Before you stands the animate corpse of an emaciated grey hound. It's flesh is slightly deteriorated, rotted away perhaps, but is mostly preserved in such a way as to give it a look of beef jerky. Part of the flesh from the left side of it's face is missing, exposing the bone of the jaw and skull up to it's eye, but interestingly both ears are intact and perkish. A section of rib is exposed on the right side, and vertebrae are peeking through the flesh at it's lower back. Nothing is really missing, though due to the preservation of the flesh all the soft tissue has tightened on it's bones, including it's tail, giving it a look of horribly severe malnourishment, making every contour of every rib and vertebrae show clearly. All it's teeth are there and intact, and somehow through all this it still manages to have two functional eyes, and apparent movement, it's capacity to move and function a result of skillful installation of Ubuntu Linux. If one is so inclined to check, it is female, you sick bastard.
Character details: ragarth is the emaciated corpse of a dead dog, carefully preserved through smoking, and installed with Ubuntu Linux. This zombie is rather cutting edge when it comes to linux, and is careful to keep up with her security updates and leave no open ports that aren't carefully monitored.
