Shambling Dead are a type of [[Undead|undead]], among the weakest and most common, relatively speaking. Using [[Demonic Magic|dark magic]], dead bodies can be infused with the demonic mockery of a soul, reanimated and forced to do their creator's bidding. Corpses can be reanimated at any stage of degradation, whether newly-killed or only skeletons, but only human and animal flesh can become undead. The animation of inanimate matter can only be achieved through ancient [[Runic Magic|runic magic]]. Shambling dead are always slow-moving, but are surprisingly strong and difficult to kill, since they must be entirely dismembered and then purged with sunlight or holy power. Shambling dead are only created by necromancers.

-The shambling dead are abominations of dark magic and do not possess a true soul. They are animated only by demonic creations that mock souls and thus lack any of their power or intellect. Thus, shambling dead are slow moving and have no minds. They are so thoughtless that they will batter themselves to pieces upon a wall if they cannot reach their prey. They exist only to follow the commands of their master that animated them. Only mortal flesh, such as those of [[Men]] and animals, can become undead. Animation of inanimate matter can only be achieved through ancient [[Runic Magic|runic magic]] to create [[Golem|golems]]. [[Alfar|Elves]] have never been known to become any form of undead, and their bodies cannot be reanimated using soul mockeries.

 However, despite having no soul, shambling dead are strong and almost impossible to stop through any conventional means. Dear reader, if you have somehow encountered the animated dead, please contact the [[Knights Templar]] or the [[Venatori]] immediately to excise the area. Do not attempt to defeat such creatures on your own, or you will surely perish.
