The most basic type of undead is the Minion. A minion in life begins as any form or organic material with flesh and bones. Human corpses are the most common source of minions as they are the easiest to control with Magic; but any creature so long as it has a skeleton can be raised up and turned into a minion. Sharks, and other creatures with only cartilage cannot be reanimated. Shells or any sort of exoskeleton are not considered skeletons for this purpose.

Minions are primarily used as a work-force and preform any necessary task around the temple. Minions placed inside walls are even able to act as a security system, recording and playing back memories of for necromancers able to access them.

They have no souls. To a necromancer, a dead body is an empty vessel, a tool to be used.

Blood-Braid Minion

A subtype of the minion is called a blood-braid minion. This is created whenever two or more formerly living creatures are combined into one and reanimated. Blood-braids are the most difficult to control and are used primarily in war or for highly specialized tasks.
