REANIMATED DEAD

STR: 12 DEX: 5 CTRL: 4
HP: 3
Bite (d4)

• Infect: If the damage from a Bite exceeds the victims HP, the Reanimated Dead latches on to rend the flesh and spread their infection, dealing an additional d4 Stress.
• Finisher: Reanimated Dead do not perish at 0 STR. To stop them from rising again, either the brain must be destroyed or their corpses burnt.

Reanimated Dead are living corpses that were not allowed the peace of death. Created through a variety of means, they are ever moving in mindless pursuit of a goal their barest instinct drives them towards, even as the earth calls them back. Whatever remains of their consciousness is trapped in a prison of rotting flesh, only released by destroying the brain.
