SFS Standard Crest-Eater Necrograft Zombie Creature 7

Necrograft zombies are animated by necrografts created from the body parts and internal organs of undead creatures. On Eox, it's common to augment animals and beasts with necrografts to ensure their survival on the dead planet. After death, many of these creatures return as true undead to continue serving their creators.

Necrograft A necrograft zombie's necrografts can be disabled for 1 hour by a creature that succeeds at a DC 22 Religion 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 necrograft zombie with disabled necrografts is slowed 1 and can't use any reactions.

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.
