Homebrew Zombie (Dnd wiki) Species Details

Physical description: Zombies appear as they did in life, showing the wounds that killed them. However, the magic that creates them often takes time to run its course. Dead warriors might rise from a battlefield, eviscerated and bloated after days in the sun. The muddy cadaver of a peasant could claw its way from the ground, riddled with maggots and worms. A zombie might was ashore or rise from a marsh, swollen and reeking after weeks in the water.
