Mystical Creatures in The Ballad of Dreams: Zombies

To make up for the fact that I am a bit late on my magazine, I shall bring you a special report on the zombies of “The Ballad of Dreams”.

Zombies are corpses magically re-animated through the use of dark magic. Zombies have no will of their own and obey only the one who rose them from their graves. They are incapable of feeling anything, emotionally or physically, and can fight even if it is missing a few limbs. However, it does need its brain to retain “life”, thus destroying it is the only non-magical way to kill a zombie. They are also highly sensitive to magic and will die if hit by any powerful offensive magic, though weaker spells will also suffice if cast by a powerful magic-user.

Zombies are able to spread disease and rot by touch. This only works on organic materials, such as animal or plant matter. Contrary to what some may believe, those who are killed by zombies do not become zombies themselves.
