One or two that suddenly latch onto them and start chomping, after they've mowed down a dozen (or, lurking in the middle) would certainly get their attention. You could do this deliberately in a second encounter - the first one consists solely of minions, so when the PCs charge into battle in the next fight, they find out that some of the zombies are tougher than they appear!Although honestly, were I doing it, I wouldn't have a necromancer be the culprit. Instead, it might be a spontaneous situation. Perhaps the Undead have become restless because someone in the graveyard was buried alive (because they were in a coma) and this has upset the dead; the PCs must find and dig up the still-living person. Or, someone in the graveyard just hasn't accepted Death; they died, but just are too stubborn to go, and this has disrupted the balance. Maybe it's a homeless man who didn't get buriel rites, and he refuses to go until he's put to rest. But Ye Olde Necromancer ain't a bad way to go, either.Btw, The_Jester has done a ton of conversions of older-edition monsters.
