The '''undead''' were once-living creatures, now animated by spiritual or supernatural forces.<ref name="Monster Guide 199">''[[Monster Guide]]'', pg. 199</ref> The term undead refers to all creatures or entities that function normally despite having terminated life functions. Most commonly known as [[zombie]]s or [[ghost]]s, undead beings are most typically mindless, bloodthirsty fiends hostile toward any living thing that comes across their path.

The undead have appeared all throughout [[Azeroth (world)|Azeroth]], most commonly in nature as [[revenant]]s or [[wraith]]s. They were used as a combat tool during the [[First War]] when the [[necrolytes]] of the [[Horde]] learned to animate corpses as [[The Dead|skeleton]] warriors in their fight against the [[Alliance]]. Later, the studies of the [[necrolyte]]s developed into [[necromancy]], the form of magic used very heavily in the [[Third War]] when the [[Cult of the Damned]] spread the [[Plague of Undeath]] across [[Lordaeron]].

In modern times, "undead" refers primarily to either the [[Scourge]] or the [[Forsaken]], since nearly half of the [[human]] race have since become undead. However, Forsaken player characters and NPCs are for most intents and purposes considered to be [[Humanoid|"humanoids"]] in ''World of Warcraft'' due to gameplay reasons and do not share all the characteristics of other undead. This is not the case according to the lore in other sources where Forsaken share all the characteristics of standard Undead.

* Cannot be [[skinnable|skinned]], except for certain undead animals that would otherwise be classified as [[beast]]s (i.e.: [[bear]]s, [[boar]]s, [[wolf|wolves]], etc).
 
−
* Generally are unaffected by mind affecting spells, like [[fear]] (They've seen it all before), [[Sleep Effect|sleep]] or [[mind control]], however, priests can use [[Shackle Undead]] to temporarily imprison monsters and paladins can use [[Turn Undead]] which works just like a fearing spell. This does not apply to player characters of the undead race, which are technically classified as [[humanoid]], for purposes of game-balance.
 
−
* Can be tracked by [[Paladins]] and [[Hunters]].
 
−
* Death Knights under the effect of [[Lichborne]] are considered undead.
 
−
* Cannot be healed by [[Death Coil (death knight ability)]] unless a death knight is under the effect of [[Lichborne]]

==Trivia==
 
−
For game balance, the Forsaken are registered as [[humanoid]]s because, in a [[PvP]] setting, they would be massacred with [[Exorcism]], [[Holy Wrath]], [[Turn Undead]], and [[Shackle Undead]], but they would also be immune to other [[CC]] such as [[Polymorph]] and [[Fear]]. Forsaken were classified as undead in Beta, but it proved to be too problematic with PvP balance. Many Forsaken NPCs are also considered humanoid.
