The animated dead are the bodies of formerly living creatures animated through fell magic. Undead can be created intentionally by a necromancer to serve him, or arise naturally from the dark energies of evil regions.

An undead may be formed of either the rotting husk or the bones and shell of a being. The former is considered a zombie, and the latter a skeleton. As long as the remains contain a body part capable of grasping, be it a hand or head or the entire upper half, those remains can be animated.
