Medium Undead, Unaligned
Recently slain civilians raised by the plague. Their clothes are torn, their skin is pale and grey, and their eyes stare forward without recognition. They move awkwardly but relentlessly, driven by hunger and necromantic instinct.
A farmer’s wife. A mill worker. A child’s father. Now they claw at the barricade with bloody hands.
