Zombies and Ghouls -
Zombies and Ghouls are some of the most foul creatures that walk this world. They aren’t the strongest Undead out there, but they most certainly are the most tenacious. The difference between a Zombie and a Ghoul is difficult to recognize, but it doesn’t really matter. The only true difference is that Ghouls tend to be those from the Plague and Zombies are summoned by Necromancers. Though raised through the great plague, Ghouls are just as mindless and stupid as Zombies. What both lack in intelligence, however, they make up for in their ability to weather just about anything short of fire. Hacking off a limb isn’t going to do any good except make sure that limb can’t hit you (Provided the fingers don’t crawl after you). Burning them away is the only way to truly kill these creatures, barring intervention from Vau’Cheth.
The easiest way to tell if you’re up against a Zombie or Ghoul is to look for a walking, rotting corpse. They tend to be human, as human bodies channel the magic required to summon them best, but Ghouls will always be the corpse of a Jinn or Harpy. Pray you don’t find yourself attacked by these flesh-craving menaces without the help of a Fire Mage or a Priest...
