a reanimation looks like the creature that was reanimated and may be missing some appendages, rotting in a few places, or may even have organs sticking out. on occasion a necromancer may go the extra mile to stitch new parts onto a reanimation to make it stronger or hold together better
Culture
a reanimation is a more advanced form of a zombie. a zombie is just a body given movement magically while a reanimation revives the muscles of the corpse and keeps those muscles alive magically.
a reanimation is a general term for anything reanimated it can be as weak as a kobold or as powerful as a dragon. the reason somone would bother making a reanimation instead of a zombie is a zombie is slow and only useful in large numbers while a powerful enough reanimation can make even a novice necromancer into a feared individual across the land.
a reanimation has living muscles allowing it to run and the magic used on it is more complex allowing it to understand more complex orders. in addition any ability or spell that a reanimation could use in life can still be used in this form of undeath. making reanimated beholders, dragons, and illithids servants fearsome opponents.
not all abilities transfer over properly however, an undead dragon connot breath lighting, fire, ice, etc all it can breath is poisonous or diseased gas. individuals killed in this way always rise as natural zombies. useing reanimation on a troll is not advised for a reanimation spell cast on a troll counts as a level 1 revive spell.
turn undead works on reanimations as any moderate level undead but more prised servants will likely have counter measures against it built in.
