Green Amdromodon Zombie: When any type of Amdromodon touches a dead humanoid, having died in the last 48 hours, the humanoid rises as a Green Amdromodon Zombie and follows its creator. A status symbol in Amdromodon society is how many and how powerful are the follower zombies. Giants are particularly favored because of their toughness to kill. Flying creatures of all types are also especially sought after.
These zombies are not limited to humans as the touch of an Amdromodon can turn any recently dead body into a green zombie.
