Background

Lore

Zombie Shambler

A zombie's only desire is to consume the living. Unthinking and ever-shambling harbingers of death, zombies stop only when they're destroyed. A zombie shambler is a slow- moving horror most dangerous in larger groups. Among the living dead, zombies are most often used as fodder, wearing down defenses before more powerful undead arrive to deal the killing blow. Zombies can be commanded by intelligent undead and powerful necromancers.
