Zombie

Encyclopedia Entry:
A monstrous race created from human corpses by the Demon Lord’s magic. They do not retain any memories from their former lives, and instinctively wander the graveyard at night.

When a zombie encounters a man lost in the graveyard, she will attack him and force herself upon him. A zombie is no stronger than the woman from which she was formed, so escape is not impossible. Furthermore, sometimes a zombie will release a captured man without draining his spirit energy, if he is able to satisfy her sexual urges.

Driven entirely by appetite and lust, zombies are indiscriminate in choosing their victims. They cannot distinguish women from men and will assault both genders without prejudice. However, they can only absorb men’s spirit energy, so a zombie who captures a woman can only mindlessly violate her victim – and will do so until forced to stop by sunrise.

The demon’s magic that animates a zombie also prevents her body from decaying. The magic is maintained by the spirit energy absorbed by the zombie. It is likely that their energy draining power was inspired by the succubus, a higher race of demon. Zombies that drain spirit energy from many men and thus build up a large reserve of magic seem to acquire a limited intelligence. Such zombies sometimes take a liking to a particular human man, and may follow him back to town.
