Glossary Entry: Undead

Undead are a popular type of monster in games and fiction in general. They are "living" dead -- zombies, skeletons, ghosts, and so on. Depending on the work, they may have human-like intelligence or even remember their previous lives, but most of the time they are simply grisly dolls made to move around by evil magics.

For the most part, parents are generally only concerned with how realistic and graphic these monsters appear. However, there is cause for concern when it comes to Christian beliefs, as the magics used to create these beings (or interact with the dead or spirits in general) is explicitly forbidden in the Bible.
