Zombies

== Description ==
A Zombie, most commonly found in instances of Voodoo Necromancy, are docile, seemingly mindless, reanimated corpses. Like all Undead, if one intends to animate a dead body, one must select one that is relatively fresh, preferably within twenty four hours of having expired or otherwise well-preserved through mummification or refrigeration. Zombies are extremely obedient to their masters and only their masters, or anyone their masters instruct to follow. They are slow, stiff, and ambling, and must be regularly fed fresh meat in order to stave off decay or to heal wounds. Inspite of their slow speeds, Zombies are fairly agile in combat and disproportionately strong when compared to their size and level of decomposition. They also display a very child-like intelligence that seems to diminish the more they rot. Some have been reported to appear as though they are “reminiscing” about their past lives wherein they may appear to recognize a person, place, or thing and attempt to interact. Since Zombies do not have souls but are merely a body reanimated by magic, it is thought that whatever conscious energy that has taken up inside the corpse is accessing the remains of memories trapped inside the decaying neurons of the brain. This behavior tends to subside over time as the body eventually rots regardless of how often it is fed.
   Raising a Zombie requires only one very skilled magician and a few specific ingredients to be used in a “Zombie Powder”. As in the raising of a Cursed, an improperly resurrected corpse will almost invariable turn out to be a Ghoul, or, in the more likely case, not work at all.
