Monsters: Sentient Undead and Corrupted Creatures

Monsters: Sentient Undead and Corrupted Creatures

Book of Vile Darkness has three new templates. The first two (bone creature and corpse creature) are just skeletons and zombies, but sentient. In GURPS, just take the normal skeleton or zombie lens and remove the mental disadvantages that are not appropriate. The third template is the corrupted creature.
