Monsters: Half-Undead

Dragon Magazine #313 has an article that details four half-undead templates, in case you want to play a really bizarre character. Fetches are half-ghosts, ghedens are half-zombies, ghuls are half-ghouls, and katane are half-vampires. In addition, there's also the mortif race that has half-undead ancestry (why are they outsiders in D&D?). Libris Mortis has another half-vampire template that has some differences from the katane. Technically, all these templates should be used as lenses.
