Admins, I know you didn't want any more racial suggestions until the normal races were represented, and we have a few more lined up until then, but this was such a delicious idea I had to post it. Especially since they're quite the original idea and worked on my other forum.
My zombies are unique, and consist of three factions, or subraces.
The Intact
These zombies died in rather normal, ungruesome fashions with minimal damage to the cadaver (gunshot wounds, slit wrists or throats, suffocation, old age). They are paler than normal humans, but they are obsessed with preserving themselves. They dare not eat for food will rot in their useless stomachs, and avoid inclement weather and climates. They often show no signs of actually being dead, or cover up the bullet holes or slits. They cannot grow their hair, or nails. Preserved perfectly how they died.
These types of zombies can walk in normal society as humans.
They recieve bonuses to their strength, and like all zombies do not tire. They do not need sleep, water, or food, and can walk for hundreds of miles. However these zombies have no natural magical capabilities, and cannot transform. They sacrifice magical ability for physical strength.
The Rotten
These zombies encourage rot and bathe in the fact they are falling apart. They may lose limbs, flesh, skin, or organs. Many of these zombies let rats, cockroaches, and worms live in their bodies, and eventually assume control of these parasites. The zombie feeds its minions, and in return they give up their autonomy. These zombies are slow, withered, but they bear considerable strength with magic. They lose all of their physical strength, becoming delicate to the touch...but they burn with a ferocious and fiery command of magic that very few creatures can touch.
The Feral
These zombies have had the unfortunate problem of being murdered in a grotesque fashion. They've had heads cut off, been chewed up in industrial machines, and have completely lost their senses of morality. They are shambling parts with the intelligence of an ape, and often attempt to prey on other zombies. They tend to crawl around on all fours, or whatever limbs they still have. These zombies cannot communicate, but they are still intelligent. However most of their energy goes toward haunting mankind...they can be equally gifted in magic or physical strengths depending on their forms.
