undead is a descriptive term, at any rate, and therefore doesnt follow the traditional rules of english, the same with living dead.

I suppose if we wanted a truly, technically correct term, we could say "Animate Dead", as in animated. As opposed to the spell in D&D.

Very good question, by the way. I hadnt really given the term much thought.
