Juju zombies are created by M-Us who drain all life levels from
humans or man-sized humanoids by means of an energy drain spell (q.v.). <persons?>
Although they are "programmed" as are regular zombies, they
are superior in every way. They have a better AC,
MOVE quickly (even under water, for they do not breathe), climb like 6th thieves, <(base 92%)>
and attack with great force as if they were 6 HD monsters.
A juju zombie can hurl weapons or discharge a bow || crossbow. Because they
exist in part on the NMP, juju zombies can be hit only by +1 or better magic weapons.
Because of their undead nature, piercing or blunt weapon attacks do only one-half <(1/2)> normal damage.
Only cleaving weapons do normal damage, i.e., axes, broad and bastard or two-handed swords,
bardiches, halberds, or voulges and similar weapons.

Juju zombies are unaffected by all dweomers which affect the mind:
illusion, charms, holds, etc.,
as well as poison, electricity, magic missiles, death, and cold spells.
Fire has only one-half the normal effect.
Acid && holy water have full normal effects.
A juju zombie is =equal= to a spectre with respect to clerical turning of undead.

A juju zombie appears to be an ordinary zombie, although its flesh is less
rotted and has a gray colour and is leathery and hard.
A hateful light burns in the monster's eyes, as it realizes its condition
and wishes to destroy living things.
 

<origin: Africa?, voodoo?, means 'foreign magick' in voodoo?>

This is not to say thet a malign spirit could not possess a skeleton or a corpse, so as to make something more potent and dangerous than the usual.
the juju zombie was an example of such a concept, and skeleton "lords" are likewise.

Cheers,
Gary
