The hell-maggot sought out smaller prey and discovered that it enjoyed the texture of dead flesh but preferred the "spice" of screaming prey being consumed alive.  It used some of its power to create the physical undead.  Different undead had different "flavors" (pork/chicken/fish/beef/lamb) ensuring they spawn independently to have a ready supply.  The death god decided that killing this thing and sending it to the land of the dead would be bad.  He took the souls of particularly vicious beings that would normally be punished and turned them into his enforcers to deal with the corporeal army.  Not having enough evil souls handy, he had his incorporeal creatures gather some of the living and then launched an assault.  While the maggot was distracted by the war, the death god constructed a prison around the maggot, sealing it away.  Now all the corporeal undead are the spawn from the deserters of the maggot's army while the incorporeal are the results of the evil spirts the death god didn't bother to regather.  (BTW: the maggot is modeled on a souped up Avolakia from MM2)</blockquote>
