And then you have DnD where it's side content that a Necromancer can up and screw over the economy by employing the dead with physical labor. Tilling the fields, planting the crops, chopping down trees. And not even maliciously they pay the families to use their deceased loved ones remains.
that's part of what made them terrifying to begin with, since they're originally a haitian creation. imagine being a slave all your life then dying and instead of resting you become a slave until you can no longer move.
