Herkamer (minor) by Stone Gargoyle

The superbeing can animate dead tissue by touch, lending it 1d4 Hit Points, temporarily animaing part of a corpse.

1. Animating the Head: The superbeing touches the face or another part of the head. Since mental attribute points are lost at the rate of one point per hour following death, this works best on a fresh corpse. Animating the head will work even if the head has been severed from the rest of the body.
The head will remain animated once touched for the superbeing's ME number in minutes, plus one minute per level. Animation such as this requires 2 melee actions to perform.
This will allow the corpse to access its memories at 90%, -10% for each hour ir has been dead. The speach will be severely impeded, so there is only a 50% chance the speach will be intelligible, -5% for each hour the corpse has been dead.

2. Animating the Body: The superbeing touches the chest or back to animate the main body of the corpse, which will shuffle around mindlessly once animated. The animated corpse has all its original physical attributes, minus one point for each hour it has been dead. It will follow the superbeing (it is the life source) so long as the superbeing does not move faster than the corpse is capable of, and remains within an effective range equal to the hero's ME attribute number in feet. The animated corpse can only remain so for a time equal to the hero's ME attribute number in minutes, plus one minute per level. Animating the corpse takes two melee attacks/actions to perform.
The corpse can only make one attack per melee rouind, this attack subtracting from those of the superbeing animating the corpse, and the bonus to strike is equal to the superbeing's ME bonus (the corpse cannot dodge or parry an attack).
Aniating smaller parts, such as a severed hand, is also possible, the smaller part not suffering the attribute penlties from decay if it is just a hand or such.

Limitations: Attempting to reanimate both the head and the body to create an intelligent zombie will overload the corpse's nervous system, causing it to collapse, thus making such a thing impossible. The superbeing must choose to do one or the other and cannot do both at the same time to a single corpse.
