Most minions can be turned into zombies by death damage. When a minion is damaged by a death spell and dies the minion will become a zombie under the power of the person who casts the death spell. Zombie minions have the following properties:
- They lose health at 5 hitpoints per turn, to a minimum of 1hp.
- They are healed by Death damage, including walking into an Aura of Decay.
- Health limit of 250, no matter what the limit of their original form was.
- They take double damage from Light spells.
- They are damaged (up to 50) by healing from the Sphere of Healing.
- Immunity to the spell "Swallowing Pit".
- They retain all elemental resistances.
Zombie dragons and zombie pegasus have their own Aura of Decay, which heals them every turn as any other aura would. A wraith starts out as a zombie minion, thus all of these rules apply to it as soon as it is summoned.
Zombie minions look similar to un-zombified minions, but certain parts of their body will be brown or green, and certain parts of their skeletons will also be visible.
The health of a zombie minion is constant upon transformation; the strength of the spell used to zombify the minion, and the minion's previous hitpoints, has no effect.
