These slow moving Zombies are a bit larger than the base model zombie, and can presumably take a bit more punishment. They are a very similar creature though, shambling around aimlessly, too stupid to use weapons or spells, only dangerous in large groups.

Walking corpses have a unique talent, in that upon death they sometimes break in half, but continue the battle as their upper bodies snap off and become a Crawling Torso. These bi-palegic monstrosities drag themselves after human intruders, still intent on battle even without a leg to stand on. And why shouldn't they? It was only a flesh wound, after all.

Spells and Abilities

• Spawn Crawling Torso

The Walking Corpse can on death spawn a Crawling Torso, if enough damage was not dealt to it. It's essentially the original monster's upper body that continues the hunt for the flesh of the living.
