Just to let you know, the intelligence of undead was downgraded in the 
last errata.  If they are created with the rank 12 Anubis spell, an 
undead now has  a double inferior int, rather than a 1d6 of normal int.

However, I still agree with Steve's statements.  Most Orus effects 
depend on the casters emotions, and the undead still qualify as a low 
animal intelligence with double inferior int.
