Description
In worlds where the undead are a frequent threat, and there is a very real chance that the deceased may crawl out of their graves, many cultures develop traditions to cremate their dead. However, the sinister necrotic energies that cause undead to rise are adaptable, and even these precautions are not always effective.
People who have been cursed by dark magic, or have carried an unnatural, burning hatred their whole lives, and have their bodies burned may have their bodies reform from the ashes and their souls trapped in the smothering husk. These creatures shamble along, driven by old grudges and anger from their living days. They are overcome by rage, and will lash out at any they perceive as getting in the way of their vendettas. The only ways to ensure a creature will not rise as cindered corpse is to bless the body before it is burned or to scatter the ashes in the water not sooner than 3 hours after death.
A cindered corpse resembles a zombie, but is made entirely out of ash and charcoal. The bodies glow in patches from the unnatural embers flickering in the body. They give off an unnatural heat that intensifies when they are agitated.
