Zombies

"Hey Johnny? Where've you been? Your ma's been looking for you. Why the dead look?" -Famous last words.

Zombies are disgusting husks of their former selves. Their insatiable hunger for living flesh is their biggest crutch and downfall at the same time. They lack the self-preservation of more intellectual monsters, and most will walk through a burning forest to seek dying animals and their flesh and ending themselves in the process. Some dark mages have been trying to improve their intellect and ended up creating Constructs called Made Men.

Zombies aren't creatures or monsters per se but results of an infection. Left untreated, the infection will cause the sufferer to turn into undead. Luckily enough, the treatment has been found and easily created. Some Healers can revert the infection as well. After king Endor's son died due to zombie infection during their trips, he mandated that even small villages should carry small stockpile of potions and elixirs to cure zombie infections.

Infection can be caused by getting a bite, scratch, exchanging bodily fluids or getting bit by rot flies.
