A kept zombie is a corpse raised by a necromancer. Few know that the magic used to create these undead also trap their soul inside the body. The soul has almost no control over the body.
When the necromancer dies, the soul is usually released, but the animated body remains as a wild zombie, using their claws and teeth as weapons. They are faster than kept zombies.
The last condition of a zombie is very rare. On occasion, the soul enjoys the vile acts the body is forced to commit, and purposely clings to the body when the magical bond breaks with the necromancer's death. The soul gains complete control of the body, becoming a lich. Liches are more commonly created by a long process of rituals and magic a necromancer chooses to undergo for the reward of immortality.
