	A zombie golem is pieced together with no great precision from the broken bodies of destroyed zombies. Only 5% of any one zombie can be used in the creation of the golem, so the creature often incorporates parts collected from 20 or more undead. The successful maker of a zombie golem is an [[arcane spellcaster]] of at least the 16th level. He or she pours 50,000 gp (or its equivalent) into bringing his or her idea to "[[construction\|life]]". Of this total, 100 gp are spent fashioning the thing's body, which takes one month and a successful [[Craft (leatherworking)]] or [[Heal]] check (DC 13). The ultimate animation of the thing requires 1,200 XP from the caster and the casting of the following spells: [[bull's strength]], [[control undead]], [[limited wish]], [[polymorph any object]], and [[stinking cloud]].
