Zombie race

Race zombie

Zombies -- walking corpses under a grim necromancer's command or a curse. They shamble slowly, stink strongly, and in numbers can wear down even a seasoned hero.

A dead body is not subject to poison, disease, or drowning -- what's already rotting inside, you can't kill again. Charm doesn't work either, dark energy only feeds a zombie, cold and piercing weapons pass right through the decaying flesh. Fire, holy power, bright light, and silver, though, are an execution for a zombie: the body flares up or crumbles.

They sense the living from afar. In battle they parry with whatever's at hand and crush by mass, but move slowly -- that's their main weakness.

Main spawn points are Old Midgaard, graveyards, and other places where a necro wanted some practice. Zombies in Firetop Mountain are especially nasty, with baked-on bones.
