Necropolitan, from Libris Mortis

Yup, Necropolitan hits the nail on the head.
Of course, one method for a slightly nastier undead is to be a Kobold, aged to I believe it's adult, and take the Vampiric Dragon template from Draconomicon. It's better than the Vampire template (bye bye all those 'sunlight and die' things), and for less LA

The Corpse and Bone Creature templates might work, also. They don't have a listed LA, but they are basically just intelligent zombies and skeletons. They are in the Book of Vile Darkness, and are created using Create Undead.
