STATISTICS
SPECIAL ABILITIES
Feral Rage (Ex)
The horde attacks as a ruthless mob, intent only on tearing apart those that fall
into their clutches. This frenzy prevents them from using any sort of tactics, and
frees them from any form of control by other beings. However, the sheer force of
the wave attack allows them to deal 6d6 points of damage to any creature whose
space they occupy at the end of their move. This ability is lost if the horde is
broken up.
Horde Traits (Ex)
Hordes are not so called because of the size of the group but rather the size of
the creatures that compose the horde. Unlike normal swarms, hordes are composed of
Medium creatures which are usually a normal version of a creature but otherwise
behave in a swarm-like manner. There are usually around 50 creatures in a horde.
The net effect is that they take only half damage from piercing weapons but take
normal damage from other weapons. In addition when the swarm is reduced to 0 hit
points or lower and breaks up, unless the damage was dealt by area-affecting
attacks, then 2d6 surviving members of the horde continue their attack, though now
only as individual creatures. Otherwise, a horde conforms to all of the other swarm
traits.
Rend (Ex)
Due to the grasping and clawing nature of the zombie horde attack, any time the
horde does more than 25 points of damage, add 3d6 slashing damage from the
additional pulling and tearing. This ability is lost if the swarm is broken up.

ECOLOGY
Environment any
Organization solitary, mass (2�4 hordes), apocalypse (7�12 hordes)
Treasure none
Empty eyes seek you out, each staggering footstep bringing the deathless mass
closer. Straining to grasp you, this group of zombies are so tightly packed
together it seems to be a single mass of undead, flailing limbs.
Zombies are one of the most used and abused of the mindless undead.
The flailing nature of the zombie horde�s limbs allow the throng to grasp and tear
at opponents, dealing rend damage in addition to their base attack. Any time the
horde is in an opponent�s square, the target risks being completely overrun by the
horde If the horde takes enough individual damage to break it up, up to a dozen of
the creatures continue on their rampage of destruction, until finally they too must
be slain.
