Zombie

Zombies are one of the many variants of undead, created through the use of necromancy. They are considered by Necromancers to be the most basic form, having not yet made the transition into the voracious Ghoul that makes up a large portion of the Scourge Army. Despite this they do serve a purpose within the Scourge ranks, the ease of which they are reanimated and the unwavering obedience that they show to their masters makes them powerful and more importantly expendable front line soldiers.

As a surprise to those that kill them Zombies are often used as plague carriers or infested with parasitic creatures. The creatures often emerging from the corpses of the slain after they have fallen to surprise the one who killed their host.

The majority of human zombies are brainless thralls to the will of their masters, unable to form basic intelligence or remember anything of thier past as a  mortal. This is not the case in all zombies however, some zombies do not lose the memories of their past lives however it does not serve any purpose for them as they are unable to do anything about it, their bodies forced to serve their masters until they are slain. Occasionally however one of these zombies will break free of the will of their masters and regain their intelligence and sentience however there has been thus far, no way to replicate the phenomenon on standard zombies and as such, no necromancer regardless of affiliation knows how this event occurs.

When in battle, a zombie's methods are perhaps the most simple of all. Fight whatever it is ordered to fight until it falls or they do, using whatever weapons they have at their disposal. For the majority of zombies this simply means to attack with their fists, however some have manages to pick up basic weapons such as clubs or swords and instead attack with those. Due to their speed (or lack of speed) zombies do not attempt to dodge attacks, often taking the brunt of blows head on and as one of the more witless undead, they do not retreat even if their masters chose to.
