Zombie, Flesh Eater

A Flesh Eater Zombie is an undead creature similar to a zombie but even more dangerous. Like all undead, it is immune to spells that affect the mind (including sleep, charm, and hold). A flesh eater zombie may be Turned by Clerics (as a zombie). It feasts on the flesh of living creatures, preferring to target intelligent humanoids.

In combat it is surprisingly quick, and attacks with a flurry of claws and bites. While its claws are capable weapons, it is the creature's bite that is most deadly. Those who are bitten and survive have a 5% chance per point of damage of contracting a fatal disease, causing death in 2d4 turns. Those who die from this disease rise in 2d4 rounds as a flesh eater zombie. Cure disease will prevent death, or if cast on the corpse after death, will prevent the corpse from rising.
