear in a Champion Spawn-like fashion in Graveyards. Undead creatures would spawn with red names and players would have to kill them. When enough were slaughtered, the Grim Reaper would appear.
Once the Grim Reaper targetted a specific player, they would be followed until death. You could not escape by hiding or recalling, he would follow you anywhere. Upon death one random player would recive a cursed doom major artifact or the Grim Reaper's Scythe in their backpack.

- Each melee swing of his Scythe did approximately 20-30 damage on an all 70 resistance player.

Updates
There were some changes after the original introduction:
- If the targetted player entered a house or died, the Grim Reaper would return back to the graveyard.
- The artifact was changed to be given randomly to 1 of the top 16 damagers, instead of the top damager.
Further changes were introduced a week later:
- The Grim Reaper will now return to his graveyard if he teleports into a justice region.
- The Grim Reaper will now teleport back to his graveyard once he gets down to 33% of his health.
- Other monsters will now ignore the Grim Reaper.
