== Description ==
Animated Corpses are undead creatures formed from the effects of a strange virus with unknown cause, although the powers of a magician with dark intent can yield a similar result. They are rotting sacks of flesh, brainless, shambling versions of their former selves.
== Location ==
The Zombie virus could strike anywhere, at any time.
== Modus Operandi ==
Animated Corpses may be controlled by a necromantic sorcerer, or certain Master-class creatures, but more often than not they are mindless and empty, existing only to feed. They will search for the scent of blood and eat whatever they find at the end of the trail. If the victim of an Animated Corpse survives an attack, but is bitten even in the slightest, he will die within the hour after severe feverish symptoms and rise again almost immediately as a Zombie.
== Neutralization ==
Animated Corpses, being physical, can be killed with mundane physical methods. However, if the brain of the creature is not destroyed, it may continue to survive until whatever grim force that is maintaining it is cut off from it.
== Story Seed ==
The night a meteor is seen falling from the sky from a cruise ship in the mid-Atlantic, a hostess falls mysteriously ill and dies. She is placed in cold storage for the return trip home, but it isn't the last time the guests and crew of that fated trip will see her.
