SPECIAL ABILITIES

Clumsy Charge

Beast Zombies are amazingly fleet of foot. They will use this speed to race into combat using a charge maneuver. When they use Clumsy Charge they lose their Dexterity to Armor Class, and if they hit, their target is automatically knocked prone. Unfortunately, the Beast Zombie also falls prone in an adjacent square.


Thrashing Stand

Beast Zombies are clumsy but powerful things. As a full round action, the zombie beast can stand up from prone, during which they thrash and flail mightily to gain their feet, throwing sharp hooves and claws and teeth in all directions. Any enemy creatures in their space or adjacent to their space is subject to a Thrash Attack (+10, 1d8+1/x2). The thrashing attacks occur before the beast stands from prone, and any creature successfully struck by the Thrashing Stand is denied any opportunity attack that would normally have been provoked by the beast standing up from prone.


Immortal

Corrupted Zombies cannot be killed through normal means. However, zombies may lie shattered and dormant after being defeated for months or even years before their bodies recompose and they once again rise to seek and consume the flesh of the living. A sanctify corpse, consecrate or gentle repose spell will add a year and a day to the time it takes for a zombie to re-compose. A resurrection spell will bring the person associated with the zombie's corpse back to life, destroying the necromantic bond on its corpse.


TREASURE

sell value of approximately 1,375 gp


COMBAT TACTICS

Beast Zombies are mindless undead that have a compelling hatred of the living. Their tactics are simple: Charge in, fall down, stand up and attack until everything is dead.
