Biotech The biotech of a biotech zombie can be disabled for 1 hour by a creature that succeeds at a DC 18 Medicine or Life Science Lore check. Attempting to do so can typically be done only while within reach of the zombie and is a 2-action activity that has the manipulate trait. A biotech zombie with disabled biotech is slowed 1 and can't use any reactions.
Genetic Instability [reaction] A biotech zombie must use this reaction unless its biotech is disabled; Trigger The zombie is reduced to 0 Hit Points; Effect The zombie melts into a caustic pool of biological goo, dealing 2d8 acid damage in a 10-foot emanation (DC 18 basic Reflex save) and making that area hazardous terrain for 1 minute (1 acid damage). This ability destroys any organic items on the zombie (including biotech).

All Creatures in "Zombie, Tech"

Zombie, Tech

Technological zombies are created when a dead creature is reanimated (or otherwise kept moving) by an internal or integrated technological item—usually an augmentation. Despite the vast differences in form and hardware between different tech zombies, they do have similarities—they're mindless undead driven to harm the living, with technological components and weaknesses that can be leveraged.

So Many Zombies

Each of the detailed tech zombies are a different category of technological zombie, not a monolith. Within each category are countless more undead, possessing different augmentations and abilities, and created from different base creatures. Tech zombies can encompass anything from a cybernetic nyssholora with eight laser eyes and chainsaw limbs to a ysoki with retractable bone blades who vomits their own rotting internal organs on their foes. Big or small, zombies can do it all!

Not Undead?!

Sometimes a tech zombie makes more sense without the undead trait. This applies to situations where technology or even magitech has run rampant, and the body isn't animated by any unholy magic. In these instances, simply remove the undead trait and void healing ability.
