Zombies

"In a world teeming with necromancers and ghouls, you'd think they'd consider some alternatives to interring corpses intact under small quantities of excavation-friendly dirt."

Shambling mindlessly forward, zombies try to sink their opponent under a relentless wave of punches, bites and blows from improvised weapons. Slow and incapable of independent thought, zombies are usually deployed in large numbers.

Ecology and behavior
Brought to life by necromantic magic, zombies are empty husks that retain no memories of their lives among the living. They are utterly brainless, and merely follow the instructions they were given during the reanimation process.

Habitat
Predictably, zombies are mostly found near graveyards, battlefields, or other locations where corpses are easily obtained. In theory, though, their creators can command them to go anywhere that their decaying limbs will reach.

Variations
Created using powerful necromantic magic, Dire Zombies are imbued with limited spellcasting ability. They also retain a small glimmer of intelligence, and are capable of giving simpler orders to normal zombies.
