Recently, I (as DM) had a hellhound drag the party's NPC cleric into a pit of flame and through a gate to a fiery place (unspecified but presumably hellish). He was most certainly dead, and roasted well by the flames; they made no effort to recover him, being perilously close to death themselves.
Later on, the PCs will be on a level of dungeon that is ruled by a demon.
Just for grins and giggles, I want the PCs to meet their poor cleric ally again, in the form of some sort of ghost or other undead. He has either been corrupted or is being dominated/controlled by the demon in some way.
What sort of creature/template would you use?
Note that this is an E6 campaign, so I don't want to go over about CR 8 on this encounter. The original cleric was a L4 human follower of a war god.
