I think this might cause your PCs a few nightmares and would certainly hammer home the danger of roving bands of zombies.  Zombie Swarm Level 6 Brute Huge Natural Animate (undead) XP 250  Initiative +6 Senses Perception +5 Punching Mass aura 1; At the start of its turn Zombie Swarm makes a free Zombie Swipe attack against all enemies inside aura HP 82; Bloodied 41 AC 18; Fortitude 19, Reflex 18, Will 17 Immune disease, poison; Resist 10 necrotic; half damage from melee & ranged attacks; Vulnerable 5 radiant, 10 close & area attacks Saving Throws see Swarm Stability Speed 4  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/bm.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":bmelee:" title="Basic Melee    :bmelee:" data-shortname=":bmelee:" /> Zombie Swipe (Standard; at-will) Attack +9 vs. AC; 1d10+4 damage  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/m.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":melee:" title="Melee    :melee:" data-shortname=":melee:" /> Zombie Grab (Standard; at-will) Attack +7 vs. Reflex; 2d6+4 damage; on hit target is grabbed (escape ends)  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/m.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":melee:" title="Melee    :melee:" data-shortname=":melee:" /> Swallowed By the Crowd (Standard; at-will) ♦ grabbed target only Target must be grabbed at start of Zombie Swarms turn; attack +7 vs. Fortitude; on hit target is pulled into the centre square of the Zombie Swarm, is restrained and takes 10 ongoing damage (until escape, target takes a -5 penalty to escape checks, on escape creature can emerge in any square adjacent to swarm); Whilst Zombie Swarm has a target restrained it cannot move or make attacks other than those granted by its Punching Mass aura  Swarm Stability Zombie Swarm reduces all push, pull and slide effects targeting it by 3 squares, and is only affected by ongoing status effects from area or burst powers  Alignment Unaligned Languages groans and moansSkills Endurance +9 Str 19 (+7) Dex 16 (+6) Wis 14 (+5) Con 12 (+4) Int 3 (-1) Cha 3 (-1)  I think it might be a bit unfair to have a standard encounter as being 5 of these swarms (then again maybe not <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devil.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":devil:" title="Devil    :devil:" data-shortname=":devil:" />), but if you used 3 and added in other undead to suit you could make a really memorable and exciting encounter. Anyway this is just an idea for you to consider, hope it helps.</blockquote>
