Homebrew Zombie Species Details

Zombies has a strong dislike of intense heat and sunlight, which quickly leads to him being dehydrated and severely desiccated and is a constant problem for them during the spring and summer months. When subjected to intense pain, they will temporarily submit to it, but will then overcome such reactions, because they remember that they are immortal and cannot die. They are also usually in a weak-hearted, lazy state of mind, which often works against they, leaving him vulnerable to punishment or ambush. Often being the reason, they become a zombie in the first place.

However, in times of conflict, zombies can switch to become a decisive, aggressive person who speaks, thinks, and acts according to their conscience. In particular situations, they also shown to have a ferocious and vengeful side to their personality as well.

Despite this, they still can possess a strong moral center, even in such life-and-death situations, and will quickly withdraw from an anger-fueled, vicious onslaught when they think it is the right thing to do.

Lastly, they are "immortal" which means they can't die from normal attacks unless they are in the sun, otherwise they must be burned, cut up into multiple small parts or attacked by a magical cause. No consumption of brains is needed but if out in the sun light all stats are set to 0 except health, which stays the same.
