The note describing the Half-Risen Dead can be found here.
== Appearance ==
Half-Risen Dead are technically Animated Dead that have simply reanimated inside of coffins and failed to break out, earning them their namesake of "Half-Risen". As such, they share all of the traits of the aforementioned monsters known as Animated Dead. A large, partially shattered wooden coffin conceals most of the body, with only the legs and arms being exposed. 
== Behavior ==
Like Animated Dead, Half-Risen Dead roam in groups and patrol for living beings to kill. Due to the weight of the coffin still attached to their bodies, Half-Risen Dead are cumbersome and slow, and are unable to sprint after prey. This coffin does, however, offer the creature some protection for blunt force trauma and bullets. If the coffin is fully shattered, the Half-Risen Dead will be able to sprint after prey normally. 
== Loot ==
On this enemy, you can randomly find the following items as loot:
* Tooth
* Bandage
* Healing Potion
== Trivia ==
* Its coffin acts as armor
* It throws wooden stakes when you're out of its melee range
* It cannot run while coffin is intact
* You can attack the limbs to bypass the coffins protection and damage the monster
== Tips ==
* It is very difficult, but possible to kill it with a headshot. It is easier to do when standing face to face
* A shot using Flammable Shotgun Ammo should burn it to death in 1-2 hits. This tactic can do great damage, while keeping the coffin in one piece and still slowing the enemy down
* If you can sneak up behind one, a stealth attack to an exposed limb may kill it in a single hit
