*If you're not yet terribly powerful, avoid fighting them near the corpses of foes you've already beaten, or it may raise them. On the other hand, if you can handle the zombies, they are worth [[experience]], unlike most other monster-created monsters.
 
*Although it's easy to summon your own shadow imps with the [[Call Imp]] spell, these allies will never cast Animate Dead.
