Zombie Beast
<Beast Zombie> (CR 5)
What happens when a pack of zombies stumbles upon a herd of cows on a farm?
Yep. Zombie cows.
Beast zombies represent the undead remains of various animals that are left behind in a zombie outbreak. They are all size Large, and represent such animals as cows, horses, donkeys, mules, pigs, deer, moose, caribou, etc, etc that may be pulled down and converted to undeath.
Beast zombies tend to be less malevolent than humanoid zombies, but since they are larger, they are actually quite dangerous foes.

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. Whenever they use a move action to stand up from being prone, 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). This Thrash Attack is part of the move action to stand.

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.
