Zombies

Zombies are shambling undead as an individual they are relatively harmless due to their slow speed and lack of intellect but with their horde mentality they wil commonly gather in one place forming massive mobs of zombies when caught in the middle survival is near impossible

Culture

Summoned Zombie

the most common of the undead, they will gather under a necromancers will and attack as ordered, when not given orders they will act no different then a natural zombie trying to eat whatever living is nearby. unlike natural zombies however they are far easier to dispatch because killing one is a simple as hitting it with a stick until it falls down

Natural Zombies

far more dangerous then summoned zombies is the natural zombie. one that has come into existence not from vile magics but from simple neglect on a diseased person. a natural zombie is capable of movement even if all of its limbs are removed and if they successfully bite somone that person will die if they dont have some way to resist disease or a cure.

the only real way to kill a natural zombie is by setting it on fire, however you can pretty much make it incapable of harming you by aiming for its head. not beacuse that will kill it but because if it doesnt have a way to bite you all it can really do is grab you and push you into the area its head used to be. that is the main difference between it and a summoned zombie, if a summoned zombie is ordered to kill you it wont just try to bite you it will also try to bludgeon you with its arms.

History

Zombies are the most common tactic to a necromancer. they are the easiest to summon and dont take very much magic to keep around. on top of that they dont have to sacrifice too many bodies to get one and can focus on using more important bodies for more nefarious purposes
