On a success, the zombie drops to 1 hit point instead.

About

This shuffling zombie is a moldy corpse devoid of any signs of intelligence.

Okokiyat zombies are created through by sculpting an effigy (an ouanga) out of wax or some other substance. The ouanga is then captured in a coffin or some other confinement, where the bokor uses it to control the okokiyat zombie.

Okokiyat zombies don’t really fight, they stumble and trip onto people. Only the strategic mind of a bokor can put them to effective use.
