IMO undead float, from all those gases which bloat them as soon as they get
wet. Zombies should rot away, especially Delecti's non-standard RQ3 ones.
Slowly, but steadily. Everything else should be mummyfied by some means.

Anyway, the ducks' ability to change their depth in water at will should
count for a strong tactical advantage. Diving ducks are almost as good as
flying wind children in combat.

Could Delecti's undead be actually bog-corpses, died reddish brown from peat
juices?
