Zombie

Information
Zombies are re-animated corpses, unlike in most fiction they are not mindless bloodthirsty monsters who try to eat people or turn them into zombies as well. They are reanimated using magic by Animators and Necromancers.

Even if a zombie is chopped up, the parts can still move until they are properly destroyed

When a zombie is returned to his grave, the body sinks into the ground, as if it was water

Flesh Eating zombies do exist, but are rare, and they only eat flesh so they won't decay as quickly

If a zombie has it's soul intact then it won't decay any further

Over time, a zombie's brain will degrade

When it's revived, the zombie has no mind, it just has traces of it's previous life

Technically it's not illegal to experiment on Zombies, but it does appear as amoral to most people

Zombies with souls appear to be as obedient as those without

Dominga Salvador has managed to "bottle souls"

Some people are willing to but zombies for sex slaves...this is disturbing...

How to create a zombie
Zombies are created by a blood sacrifice of sufficient amount, this is determined by the amount of zombies to be raised, or the age of the zombie, the power of the animator and the condition of the corpse as well. Such as, a newly dead person can be raised with a chicken, which an ancient corpse might need a human sacrifice.

Blood is not always needed, if the animator is strong enough

How to kill a zombie
Zombies are never alive, but can be stopped by a few means:
 * The animator orders it to return to the grave
 * Fire!
