Immunities (Ex): Juju zombies are immune to magic missiles and electricity damage.
Scent (Ex): This juju zombie can detect approaching enemies, sniff out hidden foes, and track by sense of smell.
The sample juju zombie uses a bugbear as the base creature.
Juju zombies fight with whatever arms they are given and their own tremendous strength.
Animated by a particularly hateful brand of necromancy, juju zombies are malicious, murderous creatures enslaved by the mighty spells that created them. Armed with powerful abilities, juju zombies are far superior to the mindless, shambling corpses that most adventurers think of when they hear the word "zombie."
A juju zombie appears to be an ordinary zombie at first glance, although it is generally in better condition than most of the walking dead. Its flesh has a grayish cast, and its skin is leathery and hard. A hateful light burns in its sunken eyes - the juju zombie comprehends its condition and loathes the foul magic that sustains it. A juju zombie free to do as it wishes is a bloodthirsty thing, driven to destroy the living and bring woe wherever it wanders.
A juju zombie can be created with a create undead spell cast by a 16th-level spellcaster or by certain powerful magical curses or diseases, such as the blightspawned's blight touch.
Juju zombies understand all languages they knew in life, but they are incapable of speech.
