Undead (TCG)

Undead were reanimated dead bodies who gathered in the Shadowlands to attack the Emerald Empire as followers of the fallen Kami, Fu Leng. Legend of the Five Rings: The Card Game All varieties of undead were extraordinarily dangerous, but most were not especially intelligent, for the false semblance of life imbued into them was a pale, flickering thing that did not rekindle their minds as it did their bodies. Legend of the Five Rings: Roleplaying Game (Beta), p. 204
== Creation ==
=== By Natural Means ===
If a mortal body was left near a place permeated by the Taint of Jigoku—for instance, in the Shadowlands—or in a corrupted location such as parts of the Shinomen Mori or the ruins of the Castle of the Snake in the northern Empire, it might spontaneously reanimate as a result of possession by a kansen. Such undead were mindlessly destructive. Legend of the Five Rings - Roleplaying, p. 320
=== By Human Intervention ===
Undead might also be created by mahō-tsukai, either by means of powerful
rituals or through the use of porcelain masks imbued with evil power and placed on the bodies to be reanimated. These masks gave a mahō-tsukai a degree of control over the undead being.
