Shambling Corpse

Medium undead, neutral evil

The most common undead in Aethara. Shambling corpses are bodies reanimated by ambient Void energy or by necromantic magic --- they require no deliberate summoner, only enough residual necrotic energy to kick-start dead muscle. They are slow, stupid, and relentless. A single shambling corpse is a threat to a commoner; a dozen are a threat to a militia. They are found wherever the dead lie unburied in areas of even moderate Void saturation.
