Description
Dark thralls are intelligent undead created from necromantic rituals involving suffusing a corpse with alchemical potions and carving runes of control into the skull. They are often provided weapons and armor which are pitted and corroded since the dark thrall has little interest in anything beyond bringing death to the living and serving their creators demands. Their appearance varies somewhere between a skeleton and a zombie and the stench of decay follows them wherever they go.
These creatures can be very cunning and make use of basic tactics and strategy. While they fear nothing they will retreat if doing so make sense or make use of cover if the situation warrants. If their leader is destroyed they will make individual decisions which may mean fighting to the death or fleeing to roam the countryside as undead marauders.
