Zombie

A zombie’s only desire is to consume the living. Unthinking and ever-shambling harbingers of death, zombies stop only when they’re destroyed.

Transmission & Vectors

• Zombies are reanimated corpses revived with an Animate Dead spell
• Necromancy
• Victims of Plague-Ridden Zombies raise again as zombies

Symptoms

Zombies are often created using unwholesome necromantic rituals. Among the living dead, zombies are most often used as fodder, wearing down defenses and consuming resources before more powerful undead arrive to deal the killing blow. Zombies cannot speak or really even think for themselves, but they can be commanded by other allied undead and powerful necromancers.
