Background

Users with this ability either are or can transform into an undead, beings in mythology, legend or fiction that are deceased yet behave as if alive. A common example is a corpse re-animated by supernatural forces, by the application of the deceased's own life force or that of another being (such as a demon) or zombies, beings that come back to life and walk the earth. They are normally incapable of dying by standard methods unless a specific weakness is exploited. However, they fall under possible problems such as decay.

Abilities

  • Regeneration (Low-Mid to High-Mid, up to Low-Godly in some cases): Most undead beings can reform themselves from lethal blows or can reassemble their bodies after it's scattered, some ghost themselves can regenerate.
  • Supernatural Resilience: Most undead beings can reform themself, survive lethal injuries such as being stabbed or having their chest blown in and are of course undead.

Resistances

  • Resistance to Poisons: Users organic functions are already dead or they do not have organic functions to begin with making them unaffected by poisons.
  • Resistance to Biological Manipulation: Users biological signals are dead as they themselves are dead making them unable to be affected by things done to their biological parts, or they simply do not have biological functions.
  • Resistance to Diseases: The user is already dead so no disease can really affect them and even if it did it'd do nothing to them since the things diseases affect are the parts of the user that are already dead.
  • Resistance to Pain: Most undead beings like zombies have no pain receptors so they feel no pain when things happen like their arm being cut off.

Limitations

  • Undead are usually mindless due to lacking brains.
  • Some undead need to consume blood and flesh to survive.
  • Undead beings like zombies usually die to damage to the brain.

Users

Note

  • It needs to be shown in said verse if the undead being can regenerate, otherwise they are not assumed to have it by default. Same with Supernatural Resilience.
