Undead

Undead are creatures raised from the remains of dead creatures. This is typically done through Necromantic energy. This energy is fueled by the Spirits of the dead body, though some believe the soul itself is used, and so many abhorr this practice. Some communities have used the dead to create a cheap labour force or expendable soldiers, but Undead soldiers are most often used by greedy individuals seeking personal gain.

Not all Undead are raised through Necromantic power, as some may be raised by Demons or Celestials, but they are all treated similarly.

Undead

Flesh

Reanimated Corpse

Description

The most basic trick of necromancy involves simply bidding a corpse to walk once more. These shambling horrors form the bulk of many undead armies and may be risen from the enemies they face. Though individually unintimidating, they may pose quite a threat in a large group and are not put down easily.
