You can use a bonus action to mentally command any creature you made with this spell if the creature is within 60 feet of you (if you control multiple creatures, you can command any or all of them at the same time, issuing the same command to each one). You decide what action the creature will take and where it will move during its next turn, or you can issue a general command, such as to guard a particular chamber or corridor. If you issue no commands, the creature only defends itself against hostile creatures. Once given an order, the creature continues to follow it until its task is complete.
Undead creature created by this spell is permanently under your control. Unless you or your ally will intentionally hurt it then it became hostile towards one who did hurt it.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, your DC is lowered by 1 for each slot level above 5rd.
