Most of the time, however, dead bodies only Awaken during the process of creating [[Lifeless]]. These creatures are made via complex Commands that reanimate a dead person or animal. These Commands are guarded closely by those who know them.
Lifeless, defined as Mindless Manifestations in a Deceased Host, or '''Type II BioChromatic entities''', are non-sentient reanimated human or animal remains. They have a functioning brain, and are able to interpret old Commands and have new Commands given.{{book ref|wb|46}}
Type II entities are cheap to make, even with awkward Commands (used to cost 50 Breaths before the Manywar). This is due to the Law of BioChromatic Parallelism. However, Breath sticks so firmly to the construct that it is impossible to remove afterwards. Once a '''Lifeless''' is created, it will obey any instructions given to it that include a pre-determined '''Command Phrase''' (similar to a password).{{book ref|wb|46}} Human Lifeless are able to understand more abstract instructions than animal Lifeless. However, the skill of the Awakener who Awakens the Lifeless also affects its ability.{{wob ref|6799}} Any Lifeless will retain a level of skill that it had in life. For example, a soldier's corpse would make a better soldier Lifeless than that of a farmer's.{{book ref|wb|33}}
