Zargash casts one of the following spells, using Wisdom as the spellcasting ability (spell save DC 13): • At will: light, thaumaturgy • 1/Day each: command, gaseous form, hold person, silence, speak with dead

Animate Corpse (Bonus Action) (1/Day)

Zargash targets the lifeless corpse of one Humanoid he can see within 30 feet of him and commands it to rise, transforming it into a zombie under his control. The zombie takes its turn immediately after Zargash. Animating the zombie requires Zargash's concentration (as if concentrating on a spell). The zombie reverts to an inanimate corpse after 10 minutes, when it drops to 0 hit points, or when Zargash's concentration ends.
