Zombie
Description
Zombies are the weakest of all undead. They are the reanimated recent corpses of the dead. Often found in large numbers they resemble the decayed corpses of any of the normal races of Erdreja.
Zombies are quite obvious in all but the blackest darkness.
They move slowly and unevenly, they can't speak and can only moan inhumanly.
They also smell badly of decay if you get close to them.
There are thought to be greater variants of Zombies, though these are quite rare.
Strengths
- Zombies are usually thought of as slow moving, do not be fooled, as this does not mean that they react slowly in combat.
- Zombies are also immune to blunt weapons. This is because their rotting flesh just absorbs the impact of the blows inflicted without the normal internal damage that blunt weapons inflict.
- Zombies do not react to movement, but are attuned to detecting life, so hiding from them can be difficult.
- Zombies also take a great deal of damage to dispose of. As they do not feel pain it is often of little use to attack any specific location. Instead rendering the corpse to pieces is needed to stop it.
- Being undead they are not usually affected by any mind affecting spells and effects.
Weaknesses
- Zombies are easily dismissed however. Even the weakest incantor can dismiss a Zombie on his own.
- Zombies are mindless reanimated corpses with no self-awareness. They have no thought for their own existance and can easily be destroyed if handled correctly.
