Zombie

Zombie is a monster found in the Descent: Journeys in the Dark (Second Edition) base game.

Description

Created from the still-rotting corpse of a dead man, zombies are common both as minions of vile necromancers and unfortunate side-effects of dark magic. All zombies can carry noxious disease, and the stronger, cleverer sort have been known to seize their prey and hold it in place, waiting for the slow-moving horde to catch up.
