Portraits

Walking Dead and Zombies are level 2 creatures of Necropolis town. They are recruited from the Graveyard.

"Walking Dead and Zombies are magically animated corpses. Zombies have a 20% chance to cause disease in creatures they attack. Diseased creatures have their attack and defense ratings reduced by two for a period of three rounds." ^{RoE manual}

They are mostly unused, especially due to their low speed. Even when defending a castle, there usually are better deals than them.

Special ability disease

Zombies have disease special ability, which may occur before the target stack has a chance to retaliate. The attack has 20% chance of causing the target to become ill, which causes the target stack to have their attack and defense values reduced by two for a period of three rounds. Disease can only be removed with Cure spell.

Heroes with a specialty

• Straker the Death Knight has walking dead as a specialty, which increases the Attack and Defense skills of any Walking Dead or Zombies for each level attained after 2nd level and gives them a speed bonus of 1.
