- THE ZOMBIE -
[ Free to be used in Events ]

Overview
The most common of undead or supernatural creatures, the Zombie is the reanimated corpse of a once living individual. They form generally by some degree of Necromancy, be it spells of Skraag or the God of Undeath himself, with no ties to the manner of their own burials or if they found death peacefully or not. These are found in great hordes within the domains of Skraag, and it is in these hordes they are most dangerous, overpowering the living by sheer numbers alone.
The body of a Zombie is in a state of decomposition that matches naturally with their own time of death, some in extremely advanced states of decay but so long as they are reanimated, they do not fully crumble. Wounds that were present upon their dead body are present now, and no wounds will heal naturally as they are no longer living. Zombies are mindless, no longer having any memory of their past life, and driven by a single instinct: to feed. They hunt the living for their flesh in almost some sort of twisted envy for what they do not have, and do not stop until they are returned to a true death.
Zombies have some anima.
Abilities
Zombies are weaker than how they were pre-death, always in a state of decay that weakens them further the longer they walk the lands. They are however, like Ghouls and Draugr, highly infectious and rife with disease as a result of being a decaying, rotting corpse. Scratches are bad, but bites are worse, eager to tear into flesh and becoming slightly more animated when such a thing is within their reach. Most can see if their vision is intact, but their sense of hearing is somewhat elevated, not quite like that of an Elf but notable and they are drawn to sounds without regard for if the sound is a trap or not. One zombie on its own is not a difficult task, but in large groups they can be quite the force.
Location
Zombies are not tied to any one location, they rise from where their bodies were left if they are pulled into doing so via Necromancy.
Note: Whilst Zombies are free to be played in Events, they are mostly limited to the Sorrows/Frontier unless they have been specifically re-animated by a force of Necromancy (Skraag blessed, for example). Players can be undead if the player wishes it, but will be prohibited from revival until the undead is dispatched. Players should not play 'hordes', keep those to Event Staff.


The only way to kill a Zombie is by destroying the brain, which can be as simple as stabbing it, in which the corpse falls lifeless instantly. Holy water burns their flesh, but they feel no pain, and some husks may be a mite more flammable if they're particularly decayed.

This is now live! This is to replace the zombie lore from the page with them still setting alight in day and so on.
