Zombies and Skeletons

Zombies and skeletons arise when animated by dark magic or otherworldly forces. They heed the summons of powerful spellcasters, or rise of their own accord in places saturated with death and loss, awakened by stirrings of necromantic energy.
If the risen corpse still posesses flesh, it emerges as a zombie. Their dead flesh cling to unlife with zealous vigour, making them difficult to strike down for good. If the corpse instead has rotted to leave only bones, a skeleton emerges. Without flesh demanding much of the necrotic energy needed to bring them into unlife, skeletons excel in intelligence and mental acuity when compared to zombies.
