Editing Zombie Dragon (section)

==[[Warhammer Fantasy]]==
Zombie dragons are heavily associated with the forces of the [[undead]] in the world of [[Warhammer Fantasy]], generally being portrayed as the ultimate undead slave. Whilst something of a downgrade from a living dragon, such as losing the iconic fire breath in favor of a gout of corrosive miasma, they are still nasty enough to be one of the most powerful undead warriors in the setting. To say nothing of the sheer prestige that comes from having them in the army.

Creating a zombie dragon requires a [[vampire]] or [[necromancer]] to travel all the way to the dragon's graveyard on the Plain of Bones, where both draconic bodies and ambient dark magic are in abundance, and pit themselves against the challenge of trying to force life into a draconic corpse. If they succeed, they get a powerful undead monster to join the ranks of their troops - if they fail, they tend to burn up in an overload of necromantic energies.

Zombie dragons generally serve as personal steeds for the most powerful vampires. In 6e, the "Necromancers Only" variant army allows them to be taken as unmounted monsters as well.
