Neverdead (Plague Zombie)
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Neverdead are Plague Zombies that were once simply dead bodies, until the Charadon Campaign, when Typhus the Traveler infested them with the Zombie Plague.[1]
This occurred after the Plague was cast across the Charadon Sector, once Typhus completed a Nurgle ritual on Saint Bartolph's Throne. The eye sockets of the infected dead bodies, began to burn with a poisonous green light and they soon rose up to feast upon the living. Animated by insatiable hunger, the Neverdead turned upon those they once called family, friend or comrade.[1]
