 ==Construct Types==
-[[Image:Mon-grotesque.jpg|thumb|100px|A [[Grotesque]].]]"Construct" undead can be made up of both bone and dead flesh. An undead is a "construct" if it is made up of more parts than the average corpse would have. The only example we have seen so far is a flesh construct, called the [[Grotesque]], but it's likely that we might see more sorts, and even bone constructs before the launch of [[Diablo 3]].

 ==Higher Undead==
-[[Image:Mon-skeleton-king1.jpg|thumb|right|75px|[[Leoric]]]]Most general types of undead never reach a point where they are truly sentient, and even then, they are usually slaves to some sort of master that resurrected them. However, if enough dark magical power is infused in a corpse, skeleton or a skeletal construct, they can attain sentience, and even outdo their former master. Examples of this is classically Liches or Vampires, who often in turn raise lower undead as servants and guards.

Even rarer, a huge amount of energy, such as the falling of an angel, can cause undead to rise with their own properties and even carry on what they did in life.

 ==Skeletal Types==
-[[Image:Mon-skeleton3.jpg|thumb|A [[Skeleton]].]]A lot of undead comes in the shape of a [[skeleton]], or a skeletal construct. As necromantic magic works, it doesn't have to be pieces of one single old skeleton, but it can be pieces from a number of corpses. As [[Abd al-Hazir]] says in his [[Writings_of_Abd_al-Hazir:_Entry_no._0008|entry on the Skeletal Undead]], it's up to the [[Necromancer]] or mage that reanimates a skeleton on how much energy he infuses it with, and the intelligence and power of the skeleton varies greatly. Some are nothing more than a brainless shell, attacking with limbs or simple tools, while others have enough intellect to use more complex tools like bows, and powerful ones can cast spells and even summon additional skeletons themselves, making a skeletal army potentially very powerful.

 ==Incorporeal Types==
-A great deal of undead comes in incorporeal forms, such as [[Wraith]]s. This type of undead is the ectoplasmic manifestation of a soul that chose to stay in the mortal realm after losing its normal life, a spirit that has been forced to stay through magic, or perhaps pulled in to the mortal realm from the spirit world. Depending on the type, they usually require weapons of magical nature to damage, and they are experts in draining speed, energy or health from anyone that would have a close encounter with them.
