Revenants

A zombie rarely kills a person unless he is alone or highly unlucky. Revenants, however, murder with savage speed and skill. A Revenant is still an undead creature—they have no breath, no moving blood and are creations of Hexenwerk—but they are many times faster, stronger and better put together than a zombie. Most Revenants still maintain their skin and the muscle structure beneath. The best identifying features of a Revenant are sunken, shriveled eye sockets and skin, which has sloughed off their fingertips. They kill and eat so viciously with their hands that, while the rest of their body maintains its form, a Revenant’s palms are stripped down to nothing but skeleton and sinew. Still, that skeleton is dangerously strong, even to a trained Hero.
It is not clear exactly what makes a Revenant—some say they are simply zombies which had a bit more power poured into them. Others believe that Revenants had been specifically created after the War by hexe who captured zombies and turned them into better killing machines. While Revenants do not have human thought processes, they do seem better at following orders and are able to focus on specific targets. They do not kill with the mindlessness of zombies—they are a targeted, dangerous threat.
