"Hanging Zombies at the Ruined Shack", by J. Lonnee
Fetherruin Zombie
Fetherruin Zombies are walking corpses that have risen from graves scattered across the region. They are mindless and feed on living flesh. Fetherruin Zombies usually rest during daylight hours. While resting, they are indistinguishable from a normal corpse without the use of a magical spell such as Detect Undead.
