Sprouting from it's back are a series of long spikes, and it's mouth seems to have been removed and replaced with a metal jaw. The creature has menacing glare, and an almost corpse-like tint to it's bodily features. In the creatures thick hand is a large sword drenched in blood.

Taint of Phyrexia (Su): Because shivan zombies have made a pact with Phyrexia they acquire Phyrexian traits. They are immune to aging, disease, poison, and they get a +2 bonus on all saves to overcome necromancy spells. Strategies and Tactics Shivan zombies are primarily hand-to-hand fighters. They will attempt to get up close into their enemies as quickly as possible, hitting them with a potentional fatal blow. Once near their target(s) they will fly into a rage chopping their way through their enemies. Ecology Shivan zombies were once mortal men, usually barbarians. During their lifetimes they are contacted by the Phyrexians, for whatever reason. They are offered a deal to become immortal. Their side of bargain is servitude to the Phyrexian empire when the time comes. Society After the process of transformation into what they become, the shivan zombies are brought back to Phyrexia and used as police, enforcers, or military personnel. During times of strife they are used as shock troops and barbarians with the Phyrexian armys.
